Solara looks unconvinced, "While magic does not make one evil, it is true that magic can be used to commit great evil. I cannot say it is a bad idea for a country to monitor their mages carefully, but the nadu are no citizens of your country. Should it not be their responsibility to make sure their mages powers are not abused? Perhaps they are not currently up to the task as you say, but you have already shown they can be educated and it is up to them to succeed or fail. I do not believe there is justification in killing their people because of the mere... possibility of evil. That is akin to declaring war on all who are wealthy, or skilled in warfare, or well connected politically, because they are more dangerous than the common peasant."<br/><br/>Solara sighs and rubs her forehead, "I am no expert on these matters, and you have given me much to think on. If you have men to spare I would accept aid in subjugating the pirates who plague your ships. It seems that would be much easier on my conscience to repay you for you aid. I am unclear of what I will do after that, I am still uninformed of these lands or their relation to my homeland. It seems the word of Sune is unheard of in these parts, and perhaps that is why the Lady Firehair has led me here."
