I have no clue what Serah is besides the lyric for that one sad song they always use in shows or movies. Apparently it's like a famous Jewish wife or something but I'm guessing that's a different context.

[Impact969]

Yes i also wish to know why i keep getting called this. Especially when i have a name.

Its a non-gender specific version of 'Sir' used in Thedas.  

An expanded version of 'Ser' from the previous game.

My bigger question, and I'm wondering if a developer could answer this is. What exactly is Kirkwall based off of? Some kind of real world society or country?

It's just I'm positive I've heard Serah before, and Meseri but I can't remember what country it's tied to.

 Google says THIS is Serah...



So this is technically a name... So I named my Character Serah, so my character have no more ****ty Old English titles...

Noun 1. sirrah - formerly a contemptuous term of address to an inferior man or boy; often used in anger

[errant_knight]

Before it was contemptuous, it was merely an extended form of sir, but common usage became as above over time. It dates from 16th century England. In the game, both Ser and Serrah are gender neutral addresses of respect.

[Feryx]

That was what I was thinking. Thanks for the confirm CJ.

[Donny SN]

serah is when addressing someone of equal or lower status. Messere is when addressing someone of greater status

[Satyricon331]

Yeah, David Gaider confirmed awhile ago what many people have said here.

Well, one guess would be pretty much any European capital/major city during the slavery period. Slaves were brought in, in chains and the captors seemed to have magical powers (gunpowder and tech.). 

It could also be a reference to one of the old slaver fortresses, massive stonework done by slaves, to house more slaves. Often these slaves would work in nearby quarries or similar hard labor.

It does sound strange that Bodhan refers to Hawke as messere constantly, when they are both Fereldan. The traveling merchant from Ferelden got replaced with a butler from Kirkwall.

[Aldandil]

Well, Bohdan isn't exactly Fereldan (or was he born on the surface? I don't recall). In any case, he's a man of the world who quickly (you know, after a couple of months in Kirkwall) adopts the local form of addressing people. I can't remember if he calls Hawke "Messere" when they first meet, but if he does, it's probably because Hawke is a potential customer.

[CuriousArtemis]

I don't think he calls him "Messere" until Act 2, when Hawke has hired him on as an employee in his house.

No, he wasn't born on the surface. He was exiled when the noblewoman accused him of thievery.
