From Gaider, "Mary tells me that the PC would technically just be Vashoth. Either way, it's a distinction that's only going to be relevant to the Qunari themselves. Everyone else will simply say "Qunari", no matter where you were born."
Strange, I heard from the devs that PC was going to be a Tal-Vashoth. But hey, I don't really care, perhaps your quote is a correction of what was said earlier.

Gaider in the post of his prior to the linked one said Tal-Vashoth, hence the "Mary tells me that the PC would technically just be Vashoth." part.
I know all of this already.Exactly, Qunari women never serve in the Antaam alongside their male kinsmen. They can however become spies and assassins, since that falls under the jurisdiction of the priesthood, so nearly all Qunari women (or female converts to the Qun such as Tallis) that we see outside of Par Vollen are members of the Ben-Hassrath. Further unlike the military, the priesthood is not exlusive only to one gender, but open to both men and women, so you can have male members of the Ben-Hassrath. If Hawke joined the Qun for instance, both genders could be assigned this role, something which is implied a few times by Qunari characters in DA2.
However, I disagree that their were females with the Arishok, since that's essentially two branches at work. He's the leader of the military, so he's got no responsibility towards any member of the Ben-Hassrath, nor any reason to have them aboard his ship. It's possible that they did go along and he simply didn't bother to save any of them from drowning (since it's not his role, so not his problem), but if some of the men in the Qunari compound are Ben-Hassrath who went along, why they didn't save any of their female comrades? It therefore makes more sense that it was solely a military operation.
Didn't the above poster already provide an official source straight from the developers own mouth (you can't get any more Word of God than Gaider), where he posted that he asked Mary Kirby about it and she gave the definition of Vashoth as being a "Qunari born outside the Qun."
or She was a Saarebas, who are taken on military missions occationly and happened to be a lone survivor of an attack. So she's found by a kind soul, they UNSOW her mouth and walks Thedas until she meats a Qunari Merc and bow china bow wow.So my point stands, it is interesting to know how Adaar's mother managed to escape. I think it is most likely she was from Rivain - it's much easier to escape there
Saarebas are trained in a way due to which they definitely can't function on their ownor She was a Saarebas, who are taken on military missions occationly and happened to be a lone survivor of an attack.

It would be an easy way to explain the QunQuisitor's magic if presentSaarebas are trained in a way due to which they definitely can't function on their own
And talvashoth treat them no better than qunari, so that would be sad
According to Mary Kirby they still keep them at leash and do not trust muchIt would be an easy way to explain the QunQuisitor's magic if present
How many Tal-Vashoth Saarebas did we see in DA2, two or three tops. So I have no idea how Vashoth or Tal-Vashoth treat the Saarebas, but there are not a lot of ways it could be worse than in the Qun.
Quite frankly, I don't care who the parents were or how they escaped. They threw their old lives away and created a new one. The rest I'd like to be left to the player's imagination.

That's probably the way it's going to go and largely the way I've pictured it so far.
My headcannon is that his parents fell in love (a big no-no) and his mother got pregnant. His father died fighting to give them a chance to escape.

You don't need mage parents to have mage children.
Vashoth doesn't mean they were never part of the Qun, just that they don't choose to outright oppose it like the Tal'Vashoth I thought?
So its likely his parents were Qunari back in Par Vollen/Seheron..Maybe the Vashoth Inquisitor was.. That or their parents abandoned the Qun together and were from Par Vollen / Seheron.
I'm pretty sure both Genetivi's codex entries and possibly WoT describe Vashoth as someone who left the Qun but hasn't turned to violence.

Yeah, this has gotten a bit confused. I think Vashoth is someone who left the Qun but those who violently oppose the Qun call themselves Tal-Vashoth.
I think qunquizzy is considered Vashoth because they are of the qunari race so the Qunari would view them as a part of their culture to some extent and not merely bas.
We have to remember that this is all just how the Qunari view our character, it really doesn't need to matter to the Inquisitor and it won't to anyone who isn't Qunari.
Maybe she was a miner and she told them "hey you know what has great gold veins? Somewhere far away. Send me there" and then ran as fast as she could.
Why does everyone assume the father was in love with the mother? Maybe the Qunari Inquisitor's mother became pregnant the same way every other qun folowing qunari woman becomes pregnant and decided to flee because she didn't want her baby to be taken from her.

It is also possible that neither of the parents were responsible for the qunquisitor leaving. Perhaps the trevinters had a spy sent there to kill the young qunari before they could become a threat. However for whatever reason the spy cannot bring themselves to kill this particular baby (convienient I know but it's just a theory). The trevinter spy takes the baby back to the mainland. The spy then may have traveled until s/he found a suitable family for the child.Because why not? Anything could have happen right?(This is my first post, please don't rip my head off)
Welcome to the forums! 
You're right, it seems strange that everyone is going with the starcrossed lovers and forbidden romance thing? 
As I said several pages back, it could just have easily been the Qunquisitor's grandparents or even great-grandparents who left the Qun (the Qunari have been in Thedas for quite some time), for reasons as minor as not liking their role. If you were stuck being a road-sweeper, chimney sweep, toilet attendant or guy driving around the corpse wagon forever, wouldn't you want to leave?
It's definitely not the most interesting answer, but that probably makes it the most likely IMO. 
Hopefully for each race, we get to dive deeper into their backgrounds and learn more about them. I find this very interesting.

Although that brings up that there must be villages of ex-qunari that don't get bothered by the followers of the qun otherwise how could the kids have stayed full qunari for several generations?
