This included the followers of the Elven gods; anyone found with Relics or other symbols of those gods were publicly executed. Nowadays he lives like he's on the run. He leads the rebellion so, naturally, he has a hefty bounty on his head. Soon, his life will forever be altered, and he may not be able to recover.
