They keep mages on leashes.



@David Gaider: Can you tell us what the Tal'Vashoth believe in?



Do they follow a different interpretation of the Qun, have their own system, or simply opose the Qun?

The Qun is a Lie.

well I though he meant as in their are no women fighters because all fighters are consider, socially, male. So we could have female soldier, just she will not be considered female by her peers. That is how I interpret David Gaiders new info.

i think Sten would say: "No."

Well they didn't always live on those northern
islands... I have a feeling that wherever they left, they did so for a
reason. Perhaps fleeing from something, considering that they don't
maintain contact with the place. (Sten mentions that he doesn't even
know the name of their original homeland)

That is assuming that ALL of them arrived at Thedas. What if this was just a raiding party/ Settler party?

Sure. I am not doubting servival instinct. Just the training in warfare you mentioned.

Right-- as I mentioned, a female qunari would not be trained in combat (unless they were Ben-Hassrath, I suppose, but that is a very separate role from a soldier and a qunari would not consider them the same thing -- a Ben-Hassrath does not fight, they enforce religious law). The qunari do not send women to fight, and would not even consider their presence as a consideration in their defense, but if pressed a female qunari will fight-- and be fairly good at it, considering the natural qunari build. Even so, it's a very male thing to do. Your average female qunari would find it distasteful, and if she didn't that would be very baffling to other qunari. "Why do you want to be male?"

Mr. Gaider a Qunari female squadmate and if is possible a love interest for Hawke please!!

[AntiChri5]

I think they would be arrested by the Ben-Hassrath.

Yeah but Templars keep them on leashes as well, what's the difference between both? Do the Qunari allow the Mages to practice and hone their abilities and give them positions where their powers will be useful, or shun the use of magic and just give them simple menial tasks like chef / bard?

And if they DO use magic, do they allow it for fighting purposes and allow the Female Qunari to fight with their talents (If they can be mages)?

The "grey ones" have abandoned the Qun completely. Or, at least, that's how the qunari would view it. Just how much your average Tal'Vashoth has abandoned their upbringing in their heart depends on the individual. There is no organized Tal'Vashoth culture.

This is interesting, a female Qunari fighting is considered a male but.. can a male Qunari also be considered a female by this practice? I heavily doubt that all non-fighting roles are taken by females.

@Dave: They keep them on literal leashes.



And cut out their tounges.



They pity mages, but......kind of consider them tools.



I think Fereldens treat Mabari better.

The qunari mages are literally kept on leashes, held by an arvaarad (their "handler", if you will). The templars only keep mages on figurative leashes.

Do the Qunari allow the Mages to practice and hone their abilities and give them positions where their powers will be useful, or shun the use of magic and just give them simple menial tasks like chef / bard?

I think it would be better to think of qunari mages as trained attack dogs.

And if they DO use magic, do they allow it for fighting purposes and allow the Female Qunari to fight with their talents (If they can be mages)?

A female qunari who is a mage is no longer female. She is saarebas-- a "dangerous thing", not even a person really. So, yes, female qunari do fight with their magic, but they're considered part of the arvaarad the same way a sword would be part of the warrior.

I see, thank you very much for the answer.

Only sometimes? That is insufficient. You will report to a re-education center immediately for questioning by the Ben-Hassrath.

Me... All the time.

Yeah--I can see why Alistair was unerved by Sten in the first game if he knew that.

They most likely have the teammates programmed in already.

Almost all roles in their society are mono-gendered. So it works both ways.

@solidn7: Yeah and David is a writer, not a programmer soooooo yeah. No real reason to ask him that.

But he decides what the programmers program. Due to writing it.

I've been wondering for a while, what kind of magic is considered forbidden?
