Hint: you get your shot to have Anna only after you do a favor for her "father." Hope that helps.

You can get Morte. The only other companion you can get before Annah is in the Smoldering Corpse Tavern, and it's not the burning one. You often meet future companions long before they join you.

The mage trainer is near the thief trainer, an woman trading stuff who you have to ask if she's a witch.

For basic questions, your best resource is the walkthrough on GameBanshee. It'll tell you all that stuff: where to get magic, all the quests involved, where to pick up every companion, etc. We reserve the forums for more difficult questions, since the site owner doesn't want to duplicate content. He says it slows the forum down if "Where can I find X?" is asked many times, when it's already in the walkthrough. ;)

Yes, but reading a walkthrough can really spoil the experience, if all you have is one simple question.

Just something to think about...

Asking questions on a forum can also really spoiler your experience. This is of course your choice, Fable is merely showing you the line GB puts down.
Sage plays a paladin,
because other classes would be frowned upon for laying their hands on a wounded companion

You're missing the point.

Asking one question about a single part of the game won't usually spoil a large chunk of a game like reading through a walkthough can easily do.

I added "NPC spoiler" to the title of this thread.

Please do not forget to either add "spoiler" or write your replies in black, if you reveal quests and/or parts of the storyline.
Thank you.
