Well, I always liked the elven race on any fantasy setting. I would like to know if there is any upcoming idea of an expansion (or a sequel) where the elves regain their immortality and break free from their service of humans... Or will they regain some of their kingdom cities?

Don't crack a joke. Don't crack a joke. Don't...

Awww, hell. I can't not do it.

"When will the elves rise once again?" Probably after noon, the lazy bums!

The Chantry and the templars were started by the Orlesian Emperor Kordillus Drakon I, who organized the Cult of Andraste into a formal religion and established the templars. When the Divine was elected three years later, the Divine Age began.

Just a note that the Chantry didn't create the templars, per se. They established the Templar Order, yes, but the templars existed as the Inquisition previous to that-- an army of the faithful that hunted down not only mages but also cultists of the Old Gods. It was a dark time during a period when many different cults of Andraste existed, and it wasn't until one of them was established as the "official" cult (ie. the Chantry) that the idea of the Circle of Magi began and a need was seen for an official body to police it.

Minor point, perhaps, but there you go.

I'm hoping the elves become something like the Jews of today, going thru centuries more of prejudice and hardship only to return to where Arlathan once stood and become the dominant power in the region. I like that they're complicated and that they can be both instigator and victim. I hope they keep that.

There's definitely a correlation between the Jewish faith and the elves-- the Dalish believing that one day they will regain a proper homeland for their people, and that then they can begin teaching their lost brethren all the lore they have been keeping for them. Many people (humans, primarily) would see that as a threat, probably, not to meniton the notion that any homeland for the elves would have to usurp land that the humans currently occupy and claim as their own (regardless of whom it belonged to originally).

But, then, there are parralels that can be drawn between the elves and just about any oppressed minority-- and that's what I like about them.

I should replay that section but were the Haven Cultists another Andraste cult or Ex-Chantry that were converted into what they stand for now? I seem to remember the Guardian mention that Kolgrim's ancestor corrupted the faith into what it is now but I mean... were they part of the Chantry's sect of faith before the corruption?

That depends on how long they were around. The Chantry has been established for over 900 years, now, but that doesn't mean some of the other cults of Andraste still aren't kicking around. Chances are that in remote areas you'll have remnants of those old teachings and people obstensibly following Andrastian doctrine but in some very strange ways.

The better question would probably be: was the Guardian a believer in the Chantry's sect?
