"Possessed by Iphara" may be a legitimate defense if it was real, but I
don't think most Heortling courts would consider it to imply innocence.
Sometimes Iphara spontaneously forms herself around bands of murderers
going to their business. They are hidden by her even though they didn't
summon or ask her help. Her presence proves their guilty intent of murder.

Yea, me too.
