Unfortunately, the full consequences of the powers invested within a Confessor had not been foreseen. They were often brought along on a Confessor's travels as a reminder to everyone they met of a Confessor's power. The dethroned rulers were forced to live as slaves to the Confessors in Aydindril. Removing these rulers required a group of Confessors who would use their power to infiltrate a castle by confessing people of lower rank and working their way up until they reached the King or Queen. Many rulers tried to force Confessors under their command, which caused the Mother Confessor to dethrone these rulers and replace them with ones who understood that Confessors were independent individuals. Their order became symbolic of truth as they were vested with the informal power to rule over the Midlands.

The Confessors were created in an effort to ensure that truth could be ascertained during situations that called for it.
