It's Templar training. And it took a series of things to figure it out.


That's exactly my point, so how could someone like Emmittyn, possibly drunk, detect a mage in the dark?

And to think this is a DA rp. It seems more like Game of Thrones.

It's not him, but the Templar girl who was set on sending mages to... the Circle of Magi.

The noise? Shouting "apostate" makes a lot of noise in a chantry I heard.

It made too much noise enough to alert a rogue in a tent outside of the Chantry itself.

Also, I'm a bit surprised her mumblings about the "dreaded tevinters" got no notice from either templar. She's still doing it, btw.

We're Templars, we tend to ignore the struggling of Mages. The fact that she said "I'm sorry" is a big thing coming from a Templar, so yeah.

This actually makes me wonder how many times templars are wrong but take people to the circles anyways. There's got to be a conspiracy theory somewhere about this.

I was under the impression that Templars only took people away who actually showed signs of magical ability.

Those are for children to be taken to the Circle. Apostates are a different story.

Me too. But things have been done. This is all based on the assuming of a single Templar and a single word spoken loudly. I don't like it, and shit will be done to (attempt to) remedy.

Though they will find out later, they don't know now. And it bothers me.

If I've seen anything, they've put a Chantry sister named Lily in Mage's Prison despite having no magical ability whatsoever.

Agreed.

Also, there's sort of a thing between Dales and Templars that they leave each other alone to not upset human-elven relations. Of course, this might not apply to lost Dales, but still.

Ironically, this serves as a cataclysm that I did not expect. Almost all the characters have been alerted to each other and are now in the same area and most have a common goal; save the Elf chick.

Also, I'm setting this up to be self-remedied. You know, slight mistake here to let Lena escape somehow. But all characters rushing to her aid work too.

This might have something to do with what Zevran said, about humans seeing elves as naturally prettier. <3

Ashanil, the rogue I offered to pick, went through most of the same stuff, but defended Levanel even while enslaved. Like a big sister, rather than a friend. Like what Soren does now. She never got tattoos either. Due to not knowing if Vel had them, I'm not sure how well you follow the story, but it was Ashanil's 18th birthday, the day she was supposed to get her tats, and that was when it all happened.
