They’re memories were taken, the guards tortured them for no reason. The people inside that place were just left there to wither away and rot.
Their memories... They're means "they are". "for no reason" is superfluous and incorrect. The guards either tortured them to get more information, or they tortured them because they were ordered to do so, or they tortured them because they were mages and therefore to be hated. There is a reason. "just" is also superfluous. "The remaining husks of humanity were left in darkness to wither away and rot."
In one place, you say mages were more powerful than anyone else, and in another, you suggest they are easily hunted down and imprisoned. Magic can make a motorbike fly, but can't allow instantaneous teleport out of a metal and stone cage? Doesn't seem like that would work so simply. Would the king employ a special set of mages as hunters, or something else? Not incongruous, but a bit implausible to glaze over it quite so simply, even in an overview.
