Severy Damn it, I think I DID see that after I made this video. Thank you for reminding me. I'm pretty sure it didn't give much significant information, but I'll check again

It doesnt. But it makes someone wunder.... Regarding Kossith, The Scaled ones and Corys comment on Qunari that they are created one.... maybe they mixed them up together with some Dragon Blood.... Anyhow Shit gets weird when Tevinter is involved XD

Severy Yes it does XD I actually just made a video for the Qunari and kossith where I go over that idea. But the problem I find is that the Qunari don't have scales. So if they were the scaled ones who were then experimented on with dragon DNA, why would their scales vanish?

I watched it. Well, taking the long time period into account any maybe the percentage of females and males, it can be that males had of the highest percentage (simular to High Dragons only being female). As such males mated with other races (Kossith or maybe Humans or Avaars) and through out generations the scales became less and less common (Simular of some Qunari being Hornless ). Also it can be an adjustment to the invorment they lived in.

@@TheKingdomEntertainment didn't iron bull or maybe a codex say something about them being Savage? Maybe I'm totally wrong on that one, but if it is right, maybe the qunari are bred descendants of the created scaled ones. The experiments with infusing dragon blood to whatever race might have caused a gradually increasing madness and rage. The descendants, who possess the overall traits might have had this madness/rage more or less bred out of them; it would allow for the notion that the structure and order of the qun suffice to stave it off, since it's not a trait as prevalent in their ancestors, or the created ones.

Lu flu Oh, didn't realize that. Well, I do think it's possible that the Scaled Ones are mutated humans. I'm not really sure. The Kossith and Fex still seem more likely to me, but that's just my perspective

I day they lean into it and add more XD

Shawn Johnson Jr A spirit's intervention...I hadn't considered that idea. I like that!

It could be! You know how people theorize that Kossith are what happens when you cross elves with dragon blood? Maybe Scaled Ones are the same extent of what happens to a human on way too much dragon blood. Or maybe they too were once elves, experimented on. A first attempt "perfected" in the creation of the Kossith? Corypheous's line stands out: "Your race is not a RACE, it's a mistake!" So maybe it's the other way around: the Kossith came first. Then again... why would he know that?

prideling well Corypheous is an old magister who claims to have breached the black city, that was in the days when Arlathan was still around. It's possible that he had a hand in their creation or learned it from the fade. But one thing that throws me off is why are the scaled ones in the deep roads? If they were reavers or failed elvehn experiments why the deep roads or Perhaps the old dwarves knew something about them.

Yazmarohma42 all you skyrim players think its funny to pull up some skyrim lore. Bitch plz

please - 'skyrim lore', it is The Elder Scrolls and just a mere troll mention

Don't be sorry! I love hearing others opinions and thoughts :D

Scaled would infer a dragon-ny appearance, they are large and humanoid. No one knows where the Qunari physically came from and the fact that the codex story is taking place before the first blight we are talking during the time of an intact Deep Roads. Given enough time a species sheds non-useful traits and evolves... Maybe? The Reavers seem like a sound idea as well though.

