Since some of us have managed to secure the book... and read it before it's even published, we could have some sort of dicussion. I'll share details of the book to whoever is interested.
SPOILER WARNING - If you do not want to be spoiled with details of the book do not read on. You have been warned.
==================================================================================
Some things we learnt:
- It is possible to reverse the rite of tranquility. I quote "I realised early on that Tranquility wasn't repairable on this side of the Fade. It needed to be done from the other side. A spirit had to bridge the gap - it could only do that if it knew exactly where to look. The Rite renders the Tranqui invisible to spirits." The Rite renders a Tranquil undesirable to a demon because to them, a Tranquil is nothing more than an inanimate object that will resist possession. So by luring a spirit or demon to attempt to possess a Tranquil, the act of trying will bridge the gap between a Tranquil and the Fade and they will be cured.
- The Divine, as we know, is a close friend of Leliana and she is interested in reform for the mages. But traditions and many people who do not share that belief are in her way. In fact, she aids the mages in the book.
- The Seekers of Truth seems to be more complicated than we think. Apparently, some time during the twentieth year of the Divine Age, "the Nevarran Accord was signed [where] the Seekers of Truth lowered [their] banner to serve as the right hand of the Chantry and together, [they] created the Circle of Magi." The Seekers are led by a Lord Seeker and it seems like they are the "overarching" authority of Templars all over Thedas. The Lord Seeker seems to have dominion over all the Kight Commanders and is essentially their "boss". Confusingly, Leliana is also part of the Seekers as is Cassandra Pentaghast but they seem to be another "faction" of the Seekers more loyal to the Divine perhaps. I'm not entirely sure if these are two distinct organisations or factions within the same "Seeker".
- All the Circle of Magi in Thedas has rebelled. The Seekers, or at least those who control the Templars, have decided to declare the Nevarran Accord (above) null and void since there is no more Circle. They have also decided to divorce themselves from the Chantry seeing that the Divine helped the mages.
If you have any questions, just ask me. I'm too lazy to type a synopsis of the book =P
