Given that Elven Templars were confirmed to be a possibility/ Exist via Comment by Gaider I was wondering if folks were interested in the possibility of encountering one, fighting them or even possibly having one as a companion given that that some of the companion art work was depicting Templar armor.
I'd say the perspective of an Elven Templar would be something fairly unique and interesting among the various other perspectives that will no doubt be present in the game.
Well Discuss!
I could see that being interesting.
I don't believe there have been any elven templars in any of the games, or books/comics.
Though I haven't read all the books/comics.
We haven't seen them, but as a few posters pointed out, they do exist. There isn't a law that states an elf can't become a Templar. I personally love this idea! It would give the writers a chance to both explore more about the city elves (sorry, I can't see a Dalish Templar) as well as less crazy members of the Templar Order.

They haven't been present as of yet, but as i said via comment Gaider confirmed they can exist given that Evangeline (Female Templar in the book Asunder) nearly was one 
And personally i'd be immensely interested in their perspective.
While they can exist. I don't know, I just can't imagine it.

The BlackStone Irregulars recruited an Elven Mercenary, Most Elves that are warriors in organizations and armies are treated more or less as Human, this would be one such facet for such a person.
I'm just pointing it out, it likely wouldn't be for all elves given it requires a fairly unique and comprehensive skill set (being a warrior)
In some nations, it might even be considered a valid method for an Elven family to move out of the Alienage.
That would be nice, but I wonder if the other elves would still have respect to a Templar Elf?
I'd think an elven templar would look kinda funny, if the one we meet is as skinny as the elves we've had as companions/random NPCs/PCs.
Memories of heavy armor on my female elf AW... *shudders*

I can see an Elven mercenary but not an Elven Templar, it's a little different lol.
I'm not opposed to it, I just think it'd be weird.
That would be interesting to say the least. If we do have a elf templar companion that would make for interesting conversation, especially if you are a Dalish elf Inquisitor.

It would be interesting to find out. I suspect reactions would be mixed, but along class lines rather than religious ones.
And imagine how the Dalish would feel? It'd definitely be interesting to see, and something I'd enjoy playing.
I'd imagine so. It might make them more loyal to the order, for getting them out of poverty.In some nations, it might even be considered a valid method for an Elven family to move out of the Alienage.
If I was Divine, the very first thing I would do would be to give incentives for elves and surface dwarves to join the Templars.
You figure having the good will and being the meal ticket of the commoners would only do things right?
Haven't ancient elves had something similar, or was it just a fanfiction? Can't seem to find it now.

Elf templars would be more effective at their jobs. They have a higher magical capacity and stronger wills.

It'd definitely open up a whole slew of social perspectives and discussions.
Elven culture was once so heavy in magic before it was swallowed up by the bigger human mage culture (Tevinter) then demonized by the bigger anti-mage human culture (Andrastianism), so why turn against your heritage? The Chantry oppresses and exploits mages in Circles just as it oppresses and exploits elves in alienages, so why serve the Chantry that keeps your people in working poverty? The elves as a culture are more community-oriented than humans, so why break from your people to work for/be more like humans?
Which can open the discussion that elven culture =/= elven individual, more elves can live better if they take more prestigious "human jobs," elves doing well in human positions can slowly help to change the way humans see elves (though I think this argument is BS because it places the burden of change on the minority's shoulders when the majority have power to make change... but it's a perspective many people have in and out of the games), etc.
Then that can open up the discussion of why does an elf have to separate from the elven community/culture to be socially and financially well off? Why does "being elven" and being socially and financially well-off have to be mutually exclusive? Why do elves have to live and act like humans for humans to see them as worthwhile?
I would love some of these issues to be discussed in game. I doubt BioWare would cover it with a Templar elf (who'll probably be just like Fenris and sneer at his/her people), but it would be nice.
The Dales had, hmm, the Emerald Order, I think? Lob will remember the exact name.
The Dalish are a whole different kettle of fish. It's one thing to give up your cultural identity and live among the Shems for perceived security, quite another to join the military arm of the Organization that led the destruction of the Dales and the current status of the Dalish as unwelcome wanderers. Master Ilen would be unable to form a coherent sentence if an Elven Templar showed up.And imagine how the Dalish would feel? It'd definitely be interesting to see, and something I'd enjoy playing.
Thank you, sir.The Emerald Knights.

Gimme one. I would love such a companion.
