The Mages' Collective is a group of magi, comprising of both Apostates and Circle mages, that conspire to operate outside the restrictions and oversight of the Chantry and the Templars.
Background[]
It is described as a shadow-guild of sorts, wherein members can submit requests relating to either the practice of magic or something more mundane and have them seen to without judgement. This collective manages to work in relative secrecy, their members discreet and their clients anonymous. As of yet, this collective has seen no sanction from the templars, and there has been no sign that its members are practicing magic of which the Maker would not approve. Given the inherent danger in defying the Chantry (and thus risking being labeled an apostate or, worse, maleficarum), it is no surprise that dealing with the Mages' Collective can be risky (if profitable) business.
Involvement[]
Leliana's Song[]
Leliana may interact with the Collective by slaying some of their members and removing their wealth.
Dragon Age: Origins[]
There are several quests available through liaisons located in Denerim, Lake Calenhad, and Redcliffe Village.
Dragon Age: Inquisition[]
The Collective took it upon themselves to study rifts in the Veil. Your Trainer is sent to Skyhold to teach the Inquisitor the Rift Mage specialization, if they are a magi. If the Inquisitor becomes a rift mage, the collective later approaches the Inquisition for a copy of the results from the study. The note may be sent to the collective or the Inquisition may offer to train several collective members in rift magic directly at Skyhold, rather than letting potentially dangerous magical research circulate openly.
