Complicated. They were a group, just as we were. Groups, more properly; it wasn't just us and the Chantry, it was also Inquisition leadership and Inquisition-aligned Templars. Four groups, and if they were like our delegation, I'm sure there was internal dissent behind the scenes in each. That said...

At the time, yes, I think the delegations were there in good faith. The Chantry could have demanded the Inquisition simply kick out every mage who went on strike, or every mage period. We all left with less than we'd hoped for, but we also didn't leave with any party breaking from the Inquisition outright, which wasn't a foregone conclusion.
