I'd tell the Qunari I'd support them if they reevaluated their stance on mages, and I'd tell the Tevinters I'd support them if they reevaluated their stance on slavery.

As is... neither is really great. Tevinter still has the ghosts of their past and many who want the old ways back again, while the Qunari makes the Templars look like Mary Poppins. Both have their good points, but those have been downplayed in the games to focus on their most negative aspects.

Definitely the Tevinter's but I'd want them to cut down on the slavery ****. The Qunari is the biggest threat to Thedas. Havent they had like 3-4 exalted marches on them already?

Three Exalted Marches were led against the Qunari, yes.

That's a tough one, if there cannot truly be peace between them, then I go for Tevinter(or I'll just stay as neutral as possible cause I understand the Qunari, just don't like what they do to Mages)

And the Qunari are still going strong. I'd definitely help the Tevinter's

Tevinter. While major aspects of Tevinter society bother me, the Qunari philosophy is wholly repugnant, and I can always put Tevinter to the sword later.

True. If there was a group that didn't need my PC's support, regardless, it would definitely be the Qunari. They have the troops, infrastructure, resources and technological advantage that makes them a sleeping juggernaut.

Tevinter, easily, regardless of Origins of the character.

We have the word of Fenris, and maybe the actions of one little magister to support the theory that tevinter isn't a nice place.

We have everything they did across two games, and everything they said (and often blatantly lied about) for proof that the Qunari are a force of evil beyond redemption.

But honestly - I could deal with evil. I'd try out evil once or twice. But I'm simply unable to comprehend (or well, get into it to the point of roleplaying) the state of mind that a person would have to be in, to consciously support the qunari over anything, including death by torture.

To be fair, by the end of the Third New Exalted March the Qunari had been pushed back to one northern city in Rivain and Par Vollen. They even lost Seheron. However, the island was recovered by 8:58 Blessed. And that's how things currently stand. The Tevinter Imperium and the Qunari are currently at a stalemate.

That said, the Qun is a sleeping monster waiting to be awakened from it's slumber. I believe Tevinter has yet to see the full might the Qunari can muster.

Not to mention that the Qunari we're dealing with are just a splinter-faction that left their original homeland.

So my choices are, support tyrannical oppression and religious zealotry, or support tyrannical oppression and power hungry madmen. Yeah, great choices there.

My personal theory is that the Qunari were actually forcibly ejected from their homeland, specifically for their beliefs.

Which would actually make them significantly more interesting in terms of narrative, especially if put in a wh40k-style empire of mand kind of situation.

Tervinter, because if Thedas had to go to war against one of them eventually, Tervinter would be an easier kill.

I'd flatten Tevinter, but I'm not helping the Qunari conquer the world.

Tough choice, I can't support Tevinter in good conscience, because the Maker hates mages, but I can hardly side with a nation of godless heathens either.

OOOOOOOOOOOOO never thought of that! WOWZA. 

That would make since. Then there's a whole land of regular Kossith? :o

That's a good theory, but: "The Qunari are recent arrivals to Thedas,
having come by warships three centuries ago from an unknown eastern
land across the Northern Ocean. The contact with it was lost during the Storm Age."

They're an expedition team.

Neither of those links give me any information about why the Qunari have come. They have never claimed to be an expedition team, they've never claimed to be anything but a violent, conquering force.

If they lost contact with their homeland, why do they make no effort to seek it out, so as to gather re-inforcements to end the stalemate with Tevinter?

If the people of their homeland follow the Qun, why was the Tome of Koslun, the most precious relic of their religion, sent off with them? It should've been kept in their homeland, and protected.

Adding magic to the strenght of the Qunari would certainly make them valuable allies, especially if the ultimate goal of this alliance, as I understand it, would be to wipe out the more bothersome nations of Thedas like Ferelden or Orlais (after defeating the Tevinter...)

Qunari because they sexy

Yeah, and after you conquer them you can have them for your harem. Cause you ain't getting them any other way.


That's a good point you make in favor of Tevinter's slavery... I never thought about it that way...
Plus, Qunari have no cookies!:o

...But, they have STEN!
Qunari FTW!
