Some move to reinstate the Circles, now that the rebellion is over. Others feel mages deserve equal rights. In other parts of Thedas, outside of the Tevinter Imperium, if one is discovered to be a mage, typically, they're stripped of all rank and are unable to hold political office. The Chantry teaches "Magic is to serve Man, never to Rule over him." In the south, they interpret that tenet rather...dogmatically, or they did before the mage rebellion. In Tevinter, some feel that means we should rule, as to do so is "serving the people". I don't believe either is correct. Needless to say, I have few friends. Still, I would rather few friends and a clear conscience.
