I see a sort-of comparison of Canon and Fanon with Mages and Templars, but which is the Mages and which is the Templars, it's kinda hard to say.

Though I don't see how one side using Lyrium to cast magic, and the other to cancel magic, can be compared to any side here. Oh, and Templars don't need Lyrium, Lyrium is just the Chantry's way to bend their mind and make them their loyal servants. They don't even use Lyrium to cancel magic.
