Interesting theory, though I don't know why she'd be leading an army of witches again and why it'd be taken to to strike the Free Marches, which seems to be one of the weakest and least unified of the nations. It does coincide with the Chantry failing though seeing as an army of Templar's would no doubt be the one thing that could mull her army, no organized Chantry no organized group of Templar's.
Yeah, I have no clue as to the why for Flemeth's motivations. But that frame in the trailer with Flemeth's female apostates against Templars makes me think that somehow Flemeth might tie in to the whole "Chantry in ruins" plotline we're hearing about.
The other thing that might tie with regard to the Free Marches being the epicenter of the Chantry's troubles would be that the College of Magi in Cumberland is right next to Kirkwall and in Awakening Wynne mentions something that they're having a conference or something there right?
Then you've got this from the
Game Informer Timeline of Thedas article about Templars in Kirkwall:
9:21 Dragon Age: Lord Marlowe Dumar is appointed the new Viscountof Kirkwall, replacing Perrin Threnhold, a tyrant killed by the city’s templars “for the good of all.” It is noted by many, however, that Threnhold’s abuses were only opposed after he tried to have the templar order expelled. It is said that Dumar holds power at the sufferance of the templars, and that their order has grown extremely powerful in Kirkwall during his reign. They have become the center of Chantry strength in eastern Thedas and hold their Circle of Magi in a terrifying, iron grip.
So, especially if Bethany is an apostate, seems that the heavy Templar and Chantry presence in Kirkwall may be of some significance. And given Flemeth and Morrigan's interest in the Old Gods and all that, they clearly have no love for the Chantry's tight grip on mages, so I'm sure they'd have no problem with seeing the Chantry crumble. But would they go out of their way to build an army to free weak mages from the grip of the Chantry? Surely they have some other motivation in play....
