Well, here are my two cents.

 

I don't think that The Chatry is right when it comes to the Golden/Black City. When it comes to the actual creator of the world,of The Fade, the material world and all the more or less demigod entities, to whom I will refer as The Great Anonym, I don't think that his existance will ever be proven or disproven. He'll remain just that, a anonym whos role will never be discovered. The Great Anonym will always remain a mystery. We might get hints regarding his existance, but we'll never be given a straight answer. 

 

When it comes to The Golden/Black City, I don't think that is was the actual home of The Maker and that it was ever golden. I actually think it was always black and it's actually a prison for the dark entity/entities that are the source of The Taint.

 

When it comes to The Veil, I think that it is mentained by the Old Gods. The Seven Old Gods are something like the Seven Seals Of The Apocalypse and they keep The Veil to up and going to protect the physical world from the dark force that lies in The Black Prison / City and to also mentain it locked in there.

 

As for Fen'Harel, I don't think that he's a bad guy or a trickster. I think that he's a force of balance and did what he had to do to protect the world and the lesser beings from the conflict of the other god-like entities that fought for power and, in their war, threatened to destroy everything.

 

Of course he got a bad reputation because he imprisoned and or/banished the deities to whom the elves prayed, but I actually think that he's the sole reason why the world is still intact and that he's the closest thing Thedas has to a Maker, but he's more of a Savior than a Maker...oh, and he's a friend of the dragons :P   

Stinks of Midkemia and the god Ban-ath tbh, not that that is a bad thing

The maker is secretly not real.

 

I think the Maker is probably real. Whether it is a god or just an extremely powerful Fade entity being worshipped as one, is the question.

For the time before Corypheus and friends breached the Golden city it looked Golden from the outside, Turing the black we know and loath afterwards. It could be a city sized Pandora's box, first releasing great evil, then a smaller box releases greater good.

Is there something that says the black city is the golden city and not just some other different city?

My thoughts exactly, and I am of the opinion it is the latter, which leaves me personally at the question "Well, if the maker is a fake god, is there a real god?". This is where I think the Chantry comes in, in reality they are worshiping the work of an extremely power fade (or beyond the fade) entity. At the same time they are worshiping a deistic god who is absent, so just like the reincarnated Andraste cult (see Kolgrim), except on a larger scaled perspective, the chantry has replaced the true god (assuming one exists in Dragon Age) with a false god. In other words they are worshiping two separate things, the work of a fade entity of which they attribute to the "Maker", and the Maker himself (a creator).

How about the Maker is real? and is some kind of new god vs old gods?, you know, ockham´s razor.

 

I don´t really care what the Maker is, but the chantry is mostly a good thing, so he can stay where he is.

The Inquisitor is the maker, that's the twist. Or should that be the other way around.
