Okay, so this is legit horrific... but it's actually really interesting. What if the Warden hadn't shown up at the Circle when s/he did? What if Greagoir had gotten the Rite of Annulment sooner? He clearly would have killed the Circle; even the mages who were more or less his "friends" were clearly subhuman to him.
So give me a Sterling-esque story, please? Murder begets guilt, guilt begets madness, and madness makes Greagoir an easy target for the demons that'll inevitably be preying upon the Circle.
Of note: * The templars would have a chance to save Cullen. And since the bastard's a mage-hater extraordinaire thanks to Uldred's idiocy, they likely wouldn't even send him to Aeonar; so he'll be hanging around to get under Greagoir's skin. * Jowan and Anders are the only two named mages who survived, simply because they'd already escaped beforehand. Anders, IIRC, is canonically returned to the tower in the interim between Origins and Awakenings, and Jowan returns for judgement if the Warden deems it. That has some horrible potential, yeah?

I'm looking for horror here, folks.
