Including, of course, the Qunari. The Arishok in DA2 stepped outside his role, had no authority/permission to try to take over the city, and wonder of wonders, in Trespasser, gee, the Viddasala went off the reservation to do her own thing too, as seen in a codex note where Josephine ASKS the Qunari leadership WTF is going on, and they tell her, that even AFTER they lost the dreadnaught, they have no current interest in working with OR against the Inqusition. Still never going to let the Chargers die though.

I still have a hard believing Josephine was able to send a letter all the way to Par Vollen, have the actual triumvirate respond, and then have the response relayed back to the Winter Palace in the span of a day. Unless message crystals/eluvians were used that should physically be impossible shouldn't it?

I always let the Chargers die. And by extension Iron Bull.
Good times.

I think it is clear from what Varric told us about the Triumvirate's response to the Arishok's action that they say what they think is necessary to appease the other side but I wouldn't believe a word they say. Had the Arishok successfully taken over Kirkwall, the Qunari leadership would have backed him to the hilt; but he didn't so they disowned him.
The Viddasala may have gone off brief in tanking up the Saarebas with lyrium but the rest of the plan was authorised. There would have been no point in setting up the dragons breath throughout southern Thedas, ready to blow the leadership of various nations to pieces, if the armies of the Qunari weren't all prepared to follow through on it. She was telling the truth when she says they had decided to take action the moment the mages situation got out of hand and the sky opened up. Naturally they helped the Inquisition in defeating Corypheus because they didn't want him to succeed, but thereafter the plan was blow up the leadership and while all the nations were in leaderless chaos, invade and take them over. What she calls the "gentle path" because the majority of people would be able to be conquered without much bloodshed (or so she believes), probably just a liberal dose of re-education.
However, as with the Arishok, when the plan fell apart and she was discovered, they immediately disowned her in order to maintain the peace treaty with the southern nations and directed their primed for war armies against Tevinter instead. If you sacrifice the Chargers in favour of an alliance with the Qunari, then the epilogue screen says they even have the cheek to try and get the Divine to aid them in their fight against Tevinter.
