Easily the most terrifying piece of the Steel Ministry, the Canton of Inquisition is mostly made up of normal obligators, but most of these lack much true power. Instead, its primary officials are Steel Inquisitors, former humans who have been given incredible powers through Hemalurgy. Though they are technically ranked below the Canton of Orthodoxy, Steel Inquisitors are the most dangerous force in the Final Empire beyond the Lord Ruler himself. A police force of sorts, Inquisitors are charged with interrogating, arresting, and generally controlling the populace when need be, but their main purpose is tracking down and killing skaa Allomancers.

Obligators from the Canton of Resource manage the Final Empire’s natural and human resources, regulating and recording both materials and workforce statistics. Undertakings that involve major use of resources, such as building or expansion of canals and cities, must be approved by them before beginning. They also handle projects that produce more assets, such as mines and lumber work.
