#out of shape over it /anyway/ because there's elves in the clergy now. do you guys just not recruit them why am i the only one here

its too bad that datv decided to just ignore wholesale the mage rebellion because im sooo curious about it re: nevarra... the game tells us that "mages" are highly respected and have the same freedoms as anyone else but im a little skeptical how far that acceptance extends past specifically mortalitasi

because of course the only other nevarran we've met in previous games is cassandra and she's very much pro-circle and reinsitutes them if she becomes divine, and in dai's multiplayer there's a character sidony was abandoned by her mother when it was discovered she was a mage

so i have to think that there must be some very, very bitter feelings from those mages who don't have necromantic talent who are shut up in the circle of magi and have very limited personal freedoms, versus those who do have necromantic talent and are spirited away to the necropolis to study and have much much greater personal freedoms.

not to mention that looking around at the necropolis npcs the vast majority of them are humans, so there's an added layer of tension of all the elven circle mages who are barred from entry right at the onset (i think the only way an elven ingvellar gets around this is because they were adopted by the mourn watch as a baby, if they'd been raised in a circle originally then it would have been a no-go)

so in my world state leliana is divine so no more circles of magi so this tension probably doesn't exist in the same way in 9:52 but there's probably some older mages (particularly elven ones) who are still really bitter that their necromancer counterparts got to enjoy freedom that they had to literally go to war over.
