The burning of Athens!
Doesn't seem like it mattered in the longrun. Athens ultimately survived, Sparta dead.

It was the burning of a city even at the time that measured more then ten kilometers.
It was a bonfire you could supposedly see in bits of Asia minor

I was silly for thinking that sex would win out over carnage.

Iran isn't that bad...for where it is.
Its usually stable, has decent food, ignore the rampant heroin addiction and its practically homey

They need more heroin addicts..
I wonder if that was partly the CIA's doing. Turn a blind eye to all the Afghan poppy fields, so it makes it into Iran.

I'd be happy if there was a "Persia" again. Screw Iran though.

Also, Boom, I think Sex over Carnage might have been part of Alexander the Great's plan. He just got snuffed out. He ended up marrying some Persian woman or something.

They have problems but so does every society.
I personally think they should be left alone

I think they should be comatosed with mass heroin addiction, then fed hours of trashy Reality TV, and have a McDonald's built on every corner.

One thing I could like about Iran is that they'd probably kill you for having Qunari and dwarf romances in a game. Literal execution. 
Then again, the game itself might not even get past the earliest alpha stage over there.
And I'm sure there are any furry conventions in Iran either. So that's cool.

I'd of the opinion that Cassandra would find nothing wrong with Iran given Thedas itself has a central theocracy institution

I could survive in it myself. Kind of like what Bull says about Cullen and Cass being able to survive under the Qun.
But I'm still libertarian, so it'd get old. I'd combat it out of principle, not discomfort. And so would Cass. She cares about individuals as well. And she doesn't necessarily care about theocracy either. She wants to win over hearts and minds, and not just spread the Chant through force.

It would be something legendary and historic if Iran agreement with 5+1 works.
It would mend Iran's relations with the west.

Didn't think I'd step back into this thread seeing that it has very little to do with Cassandra and DA:I, but I thought that I should mention some historical facts. Sparta defeated Athens during the Peloponnesian war, the Delian League/Athenian Empire lasted only 27 years. Unfortunately it was the end of real classical antiquity. Ironically Sparta defeated Athens with the help of the Persians. It is said at the start of the Pelopiniasn war that the Athenians sent a message to Sparta saying that 'if we win we will destroy you utterly, we will not spare the women or the children, we will raze the entirety of Sparta to the ground, surrender now and this need not come to pass.' The Spartans sent back one word in their reply, "if". Athens never recovered from its defeat; it was weakened considerably and its second 'empire' was really a collective defense league (sort of like NATO) that was a response to the growth of both Sparta and Persia as the superior world super powers. Another irony is that Sparta 'the military state' did not destroy Athens like Athens said it would destroy Sparta.
So unfortunately it was Athens (the philosophers, poets, and intellectuals) that wound up dead first, not Sparta (military state, and a handful of historians) though eventually it did wind up 'dead' due to rowdy helots, Macedon and Rome etc...
