I would like to start by saying that I believe that mages can never live equally amongs normal people. So I thought if mages are so dangerous and can't ever live amongs normal people, why not let mages live somewhere on their own? Like a land where all the mages can go and build themselves cities, magic academies and other stuff. A place where non-mages won't be allowed to go. All the newborn mages could be sent to this land and all non-mages born in that land could be given some gold and sent to the other side of the world.

So in this land everybody will be equal, since everybody is a mage, and in this land mages could find solutions on how to deal with their demon problems on their own. I'm not saying every mage SHOULD go there, it would just be an alternative to living in the circle under the chantry and the templars. 

Some could argue that this could become a second imperium if these mages start to inslave non-mages. But in this land mages should be taught of basic freedom concept, of how this land came to be because they wanted to be free, and how if they inslave other people they will be no better than those that held them captive and opressed. All the power hungry blood mages should be dealt with by the rest of the mage society. 
Maybe even some tevinter mages that don't want to shed blood everyday just to get by will also come to the mage land.

So what do you think? Is this an option?

Quite aside from the Chantry, I doubt any nation in Thedas would look upon a nation composed entirely of mages with anything other than extreme skepticism. Even with the leaders most kindly disposed towards those with magic abilities, there's a lot less concern with an incredibly powerful individual who holds loyalty towards -your- country, as opposed to a group of incredibly powerful individuals who collectively hold loyalty towards a completely different country. 'Imperial ambitions' would be at the forefront of everyone's mind, I imagine.
