"We did not see it as prison, Korrin. We lived, we studied, if we were skilled we were sent out to do work for the Spire's profit, we could learn or research whatever we liked within reason. It was my home. The templars treated us well, it made the disappearances, the accusations of blood magic all the more shocking. They took precautions and we followed them for our own safety. Mages were being targeted in these murders- people went missing...we were afraid. The templars did what they could to keep us safe." And it had not been enough. Not in the end.
