When she intereferes with a duty that predates the founding of the chantry, when she intereferes with a duty that goes back to the ancient era.
Yes she is the antagonist, By aiding those mages she not only interefered with both the Seeker and Templar orders in their duties to guard mankind from magic she also enabled them to wage war upon the world.
Furthermore you clearly need to reread Asunder considering that it was a mage that lit the spark that ignited the powder keg and set the world ablaze.
She murdered the tranquil, not Lambert.
Whatever might have been the Templars' duty before the founding of the Chantry is irrelevant. The Templars are beholden to the Divine; as the woman ultimately in charge of the Templars, she cannot interfere with their duties; she is the one who defines what those duties are.
That's rather subjective considering Lambert annulled the accord for the reasoning that his vision of what those duties were didn't mesh with the divine's view.
Only after she became unworthy of leading the Templars and Seekers.
He didn't do it until she left him with little choice in the matter to do so.
It was either that or allow the mages free reign within Orlais and the rest of Thedas and it was obvious that the Divine wouldn't be marshalling the chantry together in any effort to combat them.
She threw them a bone and instead of dicussing what they were supposed to be in the conclave they spoke of insurrection and seccession. Then add in how Adrian murdered the tranquil, blamed rhyes for the deed and events unfold pretty much how i described.
Again Lambert was pretty reactionary the entire novel.
He didn't go very far out of his way to "oppress" mages. Only when they acted and when he was forced to react did he go to in my eye justifable steps to keep both the mages and common populace safe.
But once his ability to do that was compromised by being called away by the divine only to return during the escape attempt, what was he to think? His boss, the choosen of the Maker and leader of the chantry was aiding the mages in escaping, and when they proceded to gather and fortify their positions to the extent he needed to call forth every major contingent of templars in thedas to his banner, i can see the man having very little choice besides annulling the accord.
What was he to do? Let the Divine negoiate with the mages while they sat with their fortress presenting a threat to the entirity of Orlais? Let them possibly assault the nation it self? slaughter the people of the land?
