Magisters are the ruling magocrats of the Tevinter Imperium. Their ruling social class is called "Altus" in the Tevene language, and it is also the legislative body of the Imperium, aptly named "The Magisterium". The Imperial Archon and the Black Divine are elected from the ranks of the Magisters.

The Chantry teaches that a group of magisters managed to physically enter the Fade and the Golden City of the Maker. As a result it was corrupted, which led to the creation of the darkspawn.
