Feature: Heretic's Respite
Since you come from a group of people that know what is different that what is preached, and can point out holes in history. You can always find a place of rest by people of your inverse faith - at such an establishment, you are able to find survivable living conditions.
Suggested Characteristics
People who belong to your belief are more so concerned with exposing the wrong than being in the right. They often have out-of-the-way spots that they use for decent communication, and are always found either on the edge of cities or towns, or far out in the wilderness. Whatever your origin, you are always finding something odd about what is widely known.
