Forget Broodmother romances, I want to romance Rasaan! She can re-educate my next protagonist any day of the week! Also, how was my new mic audio in the video, please give me your feedback, thank you!

I think in DA:O sten said that the Qunari will one day invade and that he will not look for the warden on the field when it happens.

Imagine having to choose between an alliance with the Qunari and an alliance with Solas. Either will eventually cause the world to burn XD

Back in my day Qunari didn't have horns

Wooo love the series. And Bioware, get on the "leak some info about DA 4" train!

My ultimate dream/nightmare scenario would be seeing my warden have to fight Sten as he is the new Arishok. Seeing how he respected my warden, it'd be a short, albeit bittersweet, reunion.

TBH, I'm cheering for Solas on that one. I'm pretending I haven't noticed how DAI had retconned qunari, and they are still the same cold, ruthless, logic and duty driven people that had me frustrated with how emotionally dense they were. The idea of qunari forcefully 'converting' some of my favs is chilling, because can you imagine Zevran or Morrigan as model qunari citizens?

Since we're talking about the qunari in this episode, does anyone remember hearing in DAI that the new arishok is hornless? Could it be Sten from origins?

Great video, Mr. Daw. Here are some thoughts about the future of Qunari plots. First, the origin of the Qunari and their relation to the Kossith will likely be revealed in DA4. I believe the truth is something so horrible and depressing that learning it would shatter that seemingly invincible resolve the Qunari society tries to present to the rest of the world. I believe the Ariqun likely knows the history, but it is passed on verbally, and never written down. I also believe Corypheus knew their origin, which is why he calls a qunari Inquisitor's race a mistake. Urthemiel's soul also seems to know about them. Thus, I think Solas knows the truth about them as well, and plans to release the knowledge of their origin in order to cause a massive civil war and chaos within the qunari culture. He said he would rather people live in relative comfort until the day they have to die, but he also said he would rather see people free of the Qun. Also, a massive event full of bloodshed might be necessary to fulfill his plan to tear down the Veil, as shedding blood is known to weaken and breach the Veil. Also, I think that Solas' big brain play is to demonstrate that the current world of Thedas must be destroyed. Proving to the (ex-)Inquisitor why the world must die could be part of his plan to fulfill the resurrection of his own world. Destabilizing the Qunari would go far in proving that this world is beyond hope. This is for those who believe they can redeem Solas and prove that this world doesn't have to die. Those who chose that option will really have to defend it. Also, those who want to stop him by any means might have second thoughts when they see what kind of world they're truly trying to save. I could be wrong, but I think Temassran is not strictly female in role. Most of their educators are female, but there are some male priests who instruct other males. Also, the picture of the Ariqun you showed is a male. So I think the Ariqun can be male or female. The Arigena on the other hand is always female, just as the Arishok is always male. Now that I think about it, I bet dwarves would find it the most difficult to live under the Qun. Many dwarven males are merchants and craftsmen, which fall under the Arigena's expertise. Those males would then have to give up their businesses. Likewise, the dwarven nobility would get flattened down to the same status as any other warrior or guard. The caste-less would probably like it though. I think the jury is still out on how aqun-athlok are treated under the Qun. Sten has one view, Hissrad has another. Considering the latter's title translates to liar, I'm inclined to believe Sten, who is now Arishok and commands the Antaam. I would think he would know better than anyone else, especially now. However, I acknowledge that BioWare seems to be tilting in favor of Hissrad's explanation, vague as it was. 8:42 That guard looks like he really needs to use the privy. I was chatting with DarthShadie about this yesterday afternoon, but I'm confused about what's going on with the Qunari factions seemingly defying the will of the Salasari. Firstly, didn't the Salasari renew their assault on Tevinter anyway? So why would one faction's attack on Tevinter be unsanctioned? Maybe they are ignoring orders of which locations to attack, and then attacking any target they want, but isn't that something that would get them branded as tal-vashoth? Also, how can the Ariqun command any antaam? I mean, I know Viddasala commanded some in Trespasser, but those were appointed to guard the Darvaraad and her agents. How can a Rassan order soldiers to engage in military action? I fear BioWare is starting to lose track of their own lore, and they're just writing whatever plots come to mind and disregarding consistency in the process. Interesting idea that Rassan wants to know Solas' true name. Connor's desire demon says that names have power. Knowing a spirit's true name might give the one knowing it some kind of power over that spirit, or perhaps a easier route of finding or communicating with it. I don't think Dragon's Breath was the Ben-Hassrath's plan, but rather Viddasala's. The Salasari disavowed the operation and claimed to have no knowledge of it in a letter to Josephine that Viddasala intercepted then crumpled up in anger. I think Viddasala was just trying to start an invasion that the Salasari would have no choice but to support once it was started. I think Rassan is doing the same thing here, just against Solas rather than the South. As for the rest of the Qunari, I think they're only attacking Tevinter, which they were doing anyway. Trespasser states that the Salasari reach out to the Chantry for support in attacking Tevinter. So why would the Qunari attack the South when they haven't even taken down Tevinter yet? This was one of the flaws in Viddasala's plan. Another issue is how the Ariqun can have the Ben-Hassrath sit the war out. Shouldn't they at least be assisting while also investigating Solas? Isn't refusing to assist grounds for being declared Tal-Vashoth? Allying with the Ben-Hassrath could be a secret function of the Inquisition while the new protag stays in good with Tevinter officials. The Inquisition could pass on any Ben-Hassrath info to the new protag. Play both sides. Again, Dragon's Breath was disavowed, and the Salarari have requested cooperation with the South in defeating Tevinter. They have not officially declared war against the South, though I agree they do want to eventually conquer all of Thedas eventually. That deal with the Qunari that Talon made was worthless. Qunari honor is what would demand they double-cross him after peaceful invasion was complete. I think I'd rather have a tal-vashoth female party companion, who is also possibly a Grey Warden, be the romance rather than someone like Rassan. However, BioWare would need to fix the female character design for the Frostbite engine. Too many of the female designs just aren't feminine enough, and this is especially true for the female qunari. There should also be some body sliders to adjust their body type. Any new qunari female romance should look feminine. One of Solas' plans could be to start a major war between Tevinter and the Qunari so that it helps weaken the Veil. Another possibility is that he is undermining the Qunari from the inside. Solas could be contacting certain elves who live under the Qun and testing them mentally as double agents. If they pass the test, they become his agents under the false promise of having a better life once the kingdom of the elvhen is restored. If they fail the test and prove to be too brainwashed by the Qun, then Solas might kill them outright or just make them forget everything they dreamed of him.

