More to be added! I'll possibly need to edit this as time goes on so far as reputations and info go, but the reference of anyone who plays mages/has characters who might have visited Circles etcetera...
The basic point is that the Amsel family produces a lot of mages. They are almost always elven, rather than human & elf-blooded. It has been said that the only reason the family even has a last name is to make it easier for Circle administrators to keep family members separated. All of them sound aggressively Starkhaven.
Harlem, Free Marches. Eirianwen Amsel, First Enchanter. Knight Enchanter and master of Entropy magics. Killed in the battle between two massive abominations, often called the Harlem Shake. A kind but proud woman (sixties or so) who really liked Rules and Order and People To Stop Screwing Everything Up. Famous for butting heads with Templars constantly. All about protecting her mages, was really against That One Project.
Hasmal, Free Marches. Cerys Amsel, Senior Enchanter. Now in her nineties, a woman who is not as sharp as she once was, but is still of nimble mind. Feigns eccentricity. LET HER TELL YOU WHY PRIMAL MAGIC IS THE BEST have you considered setting fire to this Elderly practical joker. Fear. Her.
Kirkwall, Free Marches. Lilliwen Amsel, Enchanter. Early fifties. Spirit Healer, working with Spirit of Love. No one has heard from her since about six months prior to the explosion of the Kirkwall Chantry. Rumours about her having had a daughter some twenty-odd years ago.
Markham, Free Marches. Seren Amsel, Enchanter. Late forties. Spirit Healer, working with Spirit of Keggers and Fondue. Or of Compassion, either or. Makes a dragon wanna retire, man. Sass and carnage. Possibly also dead. Possibly too fabulous to be dead?
White Spire, Orlais. Herian Amsel, Knight Enchanter. Some jerk, who cares tbh. Human, super chill all the time.
THE AMSELS of so many freaking mage circles (Free Marches & Nevarra, mostly)
