Indeed, I honestly do apologize for the mixup I caused here. I know of Dragon Age from Origins but I didn't know the full scope of this canon.

In all truth, Final Fantasy in general has such a lapse view on Magic and Religion, that I just didn't realize how progressive Alayre was as a character. Had I known four months ago, I honestly would've done things quite different just to make certain he's playing by the books. While Alayre is indeed very progressive in his views, he wouldn't hold much sway amongst other Templars who still follow the Chantry. That means that most of his progressive views wouldn't be widely known or grately accepted.

I was under the impression that Templars who join the Inquisition would no longer be bound by the Chantry. That's not the case here even though the game itself does give the Inquistor the option of recruiting Templars under that premise. Since the Templars are still tethered to the Chantry, Alayre honestly won't be able to do anything substantial here in this short amount of time.

He would be lucky just to get Templars to stop senselessly beating mages. That's probably the best he could honestly do right now.

I'm eating a ton of crow today, so I'm just going to leave my apology here.
