We know there was a mention of the Qunari possibly being related to dragons (similar horns are a dead give a way ) so what are your theories? on how they relate to each other? are they half dragons whatnot. discuss.

[The Ascendant]

Sorry to disprove your theory, but Aureilan Titus from the comics was referring to the Therins i.e. Alistair and Maric not the Qunari because of their ancestor Calenhad was a Reaver who drank Dragon Blood and that was passed down to all his descendants.

Are you sure? 

I seem to recall a line where Titus was mowing down Qunari soldiers and said, "Dragonfire could have been their birthright. Now, it kills."

Check the wiki. They clarified his evil monologue.

Unfortunately, there are no citations on Titus' page (if that's what you're talking about)

Since anyone can update the wiki, I'm taking the "clarification" as more speculation until proven otherwise

[Aulis Vaara]

It should also be noted that humans came to Thedas from the same direction as the qunari, which is from beyond Par Vollen. While this doesn't prove a connection, it does allow for one.

They might well be a magically altered humanity. Someone had a great theory about this a while ago, but I can't seem to find it now.

[SerCambria358]

I mean they have Horns, claws, and are massive. Horns alone can make this theory legitimate, we'll have to wait for more support

[ISpeakTheTruth]

Wait so you think they're related because they both have horns?

 

THAT"S RACIST!

[Chari]

Very plausible

[Former_Fiend]

Is it possible? Sure. I don't know that I'd call the evidence for it very solid, but subtle foreshadowing isn't a bad thing.

 

I don't know how relevant it is, at any rate.

Behold! A four-horned fluffy black dragon.

Obviously a far more evolved and superior example.

Makes sense I say. It has horns.

And lo and behold that great and terrible serpent, he who is Satan and the Devil has risen from the pit to make war upon God.

Might not be me, but I once brought forth the theory that there is a single "starting" race for all the races on Thedas and different event caused them to change over thousands and thousands of years. I did start with everyone was an elf though, but starting with humans could work as well.

 

Elf->Dwarf: exiled group that went underground and were affected by lyrium exposition causing them to lose access to the Fade. Being underground affected their growth.

 

Elf->Human: magical epidemic that made them lose their elvenness (if you start with everyone was human, than the elf were magically improved humans, but the magical effects are weakening with time or not constant)

 

Elf->Qunari: Dragon cultist that mutated because of all the dragon blood and maybe magic to try to look like dragons. This increased their desire to kill and affected their body. Koslun turned them away from that path, but not before they destroyed everything in their homeland.

If it was not you, I'm pretty sure you were discussing your idea in the same thread, because I remember that "destroying their homeland" part.

And yes, I think it makes more sense that the Qunari came from humans and not from elves (due to both coming (back?) to Thedas from the same place), but humans themselves might well come from elves, I just don't see any hints or evidence for that.

Coolest sheep ever! Er I mean dragon.

That does make the most sense. It's impossible highly unlikely that a bunch of highly similar humanoid species evolved on one planet independent of the others.

 

Then again, perhaps biological evolution doesn't occur at all on Thedas. I wanna know what came first, the horned qunari or the hornless.

Unless reproduction with living fertile offspring between all the races is possible because of magic (even if you are non-mages), it requires a close biological relation between all the species. Closer than horse and donkey (which do not produce fertile offspring)...

 

Most fantasy settings ignore these things though.

I wonder how goats fit into this theory, seeing as they also have horns. Or bulls. They're pretty massive and have horns. Plus they're bipedal! They just traded those wings in for being tasty. 

[MisanthropePrime]

One thing people have to keep in mind is that the Qunari originated on another continent from Thedas. Who knows if they even have dragons there?

 

 

Also, the fact of the matter is Qunari are mammals and dragons are some kind of eusocial reptile. And not even mammal-like reptiles like a synapsid, judging by the dragon skulls we've seen. Qunari are no closer to dragons than any other hominid. IMO.

[Steelcan]

convergent evolutionary features

[HunterX6]

I thought they were more related to some kind of old demons who manifested in thedas along time ago until the appearance they are now.

[themageguy]

Actually when I first read it, I thought Titus was referring to the Qunari being able to wield that kind of magic.
Perhaps the Qunaris origins are somehow draconic.....
Either way, I think a qunari Reaver would be a magnificent sight to behold!

Their horns are clearly different, that much shouldnt have to be explained. Im really not in the mood to sit here and discuss horn variety in animals

[thats1evildude]

Are you sure?

He could just as easily been talking about the Theirins.

 

I think people put too much into Titus' cryptic claptrap. The man couldn't say two words without sounding like some carnival fortune teller.
