Haha! I'll bite.

They have their own army, which is controlled by addicting them to a material that they have a monopoly on above ground.
Hmmm you need to prove that they do this to control them. From what I read, lyrium is needed for the templars to be better at what they do.
In fact, illegal lyrium smuggling has been done by Godwin of the Mages Circle. You get the supplier quest from Orzammar to send a lyrium shipment to Godwin. He then gives it to the Templars as a drug.
So at least one member of the Mages Circle has been proven to cause templars to be addicted, all for the sake of profit. But I don't see you saying the mages circle are the enemy.
They use this army to control the mages, which are one of the most powerful forces in this world.
Well having the most powerful force doesn't make you the enemy. Unlike Orlais who invaded the entire Ferelden, the Templars aren't used to start wars. They are used to protect the good people of Ferelden from apostate mages and abominations, which was what Uldred became and caused havoc in the Circle Tower.
Again, I question your selective judgement against the Chantry, when Loghain has been leading civil war, forcing people to submit to his rule.
They led a crusade against the Elves simply because they did not beleive in the same God(s) that they beleive in.
Many countries invaded many countries in the past. The Chantry has made mistakes in the past, and if other countries can be forgiven, surely you can find it in your heart to forgive the Chantry.
From what I could tell, it was more likely that Andraste was a mage. Not sure if there is any specific mention, but I did get that feel during my playthrough. The abundace of lyrium in and around that cavern containing the Urn seems add some validity to that.
I don't remember seeing lyrium in the chamber. I think there is more Lyrium at the Anvil of the Void, and we know for a fact that dwarves can't be mages. So the presence of lyrium is not proof that Andraste was a mage.
The presence of the Guard, who was one of the first disciples of Andraste, never indicated Andraste was a mage.
You were probably misled by the book you could gift to Wynne, which hinted that Andraste was a powerful mage. It's source seems dubious and cannot be trusted.
So tell me, why is it that we accept that this Maker (which, by the way, has not made an appearance to assist the good folks of this world) is a good entity ever though the Chantry lore says that the Maker in fact made the darkspawn as a punishment for man's sin. And seems to continue punishing this world for millenia in what seems to be overkill.
So, if anything I feel that the Chantry and and this Maker are the enemy. Anyone care to comment?
The Maker gave mankind a chance of redemption by sending Andraste, but because of the evil in man, they betrayed her and burnt her on the stake. Andraste was a sign of the Maker's existence, her miraculous ashes that could heal Arl Eamon is proof of his existence.
So if we don't even welcome Andraste with open arms but kill her instead, can you say we deserve to be forgiven? The Chantry says if we say the Chant to the corners of the world, the Maker will forgive us. Have we tried that?
And the Blight is the enemy. The Chantry are just humble people trying to help. No matter what evils you think of the Chantry, there are worse people out there. So to say the Chantry is evil simply because of the minor things you listed is a gross exaggeration.
Retour en haut
