I mean Giselle makes a big deal about hanging up our swords once all this is done and I agree with her since the whole point of the Inquisition was simply to stop Corypheus, but now its just too big: Armies to rival nations, a figurehead to equal Kings and Empresses, (possibly) the support of the new Divine etc etc. And depending on the endings some of the monarchs like Celene or Gaspard could be outright reliant on your support, and that's not even mentioning the soldiers, traders etc etc that work for you and are going to be laid off when you call it quits. 

So yeah, is there any way to avoid it being too big to topple? My Travelyan wants to retire now, maybe take up mercenary work to support himself or serve the Chantry more faithfully; I heard the Right Hand position is open

Doesn't look like it.But the inquisition is not just your character, it's all these other people. You could just say that they took over for you. But mercenary work after being the inquisitor?...Eh, alright.

Of course there isn't a way to disband the Inquisition - there's still DLC to produce!

 

Joking aside, this is honestly part of why I'm thinking that most if not all Inquisition DLC will, while maybe being accessible at any point in the game, play best post-endgame, like how for ME2, Lair of the Shadow Broker/Arrival play almost more as post-Suicide Mission events, even though you can play either of them as early as after Horizon. Because this is going to be a serious thing - bringing back the Inquisition was in reaction to the mage-templar war, the Breach, and then Corypheus. Now that all of these things are resolved, clean up aside, what is the fate of the Inquisition going to be? Before we can have a Dragon Age 4, we need to resolve the issue of this really powerful organization in southern Thedas and what will become of it.

 

So I'm pretty sure that this is going to be something lingering through any DLC campaigns.

[Above Good and Evil]

Why not? I already kill people by the truckloads, why not get paid for it too?

[Ser Kilroy]

I don't believe so.

I think believe the inquistion is done yet, there are still fade rifts and demon in other countries after that is done it should be disbanded

[Mims]

I believe the game makes a point of saying that the Inquisition is now one of the major sources of power [and order] in the area. That means that the Inquisition can't disband even if it wanted to, not without throwing everything into turmoil. 

[Above Good and Evil]

Yes, but what will the Inquisition DO? Its a massive organization with nothing to fight. I'd rather disband before I wear out my welcome.

[Rekkampum]

Hmm. This is a good question. I honestly hope it doesn't disband; I think it's impossible at this point, given the kind of political and social relevance it's attained.

This Inquisition was built on the idea of the Inquisition of old. Back then the Inquisition didn't exist just to face any singular threat but rather to serve as a multinational third party group to help address threats and settle problems, think of them as like the Justice League of Thedas. The Inquisition are equal parts peacekeepers, judges and investigators; I can foresee many uses for such a group in such troubling times.

With or without the Inquisitor (and by extension, the player), the group now exists as a vehicle for change in southern Thedas.  So through the Inquisition, the writers can now make broad changes to the political landscape of these nations, presumably while we are in northern Thedas for the sequel, or perhaps even earlier depending on what happens in the next set of novels and comics.  Unlike the Grey Wardens, Seekers, and Templars, this new force holds no allegiance to anyone but themselves, and so this will allow them the freedom to basically do whatever the writers want them to do in the future without stretching credulity... well, past the initial point of the various nations even allowing such a powerful and fully independent group to arise in the first place, but I suppose we're long past that now.

[Precursor Meta]

The first inquisition were The Seekers of Truth who then disbanded, were absorbed into the Chantry and became the Templar order.

The Circles are reinstated and the chantry returns to power by the end of the game. The inquisition has no group to dissolve into. It's officially its own beast and are influential enough to "shake kingdoms" - Morrigan's words, not mines.

I don't think they're going anywhere no time soon, but that's not what concerns me. My concern is that its head has a mark on his/her hand that allows them to enter the fade physically (Tevinter must be reveling in jealously)

No doubt that fact alone will cause more than its fair share of problems. If we had the option to disband the inquisition at the end, I would. It's the responsible thing to do.

[Kulyok]

I really wish I could disband it, yeah. Maybe after the last DLC? Anyway, I tried to do everything so the Inquisition wouldn't be so harmful to the world: I chose Josephine for nearly every War Table operation and perk, so in the end nobles solve their own problems and the Inquisition just poses as a mediator; freed the mages, allowed everyone in the new Chantry, exiled the Wardens, disbanded the Seekers and destroyed the Red Templars, restored stability in Orlais and concluded the peace talks with Ferelden, so... really, I don't see the need for the Inquisition to continue. And I do not believe it's a great idea to make our characters prisoners of the Inquisition post-all-DLCs against our will. Hope it won't happen.

