In WW2, most prisoners of war are just killed sooner or later because of they draining resources, why want to feed the enemy? Concentration camps are just a place to interrogate, for fun (rape fest) and forced labor (to build rail roads and so on), after they are used the prisoners are usually killed
No, just no and no.
That's so much terrible history there.
While yes, Axis and Communist forces did that, however Allies with just few exception did not commit such war crimes and respected Geneva Convections.
And even before Geneve Convections, POW's in many Western countries had at least basic living necessities and later released in prisoner exchange or peace treaty.
So the Chantry pay heavy resource drainage to keep both Templars and Mages in the Circles...that is why they systematically kill apprentices in Harrowing and kill apostates whenever they meet them...they don't really want to capture apostates, they kill them...Circle Mages are mostly the ones who taken from childhood and so they can be brainwashed, the mature apostates like Hawke facing death if meet Templars on the road
What?!
Now that's a terrible lore there.
If Circle was systematically killing mages, then they're doing a pretty terrible job at it since most survive Harrowing and mage population doesn't show any decline( Cullen says there are more and more mages in Thedas, though statement should be taken with the grain of salt).
And apostate faith is mixed. It depends on the Templar assigned to hunt them down, as in willing to capture or kill on sight. As well as on apostate, depending how much danger does he/she shows.
For example, Anders escaped Circle several times and got caught most of the time. Actually all the time, just Darkspawn attack accidentally freed him from last capture. Not until his after last escape, they tried to kill him. And only because those Templar's were more interested in revenge, then it's duty.
Also in Kirkwall, there's an instance of a lot mages escaping the Gallows. Most got captured in their family homes quickly and send back to Gallows unharmed, as they offered no resistance to capture. Hell, they don't even harm a mage suspected of blood magic, though due to his idiocy was exposed to save his life from that stupid rumor he spread.
And that's Kirkwall Templar's with Meredith in charge. And she's the one that is systematically killing mages, waiting for an excuse to kill them all.
But she doesn't do them harm, because most of Kirkwall, many Templar's and the entire Chantry would oppose her in obvious and illegal actions. Only reason she managed to to got out of what she done, is by bending the rules just enough to seem correct or do it secretly so that accusations can be rejected as rumors and lies.
Oh and the proposed law to make every mage a Tranquil is outright rejected by the Divine herself.
In other words, what you're saying is nonsense.
Chantry is not only against, but also outright opposing on terminating mages. They know it's a very wrong and evil thing to do, so instead they make the Circle to keep everyone, including the mages, safe.
And everything was going mostly fine, until Kirkwall Templar's went completely nuts.
