Maybe Redwater is another town in the Free Marches? I felt like Raider was more like the "unit" rather than the group. The fact that there where those spikes on the stairs (a little away from the fight) suggested to me that there was an invasion. Besides, a city that is recovering from an attack is an easy target (if the qunari come first or latter, dosn't matter in this sense).

Wasn't it said in the Witch Hunt DLC that there is a refugee camp near Kirkwall that is nearly as big as Kirwall? Maybe that is what the people of Redwall are raiding? Or maybe Redwall is the name of the refugee camp?

I'm thinking the name "redwater" comes from them dumping their victims in the river (or fjord or whatever it is) in Kirkwall, thus making the water red.

Well as nightcobra pointed out, they seem to be close to a port in the Combat Video. So yes, you could be right about the origin of their name. But I think they would dump the bodies in the ocean.

Whatever that red dragon is, it's a direct threat to the Viscount. They superimposed it on the black dragon. They must mean to oust the current ruler & take over Kirkwall

Stupid trivia time: in one quest in Oblivion, you have to fight a sea-going gang called the Blackwater Brigands.

If there was ever a Dragon Age/Elder Scrolls crossover, I like to think that the Blackwater Brigands and the Redwater Raiders would meet to discuss their mutual love of colors, water, alliteration, and thievery.

Actually, the red symbol you guys have picked up on was a symbol the slaves used to identify when they were part of the rebellion that would eventually overthrough the Tevinter magisters that used to run Kirkwall. It was widely used by the time the city rose up into open rebellion and over the centuries, the symbol has been refined and morphed into the more celtic looking knot work symbol you can see in other videos (and on the hoodies).



Of interest, though, is the fact that the red symbol has recently started re-appearing. Could there be more rebellion in Kirkwall? Is it just nostalgia? Hard to say.

Ah, the good ol' days of rioting and burning down buildings.

And half of us were taken to the square and hung at the end of the day.

Good times.

Still have pictures of that, Jim's face was priceless as he was hanging from a noose. Where is he, anyway? Haven't seen him since.

Join the group of rebels to overthrow the current Kirkwall government? sounds pretty neato.

I doubt that will happen though. I personally think Its just a red hearing and the design is actually the new sensation that is sweeping the Kirkwall nation, Neo-Tevinterism

I have changed the title of the thread, now you can also discuss the possibilities of a rebellion in Kirkwall.



Personally, I think it has something to do with the Ferelden refugees coming to Kirkwall. From what I've heard the people in Kirkwall aren't to happy with them.

oh great. Now we'll have teenagers and hipsters who don't know the first thing about Hawk and his Hawkolución wearing t-shirts with his image on it, walking down the streets of Kirkwall sixty years from now, spouting his quotes completely out of context.

Exactly. So you better hurry up and hook up with Varrick to get the trademark and marketing rights to Hawke Guerra shirts before someone else hijacks this gravy train!:police:

Somewhere I once saw a shirt with Che's face on it and a subtitle that simply read: "I have no idea who this is."

Makes you want to both laugh and weep.

Mr. Laidlaw, has the symbol returned in recent years, like only 1 or 2 years ago? 
Or has it been back for a while now, lets say 10?

Sounds like a fine way to start a new religion. ;)

The bay of Nugs was when the slaves revolted. But after that I think it was pretty much lost.

I thought the Redwater Raiders would simply be Krkwall's most prominent sports team, in whatever the Free Marches most popular sport happens to be, tiddliwinks, genocide, whatever.
