Those are gnomes. Don't ever compare the two near dwarves, they really don't like it...

 

"Do I look like I spend my entire day sitting around, fishing near lily ponds, watching my beard grow while I wear a dopey hat? No! I build giant stone bridges across rivers of lava, while cultivating facial hair that you could lose a badger in, whilst wearing a helmet!"

 

Gnomes are like bingo halls and dwarves are like biker bars...

 

 

The german name for them is "Gartenzwerg" - "garden dwarf". Everbody else probably noticed the disgrace that this comparison heaped upon the awesome dwarves and promptly changed it to gnomes!

That is awesome and one of the many reasons I need to learn German! Although it's funny that while they started out as being somewhat like dwarves, they ended up being known for having magic, something that all other dwarves lack?

 

Enchantment?

Same in french, these "things" are called "nain de jardin" (garden dwarf), so the worst insult you could come up with for a dwarf would be "lawn ornament" rather than "Bronto *ss licker".

"Ensorcelled Templars.... interesting."

 

 

"Sounds a lot like home, what she says of the bardic arts. And damn she's beautiful. Deadly too, which I love. But so is Morrigan. Dammit I'm falling for them both. "

 

 

"You'd be a fool to believe an old woman wouldn't pose a threat, Alistair -- particularly one who lives out in the wilder country."

 

 

"Cailan what in the Ancestors' name are you doing.... You're ****** up the battle plan. It's bad enough you demanded Loghain give you a battle where you could charge when this is a bloody fortress, but you're not even trying..."

 

 

"Damn! They've overrun what few guards and hounds we managed to save! The mage too! Damaeus, Amalia, get the others and rally together!"

 

*cue arrow hitting Xanthos and Flemeth appearing not long after*

 

(In Xanthos' verse, he had Wardens from all the origin stories (sometimes multiple per origin) that he met at Ostagar. the mage is just a Red Shirt positioned on the steps leading to the top floor so he could use flame blast on any Darkspawn that came).

 

 

"With a horde this strong and a battle plan this fucked.... there's no hope of victory no matter how hard we fight. Still, if this is to be my end, I will take as many of the Darkspawn with me as I can."

 

 

"My heart is heavy with sorrow that Father's health is failing. I must return to Orzammar to see him. Bhelen will not take my throne, not after his treachery. I trust in Lord Harrowmont to keep it deadlocked... and Caellach, Nerav, and Denek to rally some support for me when the time is right."

 

Side note: I love how the Elf just stopped by to listen to our conversation. I have no idea who he is but he must've found two Dwarves conversing endlessly fascinating.

 

 

"He's so cute and vicious. I hope he survives. I've heard tales and legends of the Mabari and am envious of Damaeus' hound Cormag and Amalia's hound. If he could be imprinted to me..."

 

 

"Darius, have you ever seen the Golems before?"

 

"Nope. Some of my Carta buddies though have seen some out in the Deep Roads. Seem to still fight the Darkspawn."

 

"Hmph.... this one's smaller then the ones in the Shaperate, but it's well made nonetheless. Certainly seems like it could move far more easily then the bulky ones we have. And the crystals.... fascinating."

"But I'm still on your mind? You're so sweet Leske."

 

 

"Beraht sure knows how to work the system."

 

 

"It's easy for you to say, you cold-hearted ******. But hold a baby in your arms and tell me it deserves to die a cold death full of suffering and hunger.... and then you can talk to me about how all of this is right."

 

[TEWR]

I should pop in over there, though my knowledge of the Tevinter societal structure is limited.

[Cespar]

I role play the dwarves that are walking around Skyhold, members of the Carta that I brought into the inquisition. *Random role playing idea.*

Now I want to reply DAO, and have the hair style that Leske has. *Sigh.*

[Cespar]

Actually Dwarf thread and Tevinter thread should form an alliance tbh.

The Tevinters does see dwarves as more than merchants or carta thug.

[TEWR]

You'll be alright. Besides mundane Altus, Dwarves are the only non-mages with status in the Imperium. 

 

Oh that much I know. The Ambassadoria happen to advise on trade contracts and are treated as honored emissaries. It's more along the lines of how the Ambassadoria itself functions within Tevinter politics that I would need more info on (supposedly they're more like lobbyists then anything else, according to the wiki).

 

I suppose though an alliance of sorts between Tevinter and Orzammar led by my DN could go a long way -- provided there's caution involved. Dwarves may be respected, but Tevinter can be sinister (though this is true of other nations)

[Cespar]

Proud members of the Ambassadoria are respected citizens of the Imperium tbh.

It may or may not have anything to do with the Lyrium that they can acquire. That would put in mages/Templars in the pockets of the dwarves. They pretty much hold the foundation of the balance of Thedas, but no one is willing to help them in the deep road. Hopefully, arrangements can be made if we do go to Tevinter.

You would need to restore the relationship between Kal-Sharok and Orzammar, before you move on to Tevinter and Orzammar. I don't think the Kal-Sharok dwarves will appreciate Tevinter trading with their enemies. That would hurt Tevinter relationship with the dwarves near them than ones that are farther away. I would want to keep my alliances near.

I found this to be especially funny with a female Brosca, like he's also implying she's no a lady either. =p

Xanthos Aeducan has taken steps to rekindle the relationship between the two nations:

 

first by discussing trade contracts between them that Endrin, in his traditionalist folly, put aside. Then he sent Renvil Harrowmont as an ambassador. Then he began to fund an expedition to Kal-Sharok (to say nothing of Nasir's inside information on what happened with Kal-Sharok and the Venatori). This was all within the first three years of his reign, in fact (five at most. I dunno. Maybe even less then three. While I always knew Xanthos would rekindle the relationship between the two I had never given it a full examination beyond trade and Renvil, primarily because we knew so little about Kal-Sharok).

 

Not that this leads to a perfect relationship, but it's a start.

*stands up*

 

Greetings to the old allies of the Imperium. As a Magister and member of the Magisterium I welcome you to take part in negotiations between the Dwarven kingdoms and Tevinter Imperium. The Imperium sees that the convergion of Orzammar and Kal-Sharok would benefit all parties, Imperium included. Topside lyrium trade should be in the hands of the Imperium and for that we are willing to provide our allies with substantial military support in reclaiming the Deep Roads and old Thaigs. If southern nations or the Chantry should threaten Orzammar with military force for their trade decision Tevinter Imperium is willing to show both economical and military support to counter their threats too.

 

Despite malign gossip, the Imperium will stand for its allies. Always.

What the **** is happening here now?

What the **** is happening here now?

I dunno, I work for a few hours and apparently the imperium is trying to stake a claim to us. I'm a Freemarcher, thanks. The imperium can stay in its own borders

[LostInReverie19]

I decided to make my first ever male dwarf. I never made any that I was happy with in Origins, but I think I'm happy with this guy.

And yay for eyes that are actually brown.  

[Uccio]

Did I mention a monthly delivery of the best wines from the Imperium for the members of the Assembly, free of charge, should we come to agreement over the lyrium trade?

[Cespar]

I want to reply to you guys statement, but I'm in class right now!
