Description You have been given a choice. Repent or burn. You chose the former. A common misconception is that the inquisition's task was to burn heretics, in fact the inquisition consistently spared any heretics who agreed to confess and repent, only those who refused to repent (or even worse, who retracted) had to be burned to purify their souls. Burning at the stake was an act of mercy because fire was believed to purify the soul and send heretics to heaven. You character have believed or was forced to follow a heretic cult. Most heresies were started by catholic priests or monks who had a particular vision of the faith, that was later on ruled as heretic by the church. (the entire Franciscan order for example was ruled as a heresy before being absolved very shortly thereafter)But the darkest heresies are secret organisations designed to trick the weak into serving the legions of hell. Some of your brethren decided to live their faith until the end and you saw them burn, the others like you where spared.Perhaps you even lead the inquisition to discover the cult when you realised it's true purpose. Alternatively, you may have committed a severe crime against god and the church excommunicated you. You have decided to make penance.
