A mage fighting is entirely different from a warrior fighting, so I don't see how that holds true and that's *if* Saarebas are regarded as men/women under the Qun at all.

Yeah but Templars keep them on leashes as well, what's the difference between both?

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.

Ha! I was right I was riiight.

Well, yes and no.  Like most of what they believe, it seems to turn inward on itself.  They *treat* the Saarebas like animals--but dangerous animals, that require a handler.  More like lions than housecats.  They have a certain amount of pity and respect for the Saarebas.

It's almost as if they think that the "mind" part of the Saarebas' being is totally messed up beyond all functionality.  They have a soul--the part of them that submits to the Qun and can be honored for doing so.  They have a body, which is guided by a handler.  Their mind?  Touches chaos and can't be trusted.

So they aren't treated like animals in the respect that they have no honor and are less than men.  They're treated more like schizophrenics who can't be trusted even when medicated.

Don't annoy them to much, or you'll end as (a) qamek

[The Angry One]

I often wonder what a mind screw it must be for these poor oafs when I crush them with an all female party.

Sarkamek... and while I'm against women in the kitchen (time for the men to say in there a few centuries!!) I endorse this delightful plan.

This is the real reason the Arishok has such big horns.

You just divided their reality through zero. They didn't die because of their wounds, but because of the sheer impossibility of what they just witnessed

Their immune to that poison stuff, so you're better off putting gaatlok in and watch the explosive dinner commence

They're immune to breathing it.
I don't care if you're a giant grey superman or not, eating the stuff can't be good.

Interesting, so maybe they would keep female Saarebas away from war then, though if the mind can't be trusted and body has to submit to a handler they might still not regard Saarebas as different genders but just as Saarebas

That reminds me of a scene in the 2nd Darksun game where you kill a bunch of illithids by overseasoning their food.

[mikx82]

so, will we ever see Sten go up against the Arishok? XD

According to Mr. Gaider above, they do use female Saarebas as, well, basically cannons, just like the males.

The Qunari are the most fun part of this entire game world, I tell you.

The Arishok's either dead or still running around looking for the relic like an idiot, so no.

I'd like to see that, albeit not THIS Arishok because he's in little tiny pieces.

[Maleficent]

To make Sten the new Arishok wouldn't he need a new name since ''Sten'' seems to be a rank of some sort theres a few of them around Kirkwall.I was excited when I saw a qunari called ''Sten'' only to find out I had already killed one outside the warehouse:((

Yes. His new name would be Arishok. The Qun is pretty simple in that case.

Well yes, his new name would be "Arishok". :happy:

[KnightofPhoenix]

We can call him Aristen though.

[Maleficent]
