Interviews says the Chantry splinter into various groups, so expect all of them but one or two to be evil extremists...
I think it wont be as black and white as having a Chantry faction be evil. It could be a group who is in the best position to help stabilise Thedas and protect against external threats but has the most extreme views, compared to a moderate faction who wants to unite all different groups but leaves the nations weak and unprepared for outside dangers.
David wouldn't do that to us. He wouldn't.Also Anora and/or Alistair.
This this being a meeting for the mage and templar war, I don't think any of our rulers of Orlais/Ferelden will be there. It would make the plot-lines of too many "get these people to side with you" missions too similar, if rulers of nations were there and also were killed.
If the Divine is there, and dies....I hope we at least get to meet/see her first. It would be lame for us to have heard so much about her and never see her alive. Makes her almost pointless.
I think they revealed too much in this interview.
I have a similar feeling. At the very least, I've been expecting an Origin length bit leading up to the explosion, preferably with unique quest lines for each background. There needs to be some character establishment before they launch us into the save the world thing.If the Divine is there, and dies....I hope we at least get to meet/see her first.

The meeting is clearly stated as being between the rebel mages and the Chantry. I see no reason why people would even think Alistair/Anora would be there.

Well, you can meet her, briefly, in DAO's Leliana's Song DLC.
Though she wasn't Divine Justina yet, she was still Revered Mother Dorothea 
I had already hoped there would be some way we could make Leliana the new head of the Chantry, certainly if the current head gets killed that would make it even easier, since as one of her top assistants she would be a natural to take over for her. This is indeed quite the spoiler, but if you recall they provided a pretty major spoiler about DAO long before the game was released (that Loghain betrays the Wardens at Ostagar) so this isn't the first time something major has been revealed earlier than you'd expect. Looking forward to finding out more!
Um, not quite how it would work I would think. First, Leliana is meant to be Dorothea's agent behind the scenes. She's not well known and certainly not by her real name. Second, Leliana isn't a priest, she's only a sister. Monks don't become popes, generally you already have to have some influence and at least be an ordained member of the priesthood before you're chosen to become the head priest.I had already hoped there would be some way we could make Leliana the new head of the Chantry, certainly if the current head gets killed that would make it even easier, since as one of her top assistants she would be a natural to take over for her.

What I got from the article is that the meeting is being held in the temple where we found the sacred ashes in DAO. If it is being held in Fereldan and the Devine was personally at the meeting then I could see either Alistair or Anora being there as well to mediate the groups and to be in charge of the security.
The game sounds awesome come on Oct 7th can`t wait .

I hope not. Let Teagan and Eamon be there in their place or something.
I really hope Celene and Gaspard don't die. It would feel like a waste of all the set up in the novel. Plus I remember Mark Darrah (or someone) mentioning the Inquisitor would be meeting "heads of state".
Cameron Lee said the meeting was between the heads of the Mages and the Chantry, he never mentioned the Templars so it could mean that Lambert if was alive at the time might not of been there.
On the new Dragon Age website there's an option to "explore the map", on which there are markers explaining some stuff about Dragon Age (e.g. how the Warden defeated the Blight, how Hawke fought Corypheus, etc). One of these markers explains that Lambert is missing, presumed dead.

But Mike Laidlaw said the leaders of the faction in the civil war were killed. He probably misspoke, but still...

The Chantry is evil, the various factions will have different degrees of honesty about it is all.
I'm starting to wonder if Warden/Hawke (and/or really) will be at the summit.
Would that upset you guys if they were and they, well, perished?
So Rhys and Fiona could be dead too? Bummer.
Yeah, Justinia being dead is pretty much a given, which is a shame, but I can deal with that.
But when I realised that the same most likely goes for Fiona, I was devastated. Not Alimommy! 
And to make matters worse, I can already see Adrian using that chance for a power grab. How am I supposed to root for the mages with that ... she-hound leading it?

The interview explicitly states it being peace talks about the Mage Rebellion. Removing those leaders obviously further incites that conflict, which the ominous background puppet master behind the Tear surely likes.
Celene and Gaspard being out of the picture however, would eradicate the whole Civil War plot, as then the Orlesian nobles would just go back to the Game to determine the next emperor or empress, so I can't imagine that all the faction leaders are gone after the beginning of the game.
Rhys death could explain Cole joining the Inquisition, sadly.

That's pretty much the main reason why I figured he could be at the meeting. I could also see a sort-of civil war or dispute with the mages about what path to take the mages in the future such as a more militant way like Adrian could represent or a more diplomatic path represented by someone else (Rhys if he doesn't die?)

I do think we need to keep Celene and Gaspard alive and for them to be important characters in the game, they both bring a lot to the conflict and are both characters that I could see myself agreeing with.
It will be a shame if Justina is dead because I liked her character and thought we never saw enough of her, as Reznore57 said she is a bit too much like Celene and I think she could end up overlapping.
I don't know where I stand with Fiona and Rhys I liked their characters but think it could add to the story if they were both killed off.
