The Kirkwall chantry is such an ominous place. I feel like Hawke’s first visit being at night and walking into a trap set by templars is a fitting introduction. When you walk in the door, the giant statue of Andraste looms ahead and casts its shadow on you.
The building itself is huge, but the space reserved for the common people’s religious practices is proportionally small. A couple of rows of seating on the upper level and a cluster of candles, but most of even the space the player has access to seems to not be for them, and even during the day there’s hardly anyone in there.
Despite Varric's comment about is as a "building full of sweet old grandmothers", it’s hard to imagine feeling welcome there, it’s more like you’re intruding. It was built to be a magister’s palace and hasn’t really stopped being that for different magisters.
Also Hawke gets beat up there a lot.
