I swear to you that we would not do this if there were any other recourse─but once a man is tempered, he is tempered for life. His very existence lends strength to the primal whom he cannot choose but worship.
This is quest text from the MSQ Quest line Lord of the Inferno. In short as it states the slaying of a primal has absolutely no effect on the tempered themselves. Their minds are given to the primal themselves, and so far we have been given no proof of anything contrary to that fact. This is why it is a rule of thumb for all of the Grand Companies, that all tempered victims must be put to death. Something that is once again reflected in that same quest line.
