Post-Fall Political Landscape:
The status quo remains initially, with slow-paced lifting of restrictions. Freedom of movement is reserved for the elite, and the Archon's power faces threats. Trade is gradually allowed, but with heavy limitations. Returning citizens undergo intense scrutiny by the Secret Police, and tensions rise between conservatives and those embracing change.

Social Landscape:
In the era preceding the fall of the magical barrier, Tevinter's social tapestry was woven with threads of exclusivity and resource constraints, limiting large-scale events to a select few. Wealthy Altus, strategically positioned, hosted private gatherings, their prestige heightened when graced by the presence of the Black Divine or Archon. As lesser houses succumbed, a new wave of ruthless elites emerged, blending 'new money' with the traditional Old Guard of the Altus.

Renown was earned through contributions to Tevinter's sustenance, emphasizing the importance of supporting the nation's stability. Educational disparities prevailed, with Altus retaining private tutors, while lesser classes enrolled in standardized programs within the Circles. Sensitive Serfs received basic magical instruction, with further education granted to those showing particular affinity.

The immediate aftermath of the visible barrier's fall plunged the populace into panic, avoiding border regions, while the Tevinter Army remained on high alert. Diplomatic initiatives ensued in the weeks following, with fortified borders and heightened security measures. Spies were recalled or dispatched for debriefings, fostering suspicion on both sides, and crossing into Tevinter became perilous.

In the post-fall political landscape, the status quo struggled, with a gradual allowance for trade but heavy restrictions. The Archon's power faced internal threats, and newly returned citizens underwent intense scrutiny by the Secret Police, monitored for an undisclosed duration. Tensions rose between conservative factions and advocates for change, potentially leading to scuffles, while a groundswell movement among Serfs emerged, monopolized by Pro-Change factions. The border witnessed destabilization, marked by clashes between Tevinter forces and unauthorized individuals attempting to cross.

During Barrier:
Limited large scale events due to resources - made more grander due to less frequent. More wealthy/better positioned Altus can throw private events but these are attended by a limited number of people. (Members who are able to have the BD or Archon attend are often in favour).
Less adaptable houses fall, and have given rise to more ruthless ones, ‘new money’ mingling with the remaining ‘Old Guard’ of the Altus.
To gain renown one must be able to contribute to the sustainment of Tevinter.
Altus are able to retain tutors and private mentors, yet lesser classes  must enroll in the standardised program set within Circles.
Serf’s who have a sensitivity to magic are only given basic instruction and not further educated unless they show particular affinity that could prove useful.

Immediate Aftermath (if the barrier was a visible barrier)

• Likely panic, given it was there to keep them safe?
  
• Avoidance of the border would be a regular person's reaction.
  
• Army would be on alert for crossings
  

Week - 2 week After Barrier falls

• Archon/Ambassadors have made contact with the outside.
  
• Pro-change groups would likely resurface, but take time to organise (months).
  
• Meeting point established for discussions/negotiations
  
• Heavily fortified and manned borders
  
• Spies would be sent or recalled homewards for debriefings.
  
• Heavy suspicion on both sides
  
• Any crossing into Tevinter territory is dangerous, trespassers will be caught, questioned and likely executed.
  

Post Fall Political Landscape

• Status Quo remains in place, snail pace of restrictions being lifted: Freedom of Movement is reserved for Altus and those with permission.
  
• Balance of Archon’s power threatened
  
• Gradual allowance for trade, but heavily limited and restricted on options.
  
• Newly returned Citizens are subjected to heavy questioning by the Secret Police and are monitored for an unknown period of time.
  
• Tension between new conservatives vs those who view the barrier falling a good thing
  
• Pro-Change gathering more momentum leading to scuffles?
  
• Beginnings of groundswell movement among Serf’s as information filters through, could be monopolised by Pro-Change movement.
  
• Destabilisation of the border - Clashes between Tevinter forces and those crossing border unauthorised.
  

Tevinter & The World:
Tevinter does not trust any other nation in the world; they are very insular.