Great video as always. Informative for those who are not deep in Qunari lore. I always have loved Qunari lore and culture. It is genuinely fascinating. Also, the new mic be quite sexy.

The enemy of my enemy....is still my enemy 🔥 Guys let's get real for 2 seconds are we really going to attempt to stop a elven god to has been planning(and has means to execute his plans) for over 1000 years to destroy the veil with no clue how and where to begin to stop him oh im gonna love DA4 🔥🔥

I think the Tevinter created them with dragon blood magic to be a slave race but they rebelled. Why they are fighting has been lost to time, but the conversation with Iron Bull after you kill a high dragon put that seed in my brain. I could be wrong, but I could be right too.

Can confirm your mic is clearer - Your woah-who-whoaaaah is significantly clearer 😂

new mic is good mate

I hope I'll be given an option to destroy the Qun in the next game

Qunari: perfectly balanced as all things should be

Sounds good man. Always love you your vids. Hello from Oregon, US.

Also, I stream on Twitch 3 times a week these days, if you’d like to catch one of my streams, follow me on Twitch: www.twitch.tv/jackdawyt

Love info about the Qunari and eagerly await whatever role they play in DA4!! Great video!! Keep em coming!! Also, new mic sounds good. 👍

So far, I can't help imagining we'll choose between Qunari (Qun or Tal-Vashoth), Tevinter (magister or rebellion) and Thedas (Inquisition or Solas) factions among maybe one or two more

God I love these long videos, thanks for putting in so much work to help keep the dragon age community active it’s really keeping me sane 😂

You can catch up on all the previous episodes of The Road To Dragon Age 4 here: kzfaq.info/sun/PLXNz-vptG-rsbw6ZIGp17HE7mDof_jshF

Other than looks and strength, does the Qunari kinda remind you of the Thalmor from ES? Both have beliefs that they want the rest of the world to follow. They’re both conquering religions. If you cross them they will hunt you down. If you fall from their ranks, they will hunt you down.

I always thought the Qunari were interesting. Great video!

After Sten said in DAO that the Qun is keeping their Sarebaas in little stalls like horses I am done with the Qun.

A kossith outside of the qunari, probably has a regular and easier life.

I don't know about Rasaan but I can see Vaea, Francesca, Marius, & Ser Aaron as companions. At least one of them has to be, also I want my Protagonist to romance Vaea.

