Nice work at the Circle Tower -- you've used a microcosm to give us a look at the macrocosm. Change is hard, especially change as sweeping as this split in the Chantry, and there is much work to be done for mages and Templars. It probably would have been kinder to kill Irving, but Cullen couldn't see that. He was too caught up in the Chantry's madness which simply amplified and made use of his own problems.
People forget, for all that he's a wonderful romance and a good friend, that Zevran is a Crow. He's seen and done things that most people only know from nightmares. He is NOT a fluffy pet puppy, he's a trained killer. I found his revenge most fitting. The contrast between his physical appeal -- voice and looks -- and what he's doing to the Principessa is very effective. Blood can only be repaid in blood.
I'm glad that Alistair and Maddy's daughters are safely delivered. Your contrasts among how the three men waited for news was a nice piece of characterization. I really appreciate the fact that Maddy finally gave birth among people who love her and in a place where she was strong and protected. I like to think that, thanks to the Vhen’alath, there might yet be one more child for Alistair and Maddy. It's a pleasant thought.
And finally, it's good to see Henriette happy and whole.

It's been a good ride, and I've enjoyed it.
