"There seem to be a lot of... nuances to Thedas' various governments and cultures," Hermione murmurs thoughtfully. "Supposedly, there are even some mages who think that the Circles were a good idea. I'd like to think that that means that mages hadn't been mistreated in every Circle, but I'm hardly qualified to say as much one way or the other. I just hope that, whatever happens here, it's in the best interests of everyone involved, not just those with some sort of power or who happened to be favored for some reason or the other."

Unable to help chuckling just a little, Hermione shakes her head and remarks, "That wouldn't do at all. Though in all fairness, I'd like to think we won't be here long enough to forget where we came from."
