>>104672922Lets put this in very simple terms
The magi sold themselves into slavery after kicking out the local earl who granted them protection out of his own heart.
After the townfolk turned on them for this, they they sold themselves with Trevintor, the mage theocracy.
No brainwashing was used or needed, they gave themselves freely and every action is made of their own counternace, they choose to be evil if you dont recuit them.
Templars were foced through withdrawl for their addiction, mislead by their commander who was a high level desire demon wearing his skin, then given Super meth to hold off their regular meth cravings, after being abandoded by everybody.
They still rebel against this and have to have every level of their officers infiltrated and turned.
If you dont rescue them, they become super strong brainwashed drug addicts.
Who deserves to be saved more? Who is more usefull?
Also im going to add that the mages also killed off all the tranquil because they thought carrying around a few aspergers was too difficult and turned their skulls into spyglasses.
The templars, even evil sheltered and protected all the tranquil.
