Tribalism: It's fun!

Man was not meant to be so close or to rule so many, tribalism is how humans are supposed to be governed.

Meant by whom?  Each human should "rule" themselves.  Those that refuse to do this (and those few who are incapable) and become a threat to others thereby should be picked up and dealt with by kindly people who are employed to do so.

This system works great as long as you have a good *objective* definition for "threat" and nice solid rules for enforcement personnel.

Okay, is this thread REALLY turning into a debate on social philosophy? Because...because that seems like a really bad idea.



Back on topic, for some reason whenever I think of the Fex the Volus come to mind. Maybe it's because their from par vollen, or maybe it's because they live under the rule of another race, like the Volus are a client species of the Turians

It might be interestingly jarring if this is the case, but somehow I doubt it.

Yeah, I don't really think that the Fex are the Volus, but that would be kind of fun, if only because it would make all the "DA2=ME2" people's heads explod

[yusuf060297]

maybe the fex are dryads or something like that or the black ones of ferelden

I am hoping for something like this 

Anne Stokes, I absolutely love her art:wub:

And I would love to see the Fex to be a draconian race (or humanoid with wings) but huge wings in the jungle of Par Vollen isn't really practical...

I think that they are some sort of small tree dwelling race messing with every Qunari that enters the forest:P

Other than that I think the halflings, half elf half human could be a good guess, ancient elves lived on Par Vollen, humans arived, crossbreading, halflings

[Xallah]

I think it really might be some human-animal species. And i don't have anything about furries, quite the opposite frankly saying. Bu i'm not sure something cute could fit the DA lore.



Or it may be a race based on free dark spawn or by other means cursed/damned but still conscious.



If Bioware makes another human like race apart from halflings or fairies I’ll be mighty surprised, cos I just can’t think of any other human like race that could even be a potential romance, but something and not a human-animal/insect/fish/bird thing.



Thought maybe it’s a race of humans, but clearly distinguishable since they live remotely and never had their genes crossed with “ordinary humans”. So they’re twice tall, strong and tough.



And draconian sounds likely to me. Or it maybe anything else connected to Old Gods and former Tevinted. Maybe they made artificial creatures like golems, but who’s mind has free and who could produce offsprings?



Really, lots of variants )

I guess these could be mutated dwarves

[Herr Uhl]

If I were to guess their look, they are the original concept of the Qunari that was scrapped.

That would be cool, but may I ask what the F@?# is that thing, a fruit bat?

That is a species of lemur known as an "aye-aye".

Yeah I just looked that up.

It likes to move it, move it.

I hope the Fex actually do look something like that... Or like Yoda. Except not so green and wrinkly.

[Ceridwen]

I see the Fex as tall and slender creatures. Elegant, beautiful and highly advanced one-gender beings.



Or Yoda's babies, that sounds cool too.



So the Fex are like a Qunari protectorate on Par Vollen, or do they live jointly with the Qunari? I'm confused on this part.

People fall easily into clans & families, based on blood relations & cultural similarities, it is not until humans are packed into multi-clan groups do laws have to be put in place. In a clan like structure, if you do something criminal (like stealing/ killing/ adultery) it is because you are hurting the effectiveness/ trust of the clan, it goes without saying when something is wrong/criminal because it hurts the entire clan

[Aermas]

I see them as woodsy halflings with animal qualities/traits

Hey! I sneaked in a relevant comment, I swear! & it wasn't about shields this time!

[EnforcerGREG]

 The fact that they live in a jungle climate reminds me of lizardmen from warhammer but not he saureses more like the skinks.

I think that before the Qunari came the Fex may have worshipped the Old Gods. I base this theroy on that tevinter is close in proximity to the islands so the religion could have spread from their or when humans landed on the islands when they first arrived on thedas.

It's also possible that the Fex could be the orriginal worshippers of the Old Gods because Both the fex and the Old Gods are native to thedas while humans are foreign.

I wonder if the Fex are subject to the Qun? I also wonder at their appearance, but they are likely humanoid mammalian primates like all the other races, so that doesn't bother me so much, because mostly only their size will be significant; physically at least. But, do they have mages? Do they live above or below ground? Are they nocturnal? Carnivorous? What's their average lifespan? Do they have a native language or have they adopted the Qunari tongue? Their culture and how long they have been inhabiting Par Vollen are the main things that I wonder at, concerning the Fex.

Par Vollen is a very interesting place, more so than any other particular part of Thedas, I think. It's the route both Humanity and the Qunari took to what is now Thedas. So if the Fex were there the whole time, then why didn't some of them accompany either the Humans or the Qunari? If they weren't there the whole time, where did they come from? And did the Fex come to Par Vollen via the same route as the Humans and the Qunari?

Sounds interesting, first I've heard of them. I sort of hope they have been conquered by the Qunari, it would be interesting to see a species that has. Possibly even when they were technologically superior to the Quanri (it was them that developed gunpowder?) but physically weaker.

 But, do they have mages?- Unless their lyrium resistant they would have mages, but with the qunari they would be mages with their toungues cut out.

Do they have a native language or have they adopted the Qunari tongue?- My guess would be both as their seperate from the mainland and might not speak whatever it's that humans, dwarves and elves speak. For conversations sake Thedas Basic.

Their culture and how long they have been inhabiting Par Vollen are the main things that I wonder at, concerning the Fex?- If their primitive they are probally the original inhabitants of the islands

That they Qunari see the other races as being suited for the Qun doesn't mean they feel the same way about the Fex. 

 But, do they have mages?- Unless their lyrium resistant they would have mages, but with the qunari they would be mages with their toungues cut out.

The Fex may be exluded from Qunari culture altogether. They may veiw the Fex as a protected and endangered tribe, that should be left to their own devices. Or they may have the opposite status. The Fex may be so much more advanced than the Qunari or, anyone else, that the Qunari largely leave them alone.

Do they have a native language or have they adopted the Qunari tongue?- My guess would be both as their seperate from the mainland and might not speak whatever it's that humans, dwarves and elves speak.

The Summarians adopted a language that was of a people that were subject to them simply because that language was more efficient and robust than their own. So  could be the case with the Fex.

We don't know for certain that the Fex are primative. In fact, it could be theorized that they are more advanced than even the Elves were before humanity arrived. Humanity came to Thedas by route of Par Vollen. How did they know of the Mainland without being told it was there and how to get there. Contrary to what former governer Palin says, Its sort of tough to see from one continent to another. And how did humanity so quickly develop the Tevinter Imperiums resoures without help? Perhaps the Fex decided to make humanity the Elves problem, but showing them a few tricks and the way to a larger and more hospitable territory.

Par vollen in my opinion was just a stop on the way to the mainland. I believe that the humans of thedas were orriginaly a refugee population escaping a catastrophe or were just a large migration from another land which could mean there is an entire unknown region built by humans.

The fex could have told humans about the mainland that is more likely than humans simply stumbling across it.

It's also possible the Fex could have helped humanity adjust. But what would they gain? besides removing a large unwanted problem from their islands of course. It's mentionend by Sten that it's not the native humans who the qunari fight. This emplies to me that some humans must have settled some areas of the islands so human colonys could have traded with one another. 

I dont think the founding of tevinter was as quick as that. But Humanity could have traded with the Fex/Dwarves/Elves for resources.
