I believe that's another point where gameplay and story diverge. Much like in DA 2, how abominations don't need a host at all but sometimes are simply summoned.The Angry One wrote...
Circle tower, 2nd floor, 4 tranquils are trapped and become possessed during the fight.
If you kill everything quick enough a few might survive.

The chant teaches you these things if you read the lost scrolls:
The only good mage is a dead mage. Thus spake the maker to Andraste. - From the Canticle of Merideth, book 1 chapter 3.
Thou shalt kill the mages, both guilty and seemingly innocent, to protect you from what they may become. - The Old Testament of Cullen - Book 1 chapter 1.
Now the Cullen book is considered OLD testament as opposed to the more modern book of Cullen which contradicts this one. I believe this is because he was subjected to blood magic and/or it is heretical writing (the New Testament of Cullen).
Except that if you are a Templar, being found in a tower during the annulment, namely a Templar the annulling Templars don't recognize, they are probably going to kill you, just to be on the safe side.PsychoBlonde wrote...
You know what any intelligent mage would do under these circumstances? Kill a templar. Take said templar's armor. Barricade self in closet. When the cavalry arrives, pound on the door until they let you out. Cry for your mommy. When they take you out of there and kick you out of the templar order because you might have been possessed, make a big stink about how this isn't fair and you worked so hard to become a knight blah de blah de blah. Then head for the hills while trying desperately not to giggle like a giddy schoolgirl.
Oh, and make sure your phylactery was destroyed before you attempt this.

The issue is this:
By the time the Right of Annulment is invoked, the tower in question has moved beyond the possibility of mages being brought under control enough that Tranquility would even be possible. It's possible some mages might survive the initial assault, but the order cannot be "take any prisoners you can" simply because by that point a mage might have been corrupted and become a blood mage... something which cannot be detected under normal circumstances. Thus capturing them becomes a means for them to escape the quarantine.
So therefore the order is "kill everyone". At the end of the day, if any mages are still alive for whatever reason... then, yes, I imagine they could theroretically be made Tranquil as opposed to executed outright.

Can you tell us what happens in the Kirkwall case?
I presume that Cullen becomes acting Knight-Commander. Does he rescind the Right of Annulment? Are the surviving mages made Tranquil? What happens to the apprentices in the Circle (some are brought into the Circle at an extremely young age.)