Kossith is not a race but a culture, just like Qunari is usually referring to that particular race but not necessarily because it applies to all who follow the Qun. I now wonder if Fex is the race or what they are. *Fex @ 06:16 mark etc www.ustream.tv/recorded/9386107 *The Qun is a religion, not a race, but so is Kossith. Kossith was never the race name, even though the World of Thedas book (full of errors) says it is a race. Bioware Forums pages are gone, but some people saved some of the discussion there. (near bottom of page) fextralife.com/forums/p4324785/why-is-kossith-an-inaccurate-term-for-horned-qunari-and-talvashoth/ Here are some Quotes: Qunari refers to the people of the Qun and is an ethnoreligious term like the word Jewish, which is both the race and religion and also the culture. Kossith was the belief from before, just as the Qun is the belief now, and the Qunari have almost zero memory of Kossith. Qunari is a bit like the term 'Jewish.' Jewish can mean a person who is of Jewish ethnic descent regardless of their religious beliefs, a member of the Jewish faith, or both. Likewise, Qunari refers to both the race and the religion, and the context in which the word is used determines whether it is referring to adherents of the Qun, the horned Qunari race, or both. "Kossith" is an antiquated term, not a technical one. It was used to describe the culture that predated the Qun. It may not have even been the name of a race at all. It's the equivalent of calling white people, "Occidental. - Mary Kirby" "To anyone in Thedas who doesn’t know any better, they’re all Qunari. The culture and the religion are one and the same thing."But what about the followers of the Qun who aren’t big, horned people?"Properly, they’re viddathari. But since nobody would know what that means, you can call them “elven Qunari”, “human Qunari” or what have you. They are, after all, exceptions to the rule."But what about big, horned people who aren’t followers of the Qun?"Properly, they’re Tal’Vashoth. Again, since few would know what that means, they’d just be called Qunari (to their annoyance, but they’re likely used to it)."But that’s confusing!"No, it’s really not. It’s about as confusing as “Jewish”, and insisting on “kossith” because it’s mentioned in a few codex entries makes about as much sense as insisting someone of Jewish descent be referred to as either Ashke** or Sephardim- as if that would be clearer for most people.Of course, when I bring this up I get a round of “ohhh, Gaider’s upset again.” I’m not upset in the slightest. Kossith is simply an antiquated term that would be used by neither the Qunari nor the Tal’Vashoth and has never even been heard of by anyone else in Thedas, so it’s not apt to be used in-game anytime soon. Thus people insisting on its usage as “proper” when most people who’ve even played the game have never heard of it just makes me scratch my head. It’s bizarre, particularly on the odd occasion when someone schools another fan about it- like they’re just not educated enough to know they should be confused.We’ll call them Qunari. If we feel the need to distinguish from the norm, either in terms of race or religion, we’ll do so… and the only people who’ll be confused are those who enjoy overthinking it. - David Gaider" Also this: "At -410 Ancient a group of kossith landed in the southern Korcari Wilds and established a colony. This group is believed to have been captured by darkspawn during the First Blight; the darkspawn then turned some of the females into broodmothers, and those in turn gave rise to the first appearance of ogres in Thedas.[5] A millennium after this contact, the Qunari landed on Par Vollen in 6:30 Storm. It is said the Qunari came from an eastern land across the Northern Ocean, which was likely the land of kossith as well." dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Kossith

Sarah Marie James Working on it now :) With any luck, it should be up within the next 2 weeks

P.O. Square Neck This is before the first Blight, so Nevarra didn't exist yet. While there may have been reavers before that, the practice has obviously persisted for hundreds of years, meaning there should have been other mention of them since.

The Kingdom bro the practice of drinking dragon blood may have been there before Nevarra. Also think about this man, the land of Nevarra(even if this wasnt always Nevarra) is the home of the mortalitasi. Death magic and blood rituals may have always been there. As for dragon hunting and dragon blood drinking? I bet it started with the fact that there were always dragons

FreeTheSheep N7 Interesting theory...I doubt that Abyss part, but they could still serve the forgotten ones!

The Kingdom Maybe they are related to dragons in some form or other. I actually think dragons are a lot more significant in thedas than they seem.

TheLastSound I remember reading an interview or something with David Gaider about that very topic. I wish I still had the link, but it was something like this: Q: What do you call the followers of the Qun? A: Qunari. Q: What do you call the race of horned giants? A: Qunari. "Kossith" is a term only known by a few Ben Hassrath, and the term is never used for the race (also according to David Gaider). I have a theory of what the kossith are, and I'll hopefully be making a video for that soon. Someone can fact check me if they can find where Gaider said those things. I'm pretty sure they are linked as sources on the Wiki either for Kossith or Qunari. Anyway, I do appreciate the comment :)

eva magnusson Why would Krogan retreat from the dwarves, then pose some of their bodies on a fire-shaped alter, and then have a female breathing fire while the men bow?

Interesting. But what would that make her followers? And her fire breathing and stuff? It's possible, though. I should look more into what happened to the other Magisters

maybe a new form of darkspawn we havent encountered? the Mother " you know the crazy broodmother" gave birth to the children and she was human once so why did she spawn them and not hurlocks

Because of the experiments that The Architect conducted on her to free her from "The Song". It mutated her somehow.

Interesting maybe...Only question is how the Darkspawn Joining created new Darkspawn and if the Architect did his joining to another broodmother would she also create the "children" or are they a unique new kind of Darkspawn that only came from her

Lord Vesperia58 That's something I'm not sure I want to find out...

Darth Portus Before the first Blight? That seems unlikely

Why ? For all we know the Darkspawn could already destroyed entire dwarven kingdom by the time if the first blight. Remember that they must have dug up Dumat first.

Darth Portus Because Cad'Halash wasn't destroyed yet, which was way before the first Blight. The Dwarves sacked it once they learned that elven refugees were taken in, and was pretty much totally destroyed to erase the evidence. Also, what darkspawn has armor that would cause a Dwarven axe to simply bounce off? And darkspawn wouldn't retreat or act surprised after just one of them was killed.

Hmmm that really doesn't sound like Darkspawn behavior. But if they are not Darkspawn who the hell are they ? Some undiscovered civilization ? Perhaps from different world ?
