Editing Dear Darkness:Bashter Evagrius (section)

===Ancestors are to be Revered, not Worshipped===
Bashter's first inquisitional investigation was as an assistant to Ulrich Butzer, a who embodied the stereotype of the puritanical inquisitor completely.  Bashter fell into the role of the "good cop" to Butzer's "bad cop" as they investigated a ring of Manja cultists.  Despite being an Avestite, Bashter was more cosmopolitan in his reflexes than Butzer.  Consequently, Bashter was able to get extremely valuable information from unlikely sources: A penitant psychic witness, a Gjarti practitioner who knew was also concerned about the Manja, and an Ukari swordsman who helped Bashter understand what exactly the Manja rituals were doing.  All of them were technically outside the investigations jurisdiction for various reasons, and Bashter saw no reason to try and bend the rules to prosecute them.  Butzer was beside himself, conflicted over the fact that Bashter had been instrumental in the investigation, but he had been far more tolerant than Butzer would have been.  Because Bashter was able to claim he followed the law perfectly in this case, Butzer and the Inquisition eventually accepted he had done a good job (this time).
