Some safe place for the education and the magical research is very important (not necessarily in the same pace!), just as some anti-magical force to handle the powerful rogue mages. But not with non-mages only, because the mages have many anti-magical spells – without lyrium-addiction. The non-mages would be important in this force, because of the trust, and because the mages are rare. For the peace and the safety. I'm with Anders in this case: "A world where every mage can learn to use their gifts and still return home at night. Where no mother ever needs to hide her child… or lose him to the fear of his neighbours. Where magic is recognized as a gift of the Maker, not the curse it has become."And this: Anders: Where did you learn your magic? I mean, you know my feelings on the Circle, but usually, it's the only decent training a mage can get. Bethany: My father taught me. He was in the Circle once, trained there. But he got away. Anders: You don't know how lucky you were, to have someone who loved you and could help you. Most mages would kill for that. Bethany: You remind me of him. He hated the Circle – but considers the training is important. Well, Anders has internalised many of the Chantry's beliefs, as shown by his banters with Merrill. If mages want to set up schools for mages, that's fine, but I think the southern kingdoms are way past having any moral authority to say what mages should or shouldn't do. I'd not force any mage to be trained. It's not like a bad thing to be educated/trained. I see your concerns, of course, but in every society, the mages got some training – just because of the bad past, nobody can ignore the problem of an untrained mage. I voted to the College of Enchanters' maintained education – but I believe in the mandatory education. Yes, Anders has almost 20 years Circle-past, and even his parents were Andrastians. He has his limits, misbelief, and even prejudices – I never said he's perfect – but he's right about that the training is important – even if he's not right, about the Circle's the ONLY place where a mage can get a decent training.

Okay, how about these options....
Where do we put the mages?
- Nowhere, set them free! - Independant Circle, governed by themselves, with the right to leave after training. - A new circle run by the College of Enchanters, with the right to leave after training. - A reformed Circle, overseen by free Templars, with the right to leave after training. - A reformed Circle, overseen by free Templars, imprisoned for life. - In the classic Circle of DAO, run by Templars and the Chantry, imprisoned for life. - Made tranquil by law upon discovery - Put to the torch
Thoughts? Feel free to edit.

The mages deserve to be housed in a place separated so they can learn magic and what to do with demons, since your average Theosdian has nothing to worry about with magic.
If they can't handle the magic, or they choose to, they can be made Tranquil. Tranquility is an acceptable punishment for using forbidden magic like blood magic: Other crimes like murder should be resolved with execution.
After completing their training, mages may petition to leave. The First Enchanter and the Knight Commander must agree. Any mage who commits a crime while outside the Circle is subject to the law. Reasons to leave involve setting up businesses.
All courts should welcome having an arcane advisor.
No abuses (physical, sexual, or otherwise) is tolerated from anyone at the Circle. Any violations are met with appropriate punishment. Tranquility is a punishment reserved only for forbidden magic.

Tranquility is a punishment reserved only for forbidden magic. 1. Every average Theodosian has a chance to have a mage children/relatives – so every average Theodosian involved – it better if they realize. 2. The Tranquility must be banned (or remain as a final solution just as the execution, because it's equal), and the current Tranquils must be cured (this latter is debatable because of the Tranquil's will...) 3. Everyone must be free, including the apprentices – except the criminals. 4. It's fair. 5. So: what is the 'forbidden magic?" because if the blood magic, then who uses Phylactery is a criminal and deserves to be a tranquil/dead according to you – and who performs Joining ritual as well. Or you speak about another kind of forbidden magic? So: no. Good enough if the mind control, the torture and the murder etc similar stuff count as crimes.

Feel free to edit. I like it so far, probably doesn't need the independent option yet as we don't know the drawbacks of the College of Enchanters yet.

- A new circle run by the College of Enchanters, with the right to leave after training. - A reformed Circle, overseen by free Templars, with the right to leave after training. Both of these sound pretty good to me. But I'm leaning towards the second one to be honest. I think it would be better with the templars just in case.

No slaves, no normal folk, no chantry support, nothing. give them a taste of what REAL independence looks like .

No, Tranquility cannot be banned. And, as proven with Pharamond, curing them is dangerous. Tranquility is an effective punishment for forbidden magic. Free of what? A mage with no training is a danger, and they are not free to leave. You're putting countless people at risk for muh freedom. Any mage apprentice who runs must be killed. Blood magic for the use of controlling others is forbidden. The Joining is not forbidden because Grey Wardens are not subject to the laws of the Circle.

The Nevarran Accord existed because "after the first Blight, the Chantry recognized the mages’ value in helping protect humanity and so sought a better solution" – instead of hunting and killing them... So: they are "valuable". But the Isolationist would appreciate this idea.

Blood magic for the use of controlling others is forbidden. The Joining is not forbidden because Grey Wardens are not subject to the laws of the Circle. 1. That they can have mage relates – and this is normal. 2. What proved Pharamond? He didn't kill anyone, didn't hurt anyone, not even tried. He cried and laughed – because he suddenly flooded with emotions. But not even tried to hurt himself or everyone else or/and deal with a demon – when they said he will be a Tranquil again. So: what's your point? What about to killing/lobotomizing everyone, who seriously thinks about, that because of a potential danger (not even proved danger), anyone must be lobotomized... Because who seriously thinking about that is not a potential danger, but a real and serious danger... paranoid... perhaps, it's a mercy to lobotomize them... their life is a constant nightmare! And they're very unstable! Perhaps they will run amok and kill innocents!
So: the Tranquility must be banned (or remain as a final solution just as the execution, because it's equal), and the current Tranquils must be cured (this latter is debatable because of the Tranquil's will...) 3. They under the training. Nothing problem with they leave the school from time to time. 4. Okay, so: the blood magic isn't forbidden.

