Seekers of Truth

The Seekers of Truth is an Andrastian order that answers directly to the Divine in Val Royeaux.

The organization appears to act as a check and balance to the power of the Templar Order, acting in a secretive, investigative and interrogative capacity to root out corruption and protect the Chantry from internal and external threats. They also may become involved in the hunting of particularly cunning apostates. Templars fear and despise the seekers, as they must usually involve themselves when the templars are failing in their duties.

History
The Seekers of Truth and the Templar Order were once known as the Inquisition, a group of people who were fighting against dark magic after the First Blight. When the Chantry arose, the Andrastian organization convinced the Inquisition to unite under the banner of their common faith.

In the twentieth year of the Divine Age, the Seekers of Truth and the Chantry came to an agreement known as the Nevarran Accord: the Seekers acknowledge the Chantry's authority and agree to serve as their agents. The two organizations created the Circle of Magi.

Dragon Age II
In the framing story for Dragon Age II, the Seekers have captured the dwarf Varric in the hopes of learning more about Hawke, the Champion of Kirkwall to put an end to the current world-spanning war. They also appear to be interested in the Warden as well.

Dragon Age: Asunder
With the dissolution of the Circle of Magi, Lord Seeker Lambert has declared the Nevarran Accord null and void in 9:40 Dragon.