I think they actually would form a extremely fragile truce with everyone else because it's the old " team-up with your most hated enemies against someone or something even worse than you situation!

It’s interesting that the Qunari are so singleminded, yet have commuted the most disavowed false flag attacks out of any nation

With these rumors that Qunari have dragon blood, maybe BioWare will give us a new meaning to the name, “Dragon Age.” Anaan essam Qun.

The guy marching on the spot around 8.37 XD

i hope we can join the qun if we want too. I love the qunari they are a badass people.

Idk but I'm really excited to learn more about the qunari and tevinter. Maybe get caught between the 2 sides and have to choose who to ally with in there never ending war.

The audio was perfectly fine :) What do you think about the « good » that the Qun would bring to Thedas ? A lot of protagonist, beginning by Sten have given us a lot of things to process that are kinda different from what we hear about the Qun, and the live inside it. For exemple, Rivain has not yet fully recover from the Qun invasion, but seems to be a land of a kind of freedom (even for the elves). What would Thedas be if it was conquered ?

So, I just found your channel, and I don't know if you're just steeped in lore from books, or if you have some inside scoop, but I have a question. Are we ever going to see any more darkspawn as anything other than the occasional random enemy? (Okay, I know Corypheus was technically a darkspawn). The one area where I really thought DAO excelled was that horror flavor that came from having the darkspawn be a big part of the plot. Mages and templars fighting is cool and all, and who doesn't love a good demon, but the darkspawn really gave a sense of urgency to the first game that I never quite felt in the sequels.

So what Sten said in Origins has now been retconned.

Qunari, qunari, qunari

I don't know if it is because of your new microphone or if it is because it is, but this video I understood much better all the words you said. (I'm from Argentina). But I think it's because of the microphone. I'll listen "Mythal vengeance" and if I understand better too... I'll let you know jajajajaja

Thanks for the video dad. Stay safe

It’s times like this that makes the Qun sound like a good idea😭

You sound a bit clearer. Thank you for the video, and yes, another quanri romance please. But whatever will you say to your heartbroken broodmother? 😅

Your voice sounds clearer so stick with this mic! :)

Audio sounds great! Louder which makes it easier to hear

Oh god I hope we see sten in DA4

audio sounds cleaner yup

You should make Dragon Age RPG supplement !!! I know I will be using this lore in my dragon age games!!!

Rasaan in da4 as a companion or we riot

if the qunari are part dragon and cant be grey wardens because they are somehow immune yo the taint, maybe fiona was able to have a child because maric cured her, as he is descended from calenhad who was a powerfull reaver? just speculation

Heeere for it

Totally unrelated but is it true that the creative director of DA has confirmed that the hero of ferelden will not be appearing in future games ?

I think the next dragon age will focus in politics, present and past.

lol at the beginning this dude said welcome to my series perving the road lol

The qun part of Ariqun is pronounced like the qun part of Qunari.

Damn Commies

I have two states set up for the next DA. 1st one is a dalish elf mage, who shut down the inquisition, romanced Solas and wants to save him. She put hardened Lelianna on the throne and threw poor old Allister off to fear in the fade. She is pro elf and pro mage freedom in every capacity. She drank from the well of sorrows. Morrigan does not have a child, the hero of ferelden is a dead elven mage. Hawke is a mage who romanced Anders and is trying to save him. It will be a very anti qun state. The other is Deus Vult by Andraste's will! It is centred around the strengthening of the chantry, it serves as Divine Vivienne' muscle, the seekers of truth are rebuilt under a romanced Cassandra and the Inquisitor. He did not drink from the well of sorrows. Hero of ferelden romanced Lelianna, and lived. Hawke sided with the Templars and killed Anders. They will be for southern Thedas and they will be for the expanding and prospering of the chant of light.

Omg, I just realised, Qunari is totally inspired by Islam and Sharia law.

I think your voice sounds the same xD

I just re play dragon age inquisition now and damn... this game have a loot of problem they have not enough story quest the game only loin big because of the side quest and a loot of animation of cinematics are bad like Moira teleport a loot of time I don’t understand why I wish they put a team for the animation and cinematic that would see if they have any problems and that would make it better like the inquisitor look so dead and a loot of conversation look strange because of the body language

The qun has always reminded me of islam, and the chantry of christianity.

Wow I hit the 400 like 😂 nice

How can people support the Qunari but hate Tevinter's history? Both the same things, tyrannical.

The Qun sounds a bit like Sharia
