On the end of one of their spears, which is why I need to introduce them to their place as ash on the wind first.

Oh that's splendid. I agree.

I'd leave the Qun rather quickly then lead a justifiable, ideological war of annihilation against it.

I would allow my Arishok decide my fate. Since I'm part of the Qun I've got no say so in my career.


That is not his role. The Tamassrans decide the professions of all Qunari.

 Unless I managed to escape, one of the victims of their mind rape governmantal programs.

What would you like to be/do if you were born in the Qun?

Whatever the Qun demands me to be.

And what do you think you actual position would be?

Whatever the Qun demands me to be.

What do people have against the Qun.  I mean it's not the greatest system imaginable but it's head and shoulders above anything else being offered.  It is a society without bigotry, where you are only judged by what you do rather than where you're from or who your parents are.  It is the only society where true social mobility exists rather than the illusion of mobility.  Best of all, to me anyway, it is a society where the egos of individuals are not valued above the well being of others.

YOU AREN'T PART OF THE QUN IF YOU'RE TAL-VASHOTH YOU DWEEBS.

That being said - there would be no place for me in the Qun.

But the mages my friend. The mages! Surely you have heard about the plight of the mages!

But to be serious. As someone who likes the qunari (I find them infinitely more interesting than the generic elves and dwarves of the setting) their society can look a bit unpleasant. Especially with the zeal they show for it.

But this is also the same world where the other major religion has led a genocidal crusade or two of its own. And where another practices blood rituals on its slave population. While the dwarf population is killing itself with its own rigid and inflexible caste system.

I won't even mention the Dalish because their society isn't worth placing with Tevinter, the Chantry, or Orzammer.

This funnily enough, makes the qun more appealing to me from a roleplaying point of view.

They also have mastered the art of sanitation. So at least if you live in a qunari city you won't be wallowing in your own filth my friends.

Well, I'm extremely strong-willed and I don't like being told what I can/can't do. Then again, I do follow laws and as many social conventions as I feel are justified so... I probably wouldn't be a Tal-Vashoth, not to begin with anyway. Most likely I'd have something to do with the Ben-Hassrath as I really don't have a violent nature and prefer diplomacy.

Nah... the mages are not really people, so who cares about them.

I find it funny that you denounce the dwarves for being "rigid and inflexible" (not if you chose Balen), but you still like the Qunari. (who are very known for their flexible views)

The Qunari are not only ruthless enough to give almost every other nation a run for their money, but are amazingly arrogant about their "religion", disgustingly so, even when compared to religions like the chantry or the dalish.(which are plenty arrogant in themselves)

That said, no doubt that they are more interesting than generic fantasy races, even if for me they will remain the antagonists.

If I were in the Qun? Hmm, I'd probably be a Merchant or maybe a blacksmith, someone who creates things, like clothing or weapons or armour.

There's a place for everyone in the qun. 

It may not be a particularly pleasant place, but there's a place for you.

Somewhere I'd have purpose and do good for everybody. Be that tiny gear in the grand machine that keeps making the world a better place.

I have no idea what my talents are. Possibly a tamassran, so I could focus on finding and nurturing the talents of others? =)

Eh, science or philosophy. There would be probably time, when I'd went full Tal-vashoth, but later realized it sucked and returned back home
So, I kind of hope I would be Ashkaari

IMO only IOnlySignIn and Xilizhra have answered this right . . . submit, overcome or die trying.

This. It does not matter if the Qun would have a fitting role for me which I'd find perfectly adequate. The system is anathema to my personal philosophy, and I see no justification for it unless the qunari as a race are more predisposed by biology to live in it. The existence of the Tal Vashoth appears to indicate this is not the case.

I know that the Qunari claim everyone has a place in the Qun, but somehow I doubt they'd have found one for me. I'd probably be dead.

That philosophy is a product of your enviroment. For the purpose of this exercise, you would have to imagine yourself brought up in Qunari society, with Qunari values.

They'd feed you to the goats. Remember, Qunari waste nothing.
