[@lovejoy] In today's random thoughts:

if fire is evil and the word itself is taboo or at least a curse, wouldn't a phoenix be the equivalent of like...the antichrist crossed with demons crossed with cthulhu on the Nope Scale?  Since it's a red phoenix (or it was, wehn it was on our breastplates) we know that it must be a fire phoenix as opposed to an ice phoenix or some other sort.  But it puzzles me why the Inquisition would choose such a horrific and heretical creature for the name of a warband.
