Yeah I think it could be Nevarra or Tevinter. Would be a change from just being Feralden.
On a side note, does anyone else think it is strange that the guard for the sword is attached to the scabbard and not the hilt?TexasToast712 wrote...
It is on the hilt. Look again.
Left-handed protagonist confirmed!
How can you say that the protag is left-handed when he is holding the sword with his right hand???

The Anderfels seem to be based off the Ordenstaat, or the territories in modern-day Eastern Europe controlled by the Teutonic Order (hence, "Ordenstaat" or "Order's State"). While the Teutonic knights, as one could glean from their name, were German, the population they ruled was a mish-mash of all the people who lived along the shores of the Baltic Sea. Replace the Teutonic Knights with the Wardens and it's a pretty clear parallel. German was the lingua franca of this region of the world, but it wasn't exactly "German" as we know it.StreetMagic wrote...

FAIK Nevarra's only connection with Spain is that it's name is somewhat similar to the historical Spanish region of Navarre. Historically, Nevarra seems to be more like Prussia than anything else. If we take the Free Marches to be like the independent German states pre-unification, one got larger than the others and became a regional power that had designs on uniting Germany and also began fighting and winning wars with France.
That being said, from the stuff in WoT, while the Pentaghast family was known for hunting dragons to near-extinction, Nevarran heraldry seems to have no dragons at all: their national symbol is a skull wearing a crown. No, if you were going to pick a nation to which dragons were important, it'd have to be the Tevinters.
It'll be interesting to get confirmation, since the Anderfels have been explicitly made out to be the Germanic territory. I am only basing my idea of Spain on the historical Navarre though. Perhaps it's something else entirely.
The notion of a unified Germany is a very recent idea, something existing maybe only for a few centuries at most. Germany was for a long time much like Italy in that it was more of a geographic designation that grouped a variety of independent states that shared a common language and not much else. Go back to the year 1400 to Venice and a man would say he is Venetian long before he was "Italian", likewise, go to Hamburg in the same time period and a man would say he was a Hamburger before he was German (or even a Hanse before he was German).

Because of its history as a bunch of independent states, what is "German" culture is somewhat hard to define. The Anderfels represents some bits of German culture. The Free Marches another group of bits, as does Nevarra, being a former Marcher state that became much more powerful. Comparing its history to the history of Prussia shows a bunch of clear parallels.StreetMagic wrote...
Spain has plenty of warrior legacy. Especially in swordsmanship.
The reason why I say Anderfels is German is because David Gaider already touched on that. "German in character, maybe a bit more on the Visigoth side." I don't know. It's news to me that Nevarra is German now.
Chances are those background stories would have to point to the same nation so they only have to hire one voice actor for the PC- with the exception of Ferelden and the Marches because they inexplicably have the same accent.Rawgrim wrote...
I think they said we would get several background choices, ala ME? So Nevarran dragon hunter family could be one of those?

The hand you see is the right hand. However, that's not the hand that's holding the sword. It is holding the sheath. The hilt is on the righthand side of the picture.
At first glance the sheath looks like the hilt, but if you look at the blade, you can see it.
i thought the blade is elvenish (elven blades almost never have hilt`s) or even a ceremonial dagger and plus on the left side of his arm i thought that was the pummell of the grip
I would also prefer not to hunt dragons,since I think they're badass.

@General Distress
Maybe i have a better theory what if the character on the pic isn`t the protag but maybe some divine person who is giving the sword to the protag thus making the protagonist draw the sword from the other side

That would be kind of awkward with the voice protagonist, due to each country having different accents.

I like the dark hair and darker skin tone they seem to have.
Same.
OP, While I would like to be Nevarran, I wouldn't want to be related to Cassandra.
I want to romance her with at least one of my Inquisitors if she is a companion.

Possible, but being "from" somewhere doesn't mean you share the way they speak. For example, one of my good friends was born in England and came to America when he was 6, he's 20 now and has not a trace of English in his accent. You could be from, say, Nevarran but come to live in Starkhaven when you were a child and so have that Starkhaven Scottish voice instead of Navarren Saxon.

Being related to Cassandra is a stretch but is a possibility. I highly doubt the pc will be related to her because if Bioware is smart, they will listen to their fans and allow a Cassandra romance. I still believe the pc will be Nevarran.
