That would be incredibly helpful! Thank you all so much for the responses! I was nervous about posting in the RPC. I tend to lurk more often than not. Also found this for anyone whose interested:
http://chrysaliswiki.com/quests:ffxiv-into-the-dark
Play by play of the quest line in 1.0 that deals with the Faces of Mercy.Â
So far my theory is that they are sort of their own militia group within Ishgard. They are clearly not publicly approved by the City State if you go by the archer quest (thanks for that btw!) but the link above suggests that they are regularly used by the City State. If I had to guess I would say they are more often than not tasked with the jobs Ishgard would rather not acknowledge. So for example: say a member of a noble family becomes a heretic. That's embarrassing and rather making a big deal about it they hire a FoM to deal with the situation quietly.Â
Of course this is all just guess work. I would love to hear any other opinions on the subject - even if it is just head cannon! And since I'm already rambelling, does anyone know if Ishgard has a 'hunter' group? Like a group specifically tasked with bringing back heretics who've escaped Halone's justice by fleeing to somewhere else in Eorzea?
