Hardly. The war still happened. The mages still ended up not quite as free as they wished. Plenty still blamed myself for allowing it to happen in the first place. No... the only thing it seems to achieve was bringing him mercy.
Well. The mages are conscripted to the Inquisition now. I believe there was something about enslaving themselves to Tevinter and getting the lot of them thrown out of Ferelden? Varric was a bit sparce on that information, quite honestly. "It's a right mess" could mean so many things.
The Chantry is all but destroyed so maker help them, the templars have gone rogue and joined the latest world ending disaster along with the grey wardens in every bad decision you could choose.
Perhaps when all the trouble settles down and Corypheus is dealt with, it'll be more obvious. But for now, it seems as if it's just another problem on top of many.

A good friend of mine- Varric, vouched for them. The kid could use a drink or five but they're hanging in there by the skin of their teeth, sheer spite, and a good head on their shoulders.

I've got a good feeling about the Inquisitor. They've seemed to have it well in hand.

According to everyone with an opinion, they are.
Meanwhile, they're just trying to hold everything together with a piece of twine, some elfroot, and the hopes and dreams of the entire nation.

Well he'd say he hopes you're okay but uh. We're dead so. ]
