[She sighs, not bothering to hide the bitterness in her tone.]
She was right to warn you. As it turns out, Clarel was deceived and manipulated by Corypheus. The Calling that we all heard? His work. An agent of his, a Tevinter magister, convinced Clarel that blood magic and demon summoning would enable them to slay the remaining archdemons before the Calling took our order. Many of our comrades were sacrificed...and those mages who completed the ritual became mindless slaves to Corypheus.
Some of us protested the plan as we saw it unfold. I was raised in the Circle, taught of the evils of such magic all my life. And then when I refuse, I am the traitor? [Yeah, that will never not sting.] We would have fled, but were forced to remain at Weisshaupt until the Inquisition rescued us.
Suffice it to say, our rag-tag band of Wardens...has some trust issues.
