i think a lot about the word "apostate" and its use for mages who don't live within a circle (who are either specifically and consciously choosing to devote basically their entire lives to remaining free of the circle or else who just... don't live in an andrastian culture and the chantry simply doesn't care because it's an evangelical organization). because like... apostacy is specifically the act of turning your back on a belief, and often specifically on a religion. irl.
apostates exist because of the chantry. without the chantry, the very concept of apostacy would be nothing. and the word, the concept, applies to those who renounce not the beliefs of the chantry, but a single, specific practice. linguistically speaking, that is enough for a mage to be declared separate from the chantry entirely. either you submit to the circles or you are apostate. separate. you have turned your back on the chantry and you are no longer truly andrastian, no matter what you believe, no matter how much you believe. because you didn't obey. i just have a lot of feelings about apostate mages who hold onto andrastianism despite andrastianism rejecting them. they are unwelcome, heretic, and still trying to make themselves part.
#it's why anders' luther moment was writing out his 93 theses with sala petrae and drakestone and nailing a chantry with it
#it's also why sebastian and anders are opposites
#anders believes but doesn't adhere to dogma
#sebastian follows dogma but
#seems to struggle believing
#letter vs spirit of the law faith vs practice
