Just curious
So I was rereading The Last Stand of the New York Institute, and something was bugging me.
So the Lightwoods were sent to New York to “atone for their mistakes”
The Fairchilds tried to escape Valentine and therefore hide in New York
The Herondales... well, there was only Jace, we knew how he ended up in NY
But the Blackthorns were in Los Angeles BEFORE the Circle.
Like the Lightwoods, Fairchilds and Herondales they were from Britain originally
How did they end up in LA if they were basically not involved in the Circle and had no apparent reason to leave the UK? Did the Clave just happened to send them to LA to run the Institute or was there a bigger reason for this?
(I mean they weren’t exactly devoted followers of the law so... they might have done something??)
