The Heretic The Heretic is a Temples quest available during the events of . The Agent must investigate the claim of a potential Prophet for one of the Eight Divine Temples , a claim that is considered dubious at best . Background . After joining one of the Eight Divine Temples scattered throughout the Iliac Bay , the Agent will be assigned randomly determined quests to complete by one of the Temple ' s missionaries . Walkthrough . According to one of the temple missionary there has been some discontent growing within , caused by the claims of a potential prophet to have heard the voice of their favoured Divine . An investigation involving some of the temple ' s priest ( ess ) es and clerics is already underway , although the missionary still requires the Agent to do some digging . Accepting the quest will reveal the name of the prophet , their current location , and the location of their supposed epiphany . However , the Agent is tasked with speaking with one of the temple ' s clerics , who has been doing some investigations in the prophet ' s hometown . A Loving Link . The entire investigation revolves around the prophet ' s lover , who is hidden somewhere in the region . Two options are open to the Agent : the first being to follow their original instructions and speak with the cleric ; the second to find the priest ( ess ) going through the prophet ' s dungeon of revelation . Clerical Considerations . The cleric can be found in the inn of the prophet ' s hometown , and will expect the arrival of the Agent immediately . Speaking with them will that they have been in contact with the prophet ' s lover , but they need the Agent to speak with the lover face to face to try and get a confession . The cleric will also produce a copy of the prophet ' s tract so the Agent will " know what this [ prophet ' s name ] ' s all about . Revealing Revelations . Instead , the Agent can head into the dungeon where the prophet allegedly spoke to the temple ' s God in order to speak with the priest ( ess ) who had already been sent there . After finding the priest ( ess ) they will reveal that there were some letter fragments detailing the prophet ' s lover in the dungeon , although there is little else to aid the investigation . They will therefore task the Agent with finding the lover , in hopes of getting a confession from them . The Torn Heart . After one of the two paths has been followed , the Agent will have to ask around the lover ' s town to find them . Once found the Agent will receive one of two responses from the lover , based on the Agent ' s reputation within the lover ' s faction . A successful reputation check will see the lover hand the Agent a letter detailing the prophet ' s deception , as well as the following response : On the other hand , a failed reputation check will result in the following dialogue : If the letter was handed to the Agent , then they may return to the missionary who gave them the quest in order to complete it . If , however , the lover denied knowing the prophet , then a new avenue of investigation must be opened . Mysterious Murders . Between two and twenty two days after the quest was started by the Agent , one ( or potentially two ) messages will be handed to them . They will detail the deaths of either the cleric or the priest ( ess ) , and it is up to the Agent to visit the scene in order to complete the investigation . A Clerical Correction . The first letter received will be addressed from the tavern that the cleric was staying in . The letter itself reveals that the cleric was found dead , and that a replacement had been sent to continue the investigation . The Agent must head to the tavern and speak with the replacement cleric . The replacement cleric will greet the Agent accordingly , detailing their predecessor ' s gruesome death . They will also hand the Agent an artefact , which was found buried in the former cleric ' s chest . They suggest that the Agent take the relic to the lover in hopes that they will recognise it . Returning to the lover and showing them the artefact will cause them to respond with shock , as well as acceptance that the prophet was not acting in their best interest . They will hand the Agent the letter , stating : The letter may now be shown to the missionary who gave the Agent the quest in order to complete it . Ritual Remains . The second letter will reveal that the priest ( ess ) , originally sent to the dungeon the prophet supposedly had their revelation , has failed to report their findings . The missionary has therefore decided to countermand the Agent ' s former orders , and instead sends them to try and find the priest ( ess ) , or their remains , before reporting back directly to them . With little else to go on , the Agent will have to enter the dungeon and track down the lost priest ( ess ) . A thorough search of the dungeon will reveal that the priest ( ess ) has vanished , although a single part of their anatomy remains . Indeed , a " ritualistically stripped " finger has been removed from their body , evidence that the priest ( ess ) has been killed . Taking the finger to the missionary will complete the quest . Reward . Successfully completing the quest within the time limit will see the agent given a random Precious Gem , which may be enchanted with an unknown power . The success or failure of the Agent in undertaking the quest will also affect their reputation in the Temple :
