The templars are the militant arm of the Chantry, watching over the mages in the Circles of Magi and hunting down apostates and blood mages who threaten Thedas. The mages and templars have been at war since Kirkwall’s cathedral was destroyed by the apostate Anders.
A group of templars recently tracked down nine rebellious mages, each of which hasuttered a quote. The quotes are broken into groups of three letters (sometimes fewer at the end of a quote). The numbers show the lengths of words in the quotes. Searching the web for the exact quote will reveal the name of the mage who spoke it. The first letters, in order, from the names of the quoted mages spell out the answer.
