Inquisitor: Doctrina Malum is an unofficial, immersive, collaborative-fiction project set in the universe of Warhammer 40,000.

Participants assume the role of an aspiring Inquisitor, interact with members of their Ordo, and catalog their activities as mission logs within the community.

As a community, participants help fill out the story by submitting creative writing briefs and engaging in fan-made content.

If you’re a fan of Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy, Inq28, the SCP Foundation, or alternate-reality RPGs, you will feel right at home.
