Well he can certainly consume the same gelatinous nonsense that passes for food, so there is that. [As long as it comes close to looking like fruits and grains. Granted the Hart enjoys the stuff almost as much as Dorian, eating out of the need to do so and not for the sheer pleasure of it.]

I suppose that's true, I've not yet tried to put any plants in my mouth yet, but that's not the only way a plant can bite you in the arse, so to speak. [Touching a plant can have untoward effects and...well...did they know whether or not the air they were breathing was completely safe?]

Ah, well, their philosophy tends to abandon the idea of autonomy, they think the world would be a better place under their "Qun." Everyone would have a purpose and no one would be starving on the streets, that's probably a positive...but what it takes to get there? First there's war, next there's conversion and those who do do not wish to convert are brain-washed and if that doesn't work they are killed, and finally thinking for yourself is prohibited. I would never survive under the Qun, not as a person...and especially as a mage considering what they do to them.

[Not something he'd want to experience honestly.]

Probably. I gave up my own heritage, not as a mage, you can't just stop being a mage...but as a family heir. I left behind the gold, the name, the lofty positions in court, all that rot. It's better.
