[@Lovejoy] Would it be possible to have a powerful (read: edgy) Omestrian inquisitor whose ethnicity is an open secret? Also, what culture is Omestris analogous to, especially in terms of names? Do they have any defining physical traits?

EDIT: At what age are initiates accepted into the Red Seminary? Can anyone join, or must they be recommended by an inquisitor first?

EDIT 2: How are Omestrians 'harvested'? Do they work as menial slaves, pummeling the ice mines with balls of ether energy? Are they forced to meditate until they starve?
