There is no choice for a Mage when their life is seriously as threaten as it was in KirkWall. Who would not want to learn enough magic to protect themselves fully from their bleeding enemies and having the power to control them and use them against their friends. No she should have stepped in she was not protecting anyone. Countless Mages became Tranquil going against the Chantries rules and guidelines. That is where she should have stepped in and aided those who she wanted to protect. Blood magic should have involved her anyways. The very thought of that inside of a Circle is a disgrace and forbidden by the Seekers.
No Meredith was so over powered by the idol she wanted to keep the Cleric out of the whole situation. Do you seriously believe that if Meredith ended up turning every single mage in KirkWall Tranquil that the Grand Cleric would not step in and not be slayed by Meredith for trying to control her. You can clearly see that the power the Grand Cleric has over Meredith was failing and it wouldn't have been much longer after Anders blowing the Chantry up for Meredith to go completely A-wall. If Orsino was allowed into the Chantry and spoke to the Grand cleric Meredith would have killed him. She always tries her damnest to hide her faults she even tries to prevent Orsino to go to the Chantry before it blows up because she knew she was in the wrong.
The Grand Cleric knew no peace would come of this. We all know that. She did not believe that her Mages were blood mages,but she knew some were. She did not react when Blood magic is against the Chantry laws. She did not step it to ensure freedom she sat back and watched until it was to late.
There is still Anders inside of him. I can see it. His strength and passion for Mages stayed. He has grown more serious,but who wouldn't facing a talking darkspawn and meeting the whole reason why your simple apostate life style was changed. A lot has happened to Anders he has seen a lot. If we played as a Grey warden our Grey Warden this game things would have been completely different. No one not even the Grand Cleric Meredith Orsino or Anders would go up against the Hero of Ferelden. This war would have been prevented Anders would turn against the Hero and you would end up killing him anyways. Only because of Vengeance.
I see pieces of Anders inside of him. I see the passion he has always had. I understand his goals. Though taking Justice inside of him was completely wrong. He should have known that. Spirits maybe the Maker's first children,but they should never be involved in the lives of the mortals outside of the fade. I disrespect him for taking in Justice,but nto for taking matters into his own hands. Can you say you did not take matters into your own hands when you involved yourself in KirkWalls uproar? Can you not say that if you had the chance you would have killed Meredith or Orsino the same way. There is always a choice, that one would learn a demon's magic so they could use it on others is a choice. The very idea that anyone would dare think it alright to use magic to take of control of anyone in such a way is thinking just like a Tevinter mage and deserves death on the spot. The Rite of Tranquility is a necessary measure, I'm not sure you understand that. Magic is no gift, but a curse and those far too weak minded to control it must become Tranquil. The only other alternative is death and far too much blood has been spilled. A mage is not simply someone with magic power, they are a gateway and the mind is the only lock that keeps it closed from the Fade.
Meredith would have been stripped of her rank and would have been punished were she to even touch Orsino within the Chantry. The Grand Cleric was fighting her hardest, fighting the Viscount and Meredith with her words. If she were to simply sit back and accept everything every mage in kirkwall would have been imprisoned, tranquilized or killed. The people would have attacked the Qunari a lot sooner. You blame her for things that were not in her power to stop even though her goals and actions were good yet you promote Anders in his massacre of innocence simply because his goals were good? Elthina did not destroy a building with people who were sworn to peace inside.
No, if the Hero of Ferelden came things would not have been different, Just how Alistair was simply snubbed, so would the Hero be, by all except for Elthina. Anders would have been killed on the spot for fighting against what the Hero had been fighting for and he would still know no shame for what he had done. Justice is permissible, Murder is not.
Pieces do no make the whole, Having pieces of who he was simply makes him a mockery of what he used to be. He knew exactly what he was doing when he took Justice in, but he did not forsee what would happen when his desires corrupted Justice. I can say that I did not choose to murder the innocent, I can say that I would have chosen to make honor and peace highest priority, I can say I killed the abomination that had been using the Body of my friend.
If that were to have happened then Anders would have removed the potion. Things would have settled and a war would have been averted.The Qunari are difficult to deal with we don't understand them at all. If they could have openly told us that Isabella stole what they came for then they would have continued with their plans of converting us. That was something unavoidable.
