Upon arrival at the Circle of Magicians on Calenhad Lake, it will become known that the tower has been captured by the possessed and demons. Knight Commander Gregor intends to use against the Circle, and a messenger has already been sent to Denerim. He locked the tower's great doors until he received reinforcements, but promised that the templars would help in the fight against the Blight if all the mages of the Circle died and the tower was cleansed of demons and possessed. The conflict between mages and templars in Dragon Age: Origins can be settled amicably. To do this, you need to climb to the top of the tower and, which turned into a monster. In battle, it is necessary to use the Litany of Adralla, taken from the body of the magician Niall after being released from the captivity of the demon of idleness in the Fade. The decision made on the Circle of Mages will affect who will be in the role of an ally in the final battle with the archdemon. If First Arcanist Irving is killed, the templars will become allies. If the magicians survive, they will help not only in the battle, but also from Redcliffe. And he, in turn, as a sign of gratitude, will allocate troops. In addition, Wynn will agree to join the squad at the first meeting only if the magicians are saved. Depending on the choice made, one of the achievements "Thunderstorm of Mages" or "Friend of Mages" is unlocked.
The impact of the decision made on the Circle of Mages on the ending of the game Dragon Age: Origins:
- After months of effort, the Circle of Magi was finally cleared of the spirits that had entered through the Veil. There were no more Taken, and First Enchanter Irving declared the Circle safe. Everyone who could be saved was saved.
- After long and diligent labor, the templars expelled the last spirits from the tower, and now the Ferelden Circle of Magi could be revived there. Rumors about what happened caused the common people even more distrust of the magicians. Many students claimed to have encountered mages wandering the Shadow who had long since been presumed dead.
- Former First Enchanter Irving was taken into custody along with the other surviving mages. The church carefully tested them all for possession. Over a year later, he was finally released. Broken in spirit, Irving agreed to go to the Circle of Val Royeaux in Orlais, where he worked as a manager until the end of his days.
- When the tower was rebuilt, the knight-commander Gregor left his post and, guided by piety, became an ordinary monk of the Church. Over time, his health deteriorated and, refusing treatment, he eventually died in his sleep. The new Knight-Commander Cullen is said to be even stricter and intolerant of mages than Gregor, and his name now terrifies the entire Circle.
- The young templar Cullen never recovered from his torment. After long and fruitless attempts to convince his superiors that the tower was still dangerous, he finally went berserk and killed three mage apprentices before being captured by other templars. Later, Cullen escaped from prison, after which he was declared crazy and dangerous to all magicians.
The impact of the decision made about the fate of Dagna on the ending of the game Dragon Age: Origins:
- Dagna has finally completed her training in the resurrected Circle of Magi tower. She soon posted detailed theory about the connection of lyrium vapor with magical replenishment. This theory has received a lot of attention.
- This inspired mages from other parts of Thedas to found a new Circle of Mages - in Orzammar itself, next to the deposits of dwarven lyrium and outside the power of the Church. Of course, Orzammar's willingness to host the apostates caused outrage in spiritual circles. Hence the rumors of a new Sacred Journey that the High Priestess is allegedly contemplating...
