User blog comment:General MGD 109/How was Sigan killed?/@comment-4560619-20111029022335

My daughters and I have been joking around about this for some time. How did Uther manage to kill all those sorcerors in the Great Purge, when it appears any decent sorceror should have been able to escape his dungeon and his soldiers? Camelot appears to have the most escapeable dungeon in the history of Albion.

SInce we're talking about Sigan, though... If everyone was so afraid of him, maybe a group of good sorcerors helped to defeat him. Since Uther seems to have used and then executed the dragonlords, maybe he did the same thing with others?

It also occurs to me that sorcerors who lost their vision would probably not be able to use their magic. Although Merlin doesn't always use a word or hand gesture, he always seems to direct his magic with his eyes. Blindfolding (or blinding--yuck!) might be an effective way of capturing a sorceror. Knocking them unconscious would certainly also work for a time.

My vote would be a bunch of other sorcerors captured him, because he was too dangerous and vicious.
