Yes, you'd want the larger species to be the mother.
 

Female lp often need extra medical attention when it comes to pregnancy and labor. Cesareans are often mandatory.

oh that makes sense now that i think about it

Maybe Qunari like Sten are half breeds with the Rivaini ancestors who were indigenous to the island chains in the Boeric ocean north, that the Qunari conquered long ago. Maybe the rare genetic comes from the humans, cause Sten looks a lot like a Rivaini human.

Unlikely. The Qunari do not allow breeding between races.

I doubt that pregnancy is viable. The Qunari are way too large. It would most likely cause some unfortunate side effects to a human mother.

 

If this were a concern 5'1" women would not be able to have babies with 6'10" men.  Which does happen.  The size of the adult has very little to do with the size of the baby.  With humans, the primary concern is that the baby's head be small enough to fit through the pelvic arch, which is likely not to be a problem assuming humans and qunari can interbreed.

If qunari do turn out to be elves who got mixed with dragons I'd be amused to see if their hybriding has the same results as elves (I know just a theory but I kinda like it)

 

so qunari +elf = elf child

qunari + human = human child

qunari + dwarf = ????

 

Could explain why their controlled breeding doesn't allow interacial ones. Doing so would slowly dwindle down the numbers of the big horned race.

Elves having sex with dragons?....

Wonder why so many assume that it would be a qunari male and human female first, and the difficulties that could be, before considering a female qunari and human male?

 

Anyways, doubtful I think. Dwarves are almost essentially just short humans, and those two have trouble, let alone something as exotic as the qunari.

OK.  Had it.  Can someone please change the title of this thread to read Half-qunari.  Half-breed is a derogatory term used to describe people of mixed racial heritage and I can't help it no matter how hard I try.  I'm not offended, in a sense, because ignorance, rather than malice, is what's going on.  It's just kind of like somebody using the N-word.

 

P.S.  Sorry, didn't mean to derail the thread.  It's a problem with semantics that is easily remedied, and I'm sure most people never knew there was something to be offended about.  Forget I said anything.

I can't fix it i would if i could

God, 6'10? Saying this as someone who is 5'1, I don't think I would even want to mate with someone of that size. My guy is nearly 6'2 and he looms over me like a redwood. Nearly 7' tall is horrifying in concept. 

 

I believe there is some disagreement between some doctors and midwives about the size of babies and delivery. I think it more or less depends on the position of the baby, such as being transverse, simply because if a woman's pelvis is too small, it would be difficult to manipulate the baby's position safely. Babies have soft, pliable skulls that can elongate. It's the shoulders that usually cause complications. 

 

Six foot ten, though. Scary. What is the average qunari male's height and what is the average female elf height, anyone know?

[Sylvius the Mad]

Aren't Qunari already hinted as being Dragon-kin?

[drake heath]

I doubt qunari and any of the other races are compatible.

 

Humans, elves, dwarves, are conceivably within the same genus (or whatever the taxinomic word is) and can cross breed.

Post-DA2 Qunari likely aren't.

 

Now of course, this is fiction, so biology doesn't have to mean anything like in Star Trek where humans can mate with Klingons despite being a completely different species from another planet.

This is just my personal opinoin, not of any merit or source but to my understanding, Elves have the least dominant genes. I believe it was confirmed that anybody who breeds with an elf just gets whatever race that the elf bred with as the outcome. IE if a Dwarf mated with an elf, they'd get a dwarf or maybe a taller dwarf? XD And we've already seen elf/human mates, ala Feynriel. I think an Elf and a Qunari would just result in a shorter Qunari. But i could be wrong if breeding between them would be even possible. Overall, I think anybody can mate with anybody and that it all comes down to whether genes allow the adoption of certain features. 

 

In my head cannon I always thought the dominate genes from most to least was, Qunari, Human, Dwarves, then of course Elves. But that's just how I see it, I don't have any evidence or anything. I think Qunari's have the most dominate genotype because they ahve the most prominent features out of all the races. So I would assume if anybody bred with a Qunari they'd at the very least retain the darker skin and maybe even have horns since my reasoning dictates that they have the most dominate genes.
