Not now at least. In truth, any rager that would let a mage go past them when they saw them in the vicinity would surprise me. I've never seen, nor would I expect to see, anything other then hatred or at least pity and disgust at mages. As a mage, you realize that these are people that gloat over the severed head of one who studies your art. They hunt down your guildmates, yourself, and anyone who practices magic like you. Sylvans can be as much barbarians as villagers, even the mages. That sort of clash against clash, pride against pride, when dealing with two very brutal cabals (sylvan in a cheap, no honor type way and ragers in a devastating bloodthirsty way) should naturally have each other at each other's throats. A mage killed a rager, thats all that should matter, no real villager would *want* a mage to show them mercy.
