#I have a vibe it's gonna be one sorcerer runs into Arslan and is shook when he finds Arslan's a mage

[tired-reader-writer]

Forgive me for my AU ramblings but—

Finding out from @innerchorus how Gurgin was always attracted to... darkness, sort of, and had a tendency to poke things that should not be poked at even before his brother's death... His tendency to question the norms laid before him (how interesting to say “might is stronger than faith” when he's a priest-in-training, eh?), I can't help but wonder what he'd think if or when he finds out about the clan.

Because even if none of the other disciples may know, I've decided that the Master definitely does. Not that they're still alive, no, but their history, the animosity, mages vs sorcerers in the fight against Zahhak, the role the mages played in the sealing of Zahhak (unclear if he'd know about the betrayal and the sacrifice)...

Actually, how should the disciples learn of the history, anyhow? Would the Master tell them? From the start? Or only after their first run-in with a mage, probably Arslan in Ecbatana?
