I play a once convicted heretic, who is now laying (semi) low in Ishgard.
She was caught on semi circumstantial evidence, tortured until she confessed to all sorts of things, and exiled.
She was going to be killed, but due to her age, family standing, and some peculiarities at her trial, she was branded and exiled instead.
Now that tensions are cooling in the city, she has returned. Different people have different reactions, most are happy to put the worst terrors of the inquisition behind them, and give her the benefit of the doubt. Others are not so forgiving.
As for her actual heresies, they were never quite terrible. She read forbidden literature, went to forbidden meetings, and even heard lady iceheart speak once! She has given up on most of the things she was told by fellow heretics, understanding they were as much lies as the teachings of Ishgard.
Though Evangeline still doesn't believe the gods are real... and that manages to annoy some people.
