"There's no point in overthinking this. Tarian isn't a simple man—I saw that in the novel."
Unlike Boundless Knights, who usually serve a single noble for life, mages were different. They operated directly under what was called the Mage Hall, which determined their assignments and stationing. This explained why Tarian and the other mages lived permanently in the castle.
According to the novel, Tarian had only arrived in the barony three years ago. Faelor, on the other hand, had spent several decades in the area. As for Nerian, it was said he had been there for years, though the exact duration wasn't specified.
'Now that I think about it, when a mage dies or completes their service, the Mage Hall sends a replacement. Not that it really matters. If I don't send them a special request, they likely won't care or do anything. And news of a mage's death would take ages to reach them anyway.'
Sigh!
'No need to think about something like that right now.'
