Isn't it unreliable to use hearsay as evidence? Remember the rumors those templars had about how there were templars disappearing because of a secret initiation ritual that turned out to be BS and the work of a group of rogue blood mages putting demons in people?
Yeah, rumors get spread and then people believe them, and just because people believe it, doesn't make it actually true. For all we know, those three starkhaven mages were blood mages. Given how prevalent the amount of blood magic was thanks to orsino, that isn't that unlikely.
Orsino would not have had any effect on the Starkhaven mages that were executed or made Tranquil.
I think orsino being lax on the
mages, with himself being leniant on blood magic, allowed for the situation in kirkwall to deteriorate the way it did. Basically letting
mages practice blood magic so that they could fight the templars, when his job was to keep
mages from using forbidden magic and such in the first place. If he had done something sentsible, like sent a letter of condemnation to the divine, which I am more then confident he could have given his position, or sent word to the other circles to call a meeting to discuss this, things would have turned out much better and in his favor. But no, he choose to go to war, and invoke forbidden arts even tevinter doesn't wholelly approve in order to give himself an edge.
He at least owns 40% of the blame, meredith owning 45%, 5% on the chantry, and 10% on the qunari invasion.
