Liches...?

[At the last part, Ed just shrugs.]

They don't seem evil, here... They weren't in the last place either, they just needed help- and when you're that desperate and have that kind of power...

[Some of them were evil, he didn't wind up blind by accident - not the point though.]

I'm not sure what to think of this place, yet. The similarities don't make anyone evil, but it does raise questions about the story we get on arrival.

[Ed doesn't add that he's fine staying here. Al's goal is to take him and go home, but he's perfectly content to remain, if he has his brother with him. He doesn't imagine anything much worse could happen than already has.]
