One day, they would do the same for their son... But for that disgrace of an inquisitor! Suspicion of heresy, what rot! He knew what he wanted from the start.

...By the time I secured her release, they had interrogated her for days. She...she was a shadow of her former self. But the final insult─the final twisting of the knife─was when my son took command at the Dusk Vigil and found the ice rondel to be the centerpiece of the newly commissioned sculpture of the Fury. He couldn't prove it was the selfsame one which had vanished, but, oh, he knew... But no more, no more! It is back with the family, where it belongs.

Little Orphan Candy Wrote:A knight patrolling the Brume was approached by a lowborn girl who exclaimed that her parents had given her a beautiful present for her nameday. Although she had been told to keep it a secret, in her excitement she revealed that it was a draconian rosary. Needless to say, the girl's parents will not be returning by supper. I would send her some sweets as thanks for her service to the Holy See.

The Mustache Suits Him Wrote:Notices have been posted hither and thither for a wanted heretic hiding among the baseborn; yet it seems there are those who would still protect such a sacrilegious traitor. Upon passing by some of the posters, I noticed many scratched up, torn. There are even those who have been defiled by coarse graffiti about the priests and their poor mothers. If the flea-bitten mutts intend to mock me, then I shall have need of mythrite ink, whose properties allow it to project beyond lesser inks which have been applied over it.

Overall, We Blend In Wrote:The village of Hemlock in the western highlands of Coerthas was thought to be abandoned, but rumors have surfaced that men are attempting to reclaim the ruins for sinister purposes. The Inquisition would like to send one of their own to investigate, disguised as a farmhand returning home. She must needs look convincing, and thus requires suitable garb.

Warmer Than Wine Wrote:If rumors are to be believed, there are fish in Azys Lla known as bullwhips who jump and thrash when but a mere drop of dragon blood - sweet as nectar to their palate - falls in their vicinity. I shiver with delight when I hear this, for it means a quicker way to discern an accused heretic. Could I trouble you to bring me some fresh specimens to test the theory? Do not take pains to feed them. We have plenty of food available.

Necrologos Of Sallow Vizards Wrote:I had a criminal executed for his public display of heresy, but I fear he may have sown seeds of discipleship. When I granted reprieve for a moment of quiet repentance ere the cold steel's cut, the miscreant drew a copy of the sacrilegious tome, the Necrologos, concealed within the folds of his robes. His obsession led him to rip out the pages, scattering them to the reach of strong winds and cackling about his "followers" until I ordered his lunacy be brought to an end. Retrieve the torn pages and exhaust the monstrosities within so no others might succumb to the void's taint.

Dance, Magic Dance Wrote:A fugitive that escaped from our grasp some time ago has been spotted in the Dravanian hinterlands. Her body broken and her face scarred with burns, the witch would have been recognizable to anyone had she not disguised herself as a goblin to live amongst the hinterland clans, naught to be revealed until she had been discovered taking off her false mask for a breath of fresh air. I grow weary of the goblins' impunity in attacking our men and harboring a fugitive, so I would employ an adventurer to rid us of the beastmen entirely. Once our path has been cleared and the suspect seized, I intend to peel back the layers of mystery regarding her break from the gaol, fingernail by fingernail.

In any case, I think being able to use a flying chocobo might be a possibility that could be explored

While not directly involved in an "underground railroad" of sorts, my character helped another family that was close to her own escape when their father (not hers) was falsely accused some years ago. Their father didn't make it, but his wife and children did, due to the help of a secret few. In my story, those that helped were simply npcs, but perhaps when you have your backstory sorted out, we could say that your "group"/character was part of the secret few that helped.

My Elezen is a lesser noble from Ishgard who desires more to heal and help those in need in Ishgard than to be the proper noble daughter her father would like her to be. Feel free to drop me a line if you are interested at all.

There are gaols in Whitebrim which you can visit. There's a Roegadyn heretic in one of them and a quest from the gaoler wanting you to bring one of the prisoners a dead rat or something to use in some heretic ritual so he'll shut up about wanting raw bloody meat for an hour. (He thinks the rat is a dragon and he'll turn into a dravanian by drinking its blood.) There's also a guy down there falsely accused of heresy that you end up proving his innocence in the questline.

So, yes, there are prisons and they do seem to remain there for some time. However, this could just be because places like Whitebrim and Dragonhead and beyond are outside the city-state and it takes time to get an Inquisitor out there to pass judgement on the prisoners. So they may just use the gaols as a place to hold heretics until they can put them to death.

That was about a year after the Calamity happened, so I'm not sure how long Solenne has been retired from it, but if she was still active then, Lune may recognize her.

Solenne would have been active then, yes. We should totally talk! I would love for Solenne to have some connections from her past.
