The Senior Mage Quarters is the second level of the Circle Tower. Full members of the Circle of Magi reside here; the First Enchanter's office is also located on this floor.
Involvement[]
This level of the Circle Tower is accessed during the Magi Origin. Duncan breaks into First Enchanter Remille's room in the Senior Mage Quarters while Remille is giving speech to assembled Circle mages, Templars and Grey Wardens and steals a unique obsidian dagger from his belongings.
During the events of Broken Circle, the Warden reaches the second level where they meet Owain, one of the Tranquil working at the Tower. He gives the Warden some additional information about what is happening and what to do. The Warden also encounters three blood mages who attack on sight. Afterwards one will beg for their life. It's the Warden's choice to either kill her or let her go.
