i am curious how much this title will affect your interactions with the Chantry. Will they grow to embrace it over time, declare you a heretic or whatever else? it is a nice twist, to already have a title at the start.
It'll probably depend entirely on how pro-Chantry you are. Movements that deviate only slightly from orthodoxy are frequently absorbed into established religious bodies in order to reduce schisms (this is especially true for organisations like the Chantry which have universal aspirations. Using the Catholic Church as an example, historically a lot of groups with sometimes quite distinct focuses became integrated as monastic or other mendicant orders in order to promote unity).
Of course once the group begins to deviate massively from orthodoxy, if the institution has the capacity they will attempt to quell it. Labels of heresy are usually part of this strategy. Th existing Chantry has likely labelled the Inquisition as heresy because they lack a military force and are hoping to sow distrust among the laity, since this is the only effective form of countering a potential rival open to them at this stage (and, lest we forget, marketing is an incredibly powerful social force).
