Ah, I see.
I havent read Asunder, so I only know the basics.
Well, Barquiel is missing much information.
The Divine commissioned research into the Rite of Tranquility and ordered Wynne to do whatever was necessary to make sure information regarding any results that were produced spread to all Circles before Lambert could supress it.
She did so and the Divine agreed to call a conclave of all First Enchanters to determine what was to be done with the Rite.
Before the conclave, Adrian tried to convince Rhys to convince Wynne to vote for war. Rhys thinks to himself that it is typical of Adrian to send others to do the dirty work while she reaps the fruits of the labor and refuses.
During the conclave, Fiona immediately hijacks it by proposing a vote for the separation of the Circles which was not the matter on table. Then, before the vote can be cast, Lambert marches in, accuses Rhys of murdering Pharamont and dozens other mages (the mage who discovered how to reverse Tranquility) for a bloody knife was found under his bed and demands the conclave cease because they were suggesting treason.
The mages refuse on both accounts and Lambert orders the Templars detain them.
During the fight one First Enchanter tried to surrender but is accidentally killed (and the books goes to length to explain the Templar who ran her through and young and had expected her to defend herself) and then both mages and Templars begin fighting to kill.
The Templars win and Lambert captures them but does not execute or Tranquilise a single one. Rather, he explain his theory to Rhys. That Cole had been mind controlling Rhys to commit the murders which, as it turns out, was absolutely true. The only murder he was innocent of was Pharamond's because that one had been committed by Adrian who then framed Rhys.
Afterwards, the Divine coordinates a "rescue" efforts in which many Templars are killed. The Divine! Killing Templars!
So, perhaps telling her to see how she'd fare without Templars was the right thing to do.