Children of non-mages are sent and adopted by mage families. That's... a little cruel. How? Mage children get a healthy family life while also getting trained from a young age to control their powers. Non-mage society gets mages out of the way to protect farmers, traders and every normal citizen from the risk of malevolent elements in the mage community, and the Chantry can finally turn it's attention to helping the poor instead of dealing with a pathetic war that no one but monsters will win. It is a win-win-win for all sides, where as all other options pose a risk/loss to some side of the issue. Also, the suggestion of a mage-only copunty was more of a joke in the first place, just forgot to put the sarcasm icon on.

With that I kind of agree and disagree at the same time (I'm a little weird lol). I don't think there's a perfect solution for the mages since, like you said, there will always be people who will be afraid and paranoid about magic, but I also think that they should try to change things and let the mages live a normal life just like any other non-mage, and give them the freedom to prove most of them aren't monsters, because if they don't, that will only lead to more resentment and hate which will be much worse in the long run.

jaerick243 Just a question: which country would give land to them, and why would? It was a joke, but I am not sure where it would be. Was originally thinking make a country out of the Dales, but who know where. Maybe Nevarra? that is close to Tevinter so maybe the mages will be willing to serve as a neutral zone between the magisters of Tevinter and southern thedas?

Realize what?
No, Tranquility cannot be banned. And, as proven with Pharamond, curing them is dangerous. Tranquility is an effective punishment for forbidden magic.
Free of what? A mage with no training is a danger, and they are not free to leave. You're putting countless people at risk for muh freedom. Any mage apprentice who runs must be killed.
Blood magic for the use of controlling others is forbidden. The Joining is not forbidden because Grey Wardens are not subject to the laws of the Circle. 1. That they can have mage relates – and this is normal. 2. What proved Pharamond? He didn't kill anyone, didn't hurt anyone, not even tried. He cried and laughed – because he suddenly flooded with emotions. But not even tried to hurt himself or everyone else or/and deal with a demon – when they said he will be a Tranquil again. So: what's your point? What about to killing/lobotomizing everyone, who seriously thinks about, that because of a potential danger (not even proved danger), anyone must be lobotomized... Because who seriously thinking about that is not a potential danger, but a real and serious danger... paranoid... perhaps, it's a mercy to lobotomize them... their life is a constant nightmare! And they're very unstable! Perhaps they will run amok and kill innocents!
So: the Tranquility must be banned (or remain as a final solution just as the execution, because it's equal), and the current Tranquils must be cured (this latter is debatable because of the Tranquil's will...) 3. They under the training. Nothing problem with they leave the school from time to time. 4. Okay, so: the blood magic isn't forbidden. 1.) Maybe it's your poor grasp of English, but I don't understand what the hell you're saying. Are you saying mages can have relatives? Yes, all people have relatives. That does not mean they should get to see them. Recall that the society of Thedas is heavily agrarian: People work long hours in the fields. 2.) Being overly emotional makes you not only vulnerable to demons, but actively draws them. Pharamond was too dangerous, everyone who isn't insane agrees. 3.) Again, mages can't be trusted with freedom unless they can prove themselves capable. Apprentices may not leave because they can't resist demons. 4.) No mage has a reason to study blood magic other than to control the minds of others. There is no need to use blood magic to power spells because the Circle has lyrium.

2. What proved Pharamond? He didn't kill anyone, didn't hurt anyone, not even tried. Um, yes he did. His actions killed an entire keep full of innocent civilians.

2. What proved Pharamond? He didn't kill anyone, didn't hurt anyone, not even tried. Um, yes he did. His actions killed an entire keep full of innocent civilians. He was possessed. In a very interesting mental state. I don't think, he was non compos mentis. Without emotion, you can't control yourself. Everything just easy. His task was to search a solution. There was no moral that restrained him. But the tranquillity is very safe isn't? I spoke about, that when he was "unstable"... What your proof, he will kill someone? If no proof, you can't tranquil him. If you want to be ethical. It's important for you, isn't?

So: you would agree to lobotomize the paranoid persons. Paranoia is dangerous, isn't? Remember Meredith and Loghain. 3. Paranoia. They able to resist the demons. 4. Paranoia. Blood magic has many other benefits (track magic and reveal a possession for example), not just mind control.

Blood magic has many other benefits (track magic and reveal a possession for example), not just mind control. 1.) The problem is poor usage of English. You need to please be clearer in your words. 2.) Meredith and Loghain do not attract demons, and their crimes are not related to use of magic: They are not mages. 3.) What makes them "able" to resist? The fact that you claim so doesn't make it so. We saw this full well with Uldred and all the mages in the Circle towers. And in DA2, as Hawke so aptly puts it "I'd like to go one week without meeting an insane mage." 4.) How does blood magic reveal a possession? Anders isn't a blood mage, and he could detect whether or not someone was possessed. And we're not certain if Merrill used a specific blood magic spell in order to detect and see if someone was possessed.