I think it would have been different since the Hero of Ferelden saved the world so I think even Meredith would listen to what the Hero would have to say. If not the Grand Cleric or the Viscount. I would to disagree with a voice outside of the problems to listen too. Plus as the Hero we wouldn't be "harboring" missing mages from KirkWalls Circle. (I freed the Circle of Templars when I went Mage) Plus the Hero kind has a higher power since we saved the freakin world XD.
I refuse to call Anders an abomination(i love him to much to call him that XD). Only because he is the only mage I've ever known or heard of to do something as serious as his actions. (besides tevinter) One man's hands has shifted the entire world for everyone. Who else could have done that single handily. Don't say the Warden we have 4 armies with us. He did all of that with pretty much no help at all. It is unfortunate that because of the way the Templars had been ruling that things turned out the way they did. The mages did not deserve any of it, but likewise, The mages should not have been learning things they did not understand, that they could not control. Blood Magic is an assured death sentence, learning it simply puts the fear and paranoia into them, making it easier for a demon to break their control.
That is not how the Qun works, because the business of Kirkwall is not theirs nor is their business ours. They were not aware Isabella was traveling with us until much later, yet they would not ask of us something that they could do themselves that is unless, you were trying to prove your worth. The Arishok said it best.
"Fixing your mess is not the demand of the Qun! And you should all be grateful!"
It is not your place to begin making demands of the Viscount, Meredith would simply see you as another mage. Power is nothing in comparison to influence and even though you may have saved Thedas, people will still probably see you as someone to fix their problems, another glorified janitor. Kirkwall has a general lack of respect that I do not care for in the least. Elthina and the Viscount would probably listen though.
I will say the Warden, because it was not his or her army, it was the army of Men, Elves and Dwarves, marching together to face a terrible fate head on. He/She did not have their support from the beginning, He/She proved him/herself through many trials, From saving the soul of a Dalish Keeper from a never ending cycle of hatred To giving the Dwarves a strong and stable leader who would encourage change allowing his people to flourish where they had been stagnant for so long To molding an immature Templar into a worthy King of Ferelden. Proved him/herself worthy to chance upon Andraste's ashes and save not only the life of a man who he/she doesn't even know but his son as well. He/She believed in and saved the Circle of Magi where others saw it was a hopeless endeavor, calling for the Rite of Annulment.
It is only after all of this, did he have his/her army to face the blight, yet only one could make the finishing blow to the Achedemon and the warden took the responsibility in belief that after all he/she had done that maybe the world could change for the better when it was all over, that possibly, at least, the place he/she worked so hard to save, could finally be at peace.
The Qun got shipwrecked in KirkWall. They were seeking a book they had no idea the location of. Since they did not know Isabella had the book till later. They still could have left since they were unaware of the placement of their book.
It may not be my place to demand a high power to listen,but even as a commoner they would have listened in concern for KirkWall. Then again the moment I arrived in KirkWall I saw it as a lost cause and I wish I could have been like.
"Isabella get the ship ready, Anders get your a** on that boat I'm doing dealing with this crap," and left to let Orsino and Meredith tear the others throats out.
Only reason why I would say they would listen to the Hero is because they owe it to the Hero to listen from protecting Ferelden and the rest of the world from the blight. I mean it's not like Leliana didn't write songs about her and the Hero saving the world. The Hero has a small amount of respectful gossip through out KirkWall. Anyone who has power will listen to another with power.Who used it first is irrelevant. As I said it is the matter in which it is used. This point is made more prominent in the fact that those of Arlathan are now extinct and the Dales forbid blood magic while the Tevinter Imperium still prove to be strong in force and promote it.
Incorrect, The book was stolen by Isabela from Orlais when they had agreed to return the book to the Qunari. The Arishok chased Isabela down where their ships were caught in a storm, shipwrecking them both. The Arishok had no intention of leaving without that relic, his honor would not let him fail until he died. I suppose I should elaborate on that particular quote.
"A simple act of greed has bound me. We are all denied Par Vollen until I alone recover what was lost under my command! That is why the elf and her shadows are unimportant. That is why I do not simply walk from this pustule of a city. Fixing your mess is not the demand of the Qun! And you should all be grateful!"
I would have stayed as a peace keeper, regardless of what the situation is, one should try to save as much as they can. At least that is what I believe.
It won't matter, those in power generally choose to disassociate with other people in power, because they refuse to have their authority undermined. We may have done something great but we are not the First Enchanter, The Knight Commander nor the Viscount. We are simply outsiders and should be grateful to be allowed in the city at all.