[Gab]

Whether the Inquisitor carries on or not, the Inquisition is too big to disband now. There is always some new threat in the area, that needs a neutral power to get involved with. Apart from a few scraps early on, the Inquisition seemed to be full of templars or mages who were more moderate in their view of the world and what was going on. By the end, they have pretty much turned into the United Nations. In some playthroughs, even the Qunari are allies now. Disbanding a group that would have input from, and influence on, so many different groups, after all that has happened, would be madness.

[Thane4Ever]

It would be interesting once they release the final DLC or expansion if you could choose to step down from the Inquisition or remain with it.  Or if someone will challenge you as Morrigan hints during the post-game cards.

[The Closet Geek]

Well, I can't see the Inquisitor just dusting off their hands and saying "That's it! We're done, everyone go home now!".  As others have said, the Inquisition's a major power in Thedas now; Orlais and the Chantry are probably still shaky, stability-wise, and there will still be rifts to close and demons to kill. 

 

I suspect that closing the rifts will be a lifelong job for the Inquisitor; there's wartable banter that suggests there's quite a few rifts that have popped up outside the Inquisition's reach.  Likewise, I suspect that dealing with red lyrium is going to be a problem for generations at least.

 

I can see the Inquisition winding down over a period of years, or even a couple of decades.  Without the threat of Corypheus and the war in Orlais, there's less need for a standing army, so recruitment will fall down the list of priorities, meaning a gradual contraction of Inquisition forces as soldiers retire/leave/are killed/injured.  Eventually it'll stabilise as a much smaller force, not meant to fight wars but accompany the Inquisitor to rifts, deal with red lyruim deposits, hold a few key forts etc.  I can see Griffon Wing Keep and the Western Approach being abandoned not long after the game ends; without threat of the Venatori and the Wardens what point is there in keeping troops in such an isolated location?

 

It's trickier to predict what will happen on the diplomatic and spycraft side.  You'd want to keep an eye on things for a while, make sure nothing's going to blow up in your face, but once Orlais and the Chantry are back on their feet, at what point are you just sticking your nose in to make yourself relevant?

 

Likewise, I can see the Inquisition being a neutral power broker for some time, the organisation people go to when they can't sort out disagreements among themselves.  But as their forces contract and the memory of Corypheus fades - which will happen faster in the north than it will in Orlais and Fereldan - they'll be considered more and more irrelevant and people won't listen to them anymore.

 

TL;DR: the Inquisition won't just disband post-game but it will probably fade into irrelevance over the course of 10-20 years, unless the Inquisitor gets ambitious and actively seeks power for power's sake.

[Obadiah]

The Inquisition is the protection program for all those witnesses against the Orlesian nobility after Wicked Eyes Wicked Hearts. Once the Inquisition disbands, all of its enemies will pounce on you and them.

[SgtSteel91]

There's still Fade Rifts to close and damage that needs to be cleaned up from Corypheus. Not to mention any Red Templars or Venatori that you didn't destroy (especially if you didn't ally with the Qunari or mess up the mission chain, in which case the Venatori's spy network may still be active). On top of that any of the New Divine enrages people (even Cassandra, who some complain her reforms go too far) so you gotta deal with them and make sure the Divine you've allied to (and the ruler of Orlais for that matter) isn't overthrown. And on top of all that, the epilogue says that you've made enemies, known and unknown, and they are lining up to take you out.

 

tl;dr

 

Justinia let the genie out of the bottle and the Inquisition has become very influential. It's not just going to 'put down its sword' whether you like it or not, cause no one is going to let you.

[Kinsz]

ill keep my inquisition ty very much , its DA there will always be new threats to face.

[veeia]

No, you created the monster, deal with it.

Read someone wondering if maybe eventually your character will be pushed out of power and the Inquisition will be a villainous group. Don't see Bio doing it, but lmao damn if it doesn't seem like something that would realistically happen.

[Kinsz]

Its funny  because the previous Inquisitor felt the same as you OP , he left the organization and spent his time hunting dragons according to a codex , no one knew what happened to him , it turns out he was killed/eaten by the dragon in the Emerald Grave , at least thats what it looked like given you get his helmet as a drop when you kill that Dragon.

[Augustei]

Bah, My Inquisitor isn't interested in retireing, He made that pretty clear throughout the game when asked in regards to it.
He see's 2 options: He keeps expanding his power and influence to the edges of the continent or he dies, Preferably the first one =P
And any fool that tries to bring him down will rue the day they attempted such foolishness.
