I understand that this is a hot button issue but its time we had a talk about the less emotional side of the Mage Templar issue.... That the Mages and Templars are two sides of a coin that need each other.

Templars are not only meant to watch the mages, they are their protectors aswell. The Templars protect mages not only from the threat of religious fanatics, but Templars also serve to protect the mages should abominations or blood mages come knocking. The Harrowing is a trial by fire, but so is combat in general now isn't it?

Andraste was not against mages, just Tevinter and blood magic. Mages are unfortunately highly dangerous individuals. Their powers are in themselves dangerous. They are not inherently evil, simply dangerous. And, the people who do not posses this gift are suspicious, probably reasonably so. To say "The mages should be free!" is like saying that guns should be everywhere. It's an idiotic notion, but the virtue of freedom is a dear one to the Western world (perhaps others as well, simply speaking from experience)

Safety and Freedom are brothers, inseparable and constantly vying for power. Both are necessary for a health, viable, non-oppressive society.

The Circle was the best solution, and while they have been dissolved, they were the only workable solution and best protected the freedom and the lives of the majority and taught the mages how to control the immense power at their disposal'

I suppose the point is.........

WHY CANT WE ALL GET ALONG!

Relax people.

I encourage people to at least be respectful that others will have different perspectives on where "middle" is and to facilitate a respectful discussion instead of an adversarial one.


EDIT: Despite it's placement, I just want to make it clear to you Qistina that your recent posts are fine in this regard.  It's more a general comment to the last few pages of the thread.

Keep in mind that the templars left with the Chantry priests before all the villagers did, such as Hawke.

Keep in mind that you're hearing character recounts and talks (and all the inaccuracies that can come with that).

I'm uncertain what would motivate Hawke to misrepresent something that happened in Lothering in a question where she seeks to uncover information about why this templar is here. And I find it unlikely that she could simply have overlooked templars staying behind, as they're quite visible, especially if they're being defensive and watchful.

When did Hawke leave relative to the Templars? Further, was Hawke visible enough for the Templars to still even know the Hawke family was still there?

Was Hawke the outlier?
