hmmm

 

I'm an Israeli.

in hebrew Kossith is a rude slang to describe a very attractive female or "non-manly" male

[IAMTHEOVERLORD]

Really? That's awesome! Reminds me of Batarians in Mass Effect. In a different language (french I think) Batarian is really close to the term for bastard.

XD Honestly? Best response ever.

 

Lmao omg so glad u liked it I couldn't stop laughing

No kossith has been seen in game, only qunari and tal vashoth. Unless the Qun predates the First Blight the kossith probably have horns, becasue ogres originally came from broodmothers made from a kossith colony in the Korcari Wilds that was wiped out during the First Blight.

 

There are probably darkspawn in Par Vollen. If you talk to Sten about the problems facing Par Vollen he'll mention monsters in the shape of men (he's talking about tal vashoth). The Warden can ask him whether he's talking about darkspawn, and Sten will reply that no emissary, no matter how cunning, can pass as a person.

 

EDIT: Also, if you take the Iron Bul with you when raiding the dwarven tombs in the Hissing Waste, he'll say that Par Vollen has dwarven ruins. That probably means the Deep Roads reach there.

Very interesting yes yes hmmmmmmmmmm.

 

An I wouldn't be surprised by the ruins I would bet the dwarfs were there before the Kossith an Qunari were

[Kurogane335]

I've a theory about the Qunari having Living Weapons created by the Kossith from across the ocean (they aren't inhabiting the North of Thedas, since everything we know about them place them in the East, beyond the sea). In that regard, the first Ogres were created by female Horned Giants being captured when the Kossith brought them on Thedas when they founded a settlement in the Korcari Wilds.

 

My personal belief is that the Kossith society was even more unequal than Tevinter and they used the "Qunari" as cannon fodder who were not considered as people. Slave-Warriors in a sense. At some point, a Kossith named Koslun grew disenchanted with his society and probably tried to free the Living Weapons, thus creating the Qun to subvert or at least control the bouts of fury which had been ingrained into the Horned Giants by that time. Which would explain why the Qun is so strict, why it had been accepted by the first Qunari (it gave them more freedom than they had, "made" them People and allowed them to control their inner rage) and why the idea of equality above all is so important in it (being a rejection of a very unequal society, it would make sense for Koslun to devise something so opposed to the Kossith society).

 

Now, as for why Corypheus says that they are a mistakes, it is probably only rage and anger leading him to insult a Vashoth Inquisitor. But if what he said was true, then perhaps there had been various "breed" of Living Weapons, and the Qunari that we know were perhaps one of the oldest, seen as somewhat defective but still useful by the Kossith.

 

All in all, I don't think that the Qunari were created by the Imperium. Creating a race is an event so great that even with the Blights and the rise of Andraste, traces of it would remain in the North. And it is specified in the Par Vollen page on the wiki that the horned beings there are not the Qunari (which implies some physical divergences between the ancient murals and the Qunari themselves, I guess). They were probably infused with huge doses of dragon blood by magic and not simple ingestion, and I think that magic was of primary importance during their first generations, with the Kossith probably tinkering them to obtain the desired traits. Which could explain their mistrust, even hatred, of magic.

So unless ogres live 300+ years, the ogres you see in Origins aren't born from female kossiths, but female qunaris instead. So no, we most likely haven't seen sort-of kossith as Skuid suggests.

Ogres are sustained by the taint like any other darkspawn so they can live forever until someone kill them I think, so it is possible that some of them are from the original kossith. But, as you suggested, it is also possible that all of the original ogres are dead.

 

Also the arishok looks different from any other qunari and similar to an ogre so maybe he is more similar to the kossith as well .
