The Inquisition? [SPOILER]

[RyuDragnier]

One of my biggest issues with 3.0 was the lack of a whole reactionary Ishgardian group after the grand reveal, so dealing with them throughout 3.x wouldn't be so bad. Seriously it makes so little sense how the Archbiship was all "I can't reveal the history, Ishgard can't handle the truth!" and when all is said and done people seem to be fairly "Oh? Okay." about a whole life shattering reveal like that.

Considering the peasants were treated like crap by the people high up in the church, they're probably happy because those jerks are no longer around. Meaning they have the chance to be happy without fear of being prosecuted for no reason.

I mean, I dunno about that. Like, no one really seemed to care until Francel was accused in Central Coerthas, I'm thinking a lot of lower class Ishgardians have a whole "Well, I can't believe Dave is a heretic! I thought he was always a nice guy. Good thing I'm a good member of the Church and would never be accused of heresy." I mean, it has been the main and only system of faith in Ishgard for the past 1000 years. You see plenty of foot soldiers (Lots of which come from the lower class) and random citizens either actively supporting the persecution of heretics (Or "heretics") via agreement or participating in it ( eg Soldiers helping hunt down and kill heretics) or just silently accepting it all. It's a game of witch hunting and dogma that's been going on for a very long time, I find it particularly odd that the lower class (Which iirc, have a little church of Halone sitting right in the Brume) would just all be like "Good ridden!" Like that was one of the main reason the Archbishop was all "Nope, no one knows the truth."

Can you blame them for supporting the persecution of heretics given what they'd been told for the last millennium, and the fact some were insane enough to turn themselves into dragons?
