Inessa paces a little as she speaks, glancing over her shoulder at where she can still see Garahel napping.

"I would allow the mage contact with the outside world. As the Circle stood, unless they had considerable influence -such as being from a noble family- they never heard from their families again, nor were they to have families of their own. Everyone else in Thedas has this right; denying them only makes the demons' offers more tempting. And the Templars have been given too much power. They should fight against demons, abominations, blood mages...but not monitor mages who have done no wrong. Their abuse of power is partly what lead to the rebellion.

And before you ask, I did not take part in that. When my Circle fell, I left to join the Grey Wardens."
