Chantry

Mythology & Lore

The principal teaching of the Imperial Chantry, is their interpretation of the words, "magic exists to serve man, and never to rule over him." The magisters interpret this to mean that magic must serve the greater good, which they claim to be accomplished through the rule of the magisters. The Tevinter priests altered the Chant to reflect that magic must be used in the service of all mankind for their prosperity. This allowed the magisters to reclaim their ancient authority and once again rule the Imperium. 
 
The Chantry also believes that long ago, a dragon of blazing starlight absorbed the sun's energy shrouding the solar system in darkness. They believe that their god, a giant silver dragon named Selune battled this Sun Dragon until it was gravely wounded and fled to The Frozen Sea. Selune rested on a nearby moon, imbuing it with her essence, thus created of Lyrium.
