[@CollectorOfMyst] haa, I was thinking about saying something similar.

It's **latter (though the way some people say it...)

[@Lovejoy] the ranks seem pretty good.  And I imagine the inquisition has its own ranks.  Creid I thknk would not be /just/ an Inquisitor, even if there are multiple ranks by that name and differentiated by class.

I figure that it's a combination of seniority, command skill, tactical/strategic skill, and fighting prowess (both physical and etheric) that determine one's rank in the Inquisition.  The default rank of graduates is Inquisitor.  Maybe there's a slightly lower rank that is made of the recently graduated Inquisitors, and they move to the basic rank after x time has passed or a successful mission or whatever.  Within the "inquisitor" ranks, they might be further divided by fighting strength, since their warbands would generally indicate seniority.  This is your private first class, private second class, etc -- though I really suggest using something other than "class", since the groups are literally made of classes of students.  It seems confusing.  

Command and tactics/strategy is the key skill for higher ranks beyond a simple Inquisitor.  So in theory a guy that's not so good at fighting (compared to the other Inquisitors, obviously) might still achieve a decent rank if he's sufficiently clever or charismatic.  Those being considered for ranking up beyond inquisitor could be officer candidates.  The ranks beyond Inquisitor are collectively called officers.  Officer cadets (maybe Knight Cadets?)  are newly appointed, and move out of the cadet rank in a similar fashion to junior Inquisitors becoming full inquisitors.

Our teachers would be officers of some sort.  I lean towards the knight rank just because.  I think the very top rank would be something like "Lord/Lady High Inquisitor" or something, leaving High Inquisitor the next rank down.  might be lord/lady inquisitors in there.  and then Knight Inquisitor is the most basic command rank.  Master Inquisitor would work too.

Forms of address would be ...not sure what to do abuot the top fellow, but High Mother/Father [name], Lord Father/Lady Mother [name], and then...also not sure what to do about knights.  oh, right, Dame.  Sir/Dame [name]  (I guess the father/mother part gets dropped?  eh).
