Unlike Leliana, I don't think Cassandra intends on remaining in a relationship if she becomes Divine.

Who rules the Free Marches?

 

Kirkwall has a Vicount.... Starkhaven has some type of royalty or something? I mean, wasn't Sebastian some sort of heir to the place?

 

I'm assuming Ostwick has a Vicount or something?

 

 

There's no monarchy I guess

 

No one rules the entire Free Marches. The Free Marches are sort of like ancient Greece, in that every city is its own independent nation. 

 

Ostwick is ruled by a Teyrn. They use the same titles for nobility as Ferelden, and one of the human Inquisitor's parents is a Bann.

[Br3admax]

I got the impression that the Free Marches were more like the ancient Greek city-states. Fully independent city-states, but they'll occasionally unify in alliances against outside threats to the region.

Are you implying most of the German Confederation was actually united? 

 

I don't think this is necessarily true. Alistair gets introduced as Cailan's brother or Maric's son quite a bit.

The Inquisitor only talks of their parents as still being alive.

I have a RP question that I'd like some opinions on:

 

At one point you can tell Josephine what your relationship with your parents are. The Trevelyan I'm playing loves her family but isn't as devout to the Maker as the rest of them and does not like the idea of either becoming a priest or a Templar. She rather become a knight, maybe a Chevalier like Ser Aveline (which is my logic for choosing the Champion spec rather than the Templar spec). Would it still make sense for this Trevelyan to reply "They'll listen to me" instead of "We aren't on good terms," kind of like a Cousland who wants to be a Grey Warden and Bryce, who is uncomfortable with the idea, will respect that and say they will look into it after the Blight?

I don't think anybody would say that, but the Bund was at least an organization: it had a leader, it had laws, it was used for stuff, and all of those things did actually matter even if it didn't qualify as a "state". The Marches have no such organization; the only time they appear to come together is the cultural/economic fair surrounding the Grand Tourney. Which is kind of like how those classical Greek states mostly hated each other and only came together for the various panhellenic religious/cultural events, like the Isthmian and Pythian Games.

The Greek comparison isn't great, but it's not bad. The comparison with the Bund is also not bad, but in a different way: it doesn't match the actual specific circumstances of the Marches all that well, but it does work on a systemic international-relations level. In the nineteenth century, the Bund was a crucial intermediary body: it could not unite and threaten opponents, but it separated the British and Russian hegemonic spheres, a neutral center that helped to reduce tensions and diffuse diplomatic initiatives. I think that it would not be unreasonable to suggest that the Marches could play a similar role in separating northern and southern Thedas, preventing the Ferelden/Orlais and Tevinter/Qunari dynamics from getting too close together and causing even more war.

[Br3admax]

Well no comparison's going to be exact. I still prefer it to Greece or the Balkans, so meh. I care more about their history and their culture than the fact that there was never some random dude who was supposed to be in charge of it, but never actually was.

Eirene: what of the comparrisson between medieval/renaissance Italian city states and the Free Marches, as that is what I think of when I think of the Free Marches.

I hope that is true. I prefer to be nobility from powerful countries/cities.

That is just great lol.

I wonder if Alistair attends the cheese races? lol

Ostwick:

 

-The Qunari landed near Ostwick to invade other free marcher cities and this caused Ostwick to build a large wall and always remember that (i don't know if the Qunari actually attacked or not)

-The leader of Ostwick is called a Teryn, like in Ferelden

-The circle of magi in Ostwick is a sedate place and did not choose sides during the rebellion, staying neutral.

-It is part of a super secret Thedas Illuminati plot with the other cities home to noble heroes.

- Citizens of Ostwick butter up giant cheeses and race them

 

 

 

Where this is coming from? I didn't hear (or can't remember ) anything related to this.

[ctd757]

Does the Mage human share any family stories

[Cypher0020]

Interesting. I mean, I think even the quizzy can say they'll only unite under a massive attack

 

I like how they're with separate rulers

 

 

so a monarchist country like Ferelden or Antiva, can only make deals with them one at a time yes?

[d-boy15]

They share it with Josie.

[Lulupab]

The Mage Trevelyan caused a bit of scandal though, and probably damaged chantry relations. Its always a big scandal when nobles have mage children.

[Lulupab]

Considering their history, and the general medievalness of the setting, they seem much more like the Italian city states to me.

 

Greek states would be better example. Not based on rich history but on the way city states work on Free Marches and the fact that one state became very stronf abd broke away from free marches (Nevarra like Macedonia)

[Otter-under-the-mountain]

Or Nevarra like Venice. Or Sicily. Or the Papal States, though that one's a bit more of a stretch.

 

However, the actual culture of the Free Marches seems to be based more on being the Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, and (to some degree) Brittany to Ferelden's England.

[Blackout62]

I would like to find out as much as possible about human inquisitor's family and city they reside in. So far this is all i know:

 

-Their motto is "Modest in temper, bold in deed"

-They apparently have a cool coat of arms

-Dorian says the Trevelyans are related to House Pavus of Tevinter (i also heard the Trevelyans are in general a cadet branch of a -Tevinter noble family, maybe it's Pavus i don't remember)

-Josephine's family the Montilyet's have met them.

-The Trevelyans hold popular summer balls in the Free Marches

-They are the 7th (or 8th) most illustrious family in Ostwick

-They have close ties with the chantry and templar older

-It is a large clan with several blood related relatives spread all around

-They are banns.

 

 

Little does the Inquisitor know that assisting Corypheus is the Trevelyan Inquisitor 2nd cousin long thought dead, the traitorous spy Alec Trevelyan.

[ctd757]

Lol I wish bio ware and ea would make a GOT game. I know one just came out but I mean a full good game

[draken-heart]

For some reason, I can't help but imagine that the trevelyans (or the bloodline anyways) is on the throne or something. I think it is a large family?

[helpthisguyplease]

I wonder now if house Trevelyan is not the most ilustrous familly in that city if you chose the origin for your Inquisitor to be part of the house. I mean that just give power and influence as the father of the most powerful person in Southern Thedas.

Hearing that cheese conversation about Ostwick is the first time I've regretted not recruiting Sera.
