Were mages really feared in DA though? I inferred people apprehensive but not outright fearful. 

Here though, Templars would still serve their purpose of course of keeping the peace inside the Circile. I would say it's not a worldwide disdain to look down on mages but overall, many people would be unsettled by them maybe being outside of their expected Kingdom. At the same time, pissing off a mage or making them unwanted is probably an unwise thing to do so I'd also suspect most (smart) people would just avoid them or try to limit interactions if they a personal reason to be afraid.

And btw, if the three of us, you me and sMoKe need to do a 1x1x1 for this (if it comes down to the need or restarting the IntChk with you two already approved) I am up for that. This sluggish pace is killing me.

Three Englishes aren't bad but they are if they all decide to pile on reading at the same time, what makes it worse is I have the same professor for my first class as I do for my last, so bailing on it is a little more of a delicate situation. >___< Not cool.
