Extended Tevinter power structure chart ( expanded canon)

The Archon: Supreme executive position. Usually inherited -- can be elected by the Magisterium if they have no appointed heir (WoT I, p. 76). However, an Archon mustn't be a member of Magisterium or the Chantry (also based on WoT I). So, the choice between Maevaris and Dorian in DATV technically shouldn't have been permitted...

The Imperial Divine: Head of the Imperial Chantry, also holding the position of Imperial Grand Enchanter, elected among Grand Clerics. Has a seat in the Magisterium.

The Chanty and the College: not all enchanters in the Circles of Magi need to be Chantry clergy and vice versa, but all Chantry positions from Revered Mother/ Father upward require membership in a Circle (WoT I, p. 125). The Grand Clerics of the Imperial Chantry automatically take seats in the Magisterium.

(*Not canon compliant) The Imperial Chantry serves as the state religion, the Imperium's main moral authority, the main judicial and advisory body to the Magisterium. It provides checks and balances to the regular resurgences of the Old God cults and attempts to revert Hessarian's Transfiguration of the Imperium.

(*Canon Friendly): The Circles of Magi are the public academies, responsible for education, research and development of new thaumaturgic technologies that serve the public good.

The Magisterium: the main legislative body of the Imperium. Each of the Circles also appoints a representative, though the First Enchanters are not eligible (WoT I, p. 76). Other positions in the Magisterium are inherited. The Laetans class has an entirety of three Magisterium seats (WoT II, p.38). The Archon has the right to appoint magisters directly.

(*Canon friendly) A single person only holds one Magisterium seat. If a legacy Magister becomes a Grand Cleric, they hold their seat in the Magisterium as a Grand Cleric; the legacy seat is then freed to be filled in by the Archon's decree. The Archon holds a waitlist of Magisterium candidates who can "jump in" following emergencies and power shuffles.

The Publicanium (*not canon compliant): a secondary body to the Magisterium that serves as a lesser legislative body, and the main administrative body, that mostly operates on the provincial level. It includes both the central administration (e.g. the Treasury and the Imperial Highways department) and local governments.

If you want to picture how a single person can consolidate power by advancing in particular institutions, look no further than Magister Rezaren Ammosine from Absolution. Rezaren is a magister by inheritance and a Chantry Brother with realistic prospects of promotion within the Chantry, which also requires him to be a Circle Enchanter.

Conversely, Dorian Pavus has held an Enchanter position in a Circle when he aided Magister Gereon Alexius in his research, but he never joined the Chantry. From his example, we learn that a "fully fledged Enchanter" must graduate a Circle at a respectable level at least, and likely also pursue some academic work later.

Okay, so. Faith, Aisha and Sadaf from Hell Followed With Us by Andrew Joseph White are all semi-canonically in a qpr. Semi-canon because it doesn't happen in the book proper, but the groundwork is laid/it's heavily implied that this might happen, and the author confirmed that the three enter a qpr together soon-ish postcanon (with Aisha and Sadaf also being in a romantic relationship). Faith is also canonically aromantic and I headcanon Aisha as demisexual!

Faith, Aisha and Sadaf from Hell Followed With Us are in a qpr!

Faith from Hell Followed With Us is aromantic!

and Aisha from Hell Followed With Us is demisexual!

If Heather was the one who got to see Alex in the finale instead of Chris, do you think their interactions would be the same or different from what we got?

I think that Chris & Alex's brotherhood was so much stronger than Heather's bond with Alex. A lifetime of friendship between Alex and Chris, who didn't have siblings like Alex, hits so much deeper when Chris confronted losing that last "family member" when he had already lost so much. I wouldn't want Heather to be the one to meet Alex last personally. Heather trusting Chris to have that last interaction felt more important to their healing process and moving on.

"Despite being the same age, Lauzun was very small when we found him.

Najin kept saying that if it wasn't for his side slash, he could pound him to a pulp. To that I said he shouldn't hang out with Luce and that he is a bad influence.

But anyways, our lended coats swallowed him, he was tiny compared to the trees he was slaying with ease, and when I hugged him, it felt like he was just a little puppy.

We were kids, we were immature. Najin and I would pat his head to show our dominance and the fact that we were taller, but he didn't really mind. (I don't think he understood what we meant by it) He even enjoyed it a little bit, he leaned into my touch and smile.

He didn't like when Najin did it, though. I'm pretty sure it was because he would always mess up his hair, and sometimes even pull it.

When I saw him do that, I got scared.

Why is he acting like that suddenly? He never did anything like that to me.

And is Lauzun capable of standing up for himself?

...Well, he is taller than me now.

And he beat the crap out of that guy at the sparrings just because he spitted some insults about Woodion or whatever.

I don't really miss the times when he was small.

I miss it more when he was close enough that I could hug him."

"Luke, you cannot marry that woman! I forbid it!"

Luke turned back to Anakin with narrowed eyes and a defiant jut to his chin, "I can and I will, Father," he said in a most Leia-like tone that suggested any attempt to countermand him would see someone introduced to the wrong end of a lightsaber, "The only person's permission I need is Mara's and last I checked you weren't her,"

"She got your hand cut off!"

"That was a decade ago! And we both know the extenuating circumstances behind that," Luke snapped rolling his eyes, before muttering under his breath, "Besides, it's not like she has any complaints about the replacement...,"

Anakin had not yet digested the last statement before they were interrupted by a loud roar that both men quickly realized was a Wookiee's rendition of gut wrenching laughter.

Chewbacca was bent over, his paws on his knees, the Millennium Falcon's maintenance forgotten. He wheezed out something about miniature vibro motors in his laughter, causing Luke's cheeks to break out in a blush before he threw up his head and marched off with an imperious huff.

The terrible dots only connected after Luke had left the hangar, and Anakin wasn't sure whether to start screaming or destroying something.
