Who are those mages exactly? You can only start conversation with 3 of them. I'm in redcliff right now, alt tabbing.
I just saw a group of mothers debating a magister ruling the city. It ended with" Either way, we're safe now. That's all that matters right now"
its 4 mages total ( connor included ) that you could talk to ..............actually there is a 5th and she supports the alliance , she is the only one however , the others dont and beg your Inquisitor to help them out of the deal.
I believe you could find one of them at the travern you meet Alexius at , there is one in front of the town's shops , then there is another one you could find on your way to meet with Dorian , he is a young elven mage.
