Well happy is perhaps too big word but i wouldn't be devastated if get live that mages have for free they live like nobles doing nothing for most of their lifes i could have worse fate... and well if you give me that what mages got well i would agree goverment and society already imposes restrictions on me so if i will get presidential suite for that i won't cry
Mages don't live in presidential suites, man. They're crammed together in a barracks like sardines.
Tevinter only ever briefly reconquered a couple individual cities. Since Andraste's Exalted March, and even then they were able to do so with trickery, not force. Nevarra expanded in size and power beyond any individual city state in the Free Marches. Not the whole of them put together. In the Blessed Age, Nevarra tried to conquer the Free Marches but was stopped before even conquering Tantervale.
Nevarra has even grown much more since blessed age, with Orlais in chaos its the strongest nation in Thedas right now, not that that would have been a problem if Orlais was at its strongest, Nevarra is already rivaling Orlais in every aspect and then some. Nevarra will play a critical role in all this.
Also don't forget I was talking about right now, during Inquisition Free Marches is quite weak.

It's grown reportedly stronger in the last sixty or so years then?
I don't see that personally, Given its own line of dispute in the Monarchy i think they like the majority of Thedas will be too consumed in their own politics to bother with doing anything overt outside of their borders.

Who said they would act? I was talking about general strength of that nation. Also its more than sixty years as it was early ages of blessed age until right now in dragon age, not that sixty years is not enough. Also it was already as strong as Orlais in blessed age it has outgrown it now. They will not start a war with any nation least of all Orlais as they have same policies especially when it comes to chantry.
Shouldn't you like them Z? They are pro chantry too and in a good way.

No did you saw in what conditions they live at least mage rank and above in ferelden circle and in asunder orlesian circle is described as extremely luxurious so yep they have great lifes for free.So nope they aren't unless you count students which still have great conditions comparing to rest of thedas...

The Nevarran defeat by the Champion of Tantervale was after Nevarra's latest expansion. Also Your claim about the scale of Marcher poverty being greater than anywhere else or that 70% of the Free Marches strength is gone are baseless. Nevarra wasn't always the strongest city in the Free Marches. They left because they grew in strength. And even if they weren't, they are irrelevant to the original claim I was arguing against which is that Starkhaven isn't an important city, which it is. The codex only talks about it's opulence, not it's poverty.

The minor skirmish you cite as proof of them matching Orlais began in 8:70 blessed, over a patch of Hills, it wasn't an invasion that was defeated it was the retaking of a city the Empire founded anyway, Hence why when efforts to retake the city failed, Orlais turned to dissatisfied Nevarrans nobility. Given that if they were able to appeal to an Empire that had been outsted three centuries prior to their own Monarchy, Clearly they weren't as united as many would have you believe.
Point being Nevarra like most Nations in Thedas has its own political issues, Oh and The current timeline in DAI is likely to be within 9:41 so yes its been roughly sixty plus Years since their prior exchange.
I don't mind Nevarra, I am pleased we will likely be able to travel there, i am just pointing out that rallying the Freemarches to retake Nevarra from Orlais isn't the same as a single Nation being able to match them, Given that the one time we have had Neverra fighting alone against Orlais for their Nation, such as the case in 3:25 Towers, Orlais promptly defeated them.
Wasn't there a theory that the expansion pac for DA2 would be implemented in DAI? If so, that would be a prime place to encounter Sebastian.
Not certain if that is really the case, as it was theorized a while back, but it is possible.
And there is the possibility of us going to Nevarra in relation to the battle over succession in Cassandra's family.
The developers said they would include some elements from the 'Exalted March' expansion in Inquisition, and the Free Marches is a region that the player is supposed to be able to explore.
As for the struggle over the throne of Nevarra, I wonder who the contenders would be.

I have no idea as I don't expect Cassandra to suddenly leave her post as seeker and member of the inquisition to rule Nevarra.
Either Van Markhams or Pentaghasts according to WoT with Ferdinand Pentaghast having the strongest claim. He is brother to current king and a former famous dragon hunter, though he has declared no interest in politics..though interestingly enough is an expert on the uses of dragon's blood.

Possible Reaver then? That would be awesome i think.
A few were able to hold it together and not go insane after all, Even non PC special snow flakes 
I don't know that Macedonia is the best allegory. For one, I don't really understand why Macedonia isn't considered Greek. They took part in Greek conflicts and worshiped Greek gods. I'm not a historian though, so I'll admit ignorance.
The other reason is that from my understanding Macedonia was certainly much less powerful than Athens, Sparta and Thebes were pre-Peloponnesian War.
Those differences pointed out there Ate some other interesting similarities I mentioned. While other city-states in Greece adopted democracy or oligarchies, Macedon more or less maintained a successional monarchy. I realize Starkhaven is a monarchy, but Kirkwall felt much more like a theocracy tainted oligarchy to me.
Simply because Macedon didn't consider themselves as such but a separate entity.

Nevarra has its own issues what with its succession issues and possible civil war between the penderghasts and Van Markhams.

I'm okay with Seb if he's finally decided to put out.
Put out or get out, I always say.
In all honesty Sebastians abstinence was refreshing in the DA world an I found it endearing. Not that I ever wanted to romance him, more I appreciated his piety.

About time we got devout man in the party, just saying.
Plus Bethany's reaction to sebby in Mark of the Assassin was worth the hassle of romancing in and of it self
He seems less entitled than most nobles too. His "waffling" was him wanting to do the right thing.
I hope he turns up at some point, i hate finding out former companions have died or something. I'm not really concerned about what part he could play politically in the story though, i didn't buy his DLC for that.
**** Sebastian, if the opportunity presents itself I'll make sure Sebastian's head is mounted on the wall of the inquisition HQ.....
I hope Sebastian comes back, I liked him more than Varric,

Anders is devout. As is Merrill. And Zevran, apparently. Not to mention Leliana. And Velanna, and Bethany. In fact, there's really no shortage of devout people.

Sten, "No".
They are religious maybe, they aren't devout.
There is a difference. I am religious but would never categorize myself as devout.
Lelianna I will give you but not the others.
Oh, thanks for reminding me: Sten is devout. I would also argue that Anders and Bethany are, at the very least.

If Anders was devout, he wouldn't question the Chantry's stance on magic and would in no way be capable of blowing up the chantry.
As the original comment was referring specifically to a guy, Bethany and Leliana don't apply.
Qunari don't have a religion, they have a belief system.
Devout to his interpretation, not necessarily to the prevailing religious authority. Otherwise, you'd have to argue that, say, Martin Luther wasn't devout.
The Qun also seems to incorporate strong superstitious elements, like that of tools containing souls.
