#bwall and dorian disapprove of that sentencing so kara probably got a good talk from them (not simultaneously) about how bad that is... lol

ok im spitballing here - kara's mother was a former ben-hassrath whose job was to essentially lobotomize mages. when she had kara and found out they had magic, she and her wife voluntarily (?) became tal vashoth and left their lives to protect kara. and while kara was growing up, their mother told stories of what happens to bad little mages who don't listen to their moms as some sort of cautionary tale. and they're like. ok. sure. they didn't believe it, but they were still a good kid lol.

as a merc, they haven't met any tranquil but have heard stories about them told around the campfire - and probably the first time this happened, kara was shocked that their mother's stories were true 😭

fast forward as the inquisitor and meeting magister erimond and all the shit that went down with the grey wardens, kara was like. yep. this dude deserves it. and since kara has so much respect for their mother and their old job, they felt proud that they could do kinda the same thing as the inquisitor with their judgements
