Especially in the case of qunari and the war between Tevinter and Par Vollen?

[vertigomez]

They could be slaves. At least, there were qunari slaves in WoT. Or some kind of diplomatic envoy with a measure of immunity..?

[Dieb]

I suspect the usual: Former slaves or mercenaries.

 

Or they just come up with a travelling background for everyone.

 

Or it's the Inquisitor.

Former non-mage slave Elf\Qunari\Dwarf as a Big Boss  in Tevinter, which has enough power to stop Ya-Know-Who and solve the Qunari issue, huh?...

Must be the forbidden arts of the ancient plotmagic.  

 

(And here I thought that QunQuizitor and ElfQuizitor had some problems with the overall lore and common sense.)

Tevinter probably loves the idea of the Tal Vashoth. Either keeping some around to insult the Qun or as exotic slaves & status symbols. What greater weapon is there than to turn an enemy to your cause after all? So while conditions for them are probably understandably terrible & you'd expect them to still receive plenty of hate from Tevinter, there is likely a good number of them living there.

Well, there was that concept art of a qunari slave trussed up like a draft horse... >____>

Good opportunity to reintroduce origin stories like in DAO.

How those origin stories would connect with the main story? No idea

[Cute Nug]

Doesn't matter. Just give them amnesia and drop them in the plot in the same Merc armor like DAI.

They'd fit in easily enough as slaves/mercs.

 

Anyone know if elves who have magic can become magisters? I know Fenris' sister was supposedly gonna become apprenticed to a magister but Fenris' former owner kinda seemed like douchnozzle so I wouldn't be surprised if he lied.

I am actually not really German -I am flattered though- but Google enabled me to explain: We're having quite a situation over at the Drinquisition; I apologize. It's very serious, as usual. It somehow involved Rick Astley, as usual. Things needed to be done.

I am wondering if the Inquisitor is actually looking/knows the next protagonist or it will be an important NPC with our main character tying in somewhere. If the Inquisitor knows the next main protagonist, it most likely some one with some kind of important background.

They start out as slaves.

There are not dwaf slaves. At the most dwaves can be wanted by the state but they are by law not slaves.

There as never been Qunari character. They are Vashoth. And since we have seen in Inquisition that they bring next to nothing of interest (contrary to the Dalish but just like the city elves) to the story. All in all, if the next game is entirely on the side of Tevinter, then I don't think a Vashoth character would work.

Could always take the tes approach.... not that I would be in favor of that, at all.

I think they can in theory, but it's sorta like elven Templars... not terribly likely. >___>

From what I've read, being apprenticed to a magister doesn't necessarily mean you want to take seat in the Magisterium. It just means you want the best teacher there is. It's an esteem thing.

[myahele]

There's probably gonna be an event in which they'll get a "special status" within the area such as: Warden and Herald. Due to that special statues your race will more or less be hand waived/ ignored besides a few comments here and there

They could be the Inquisitor, and the Inquisitor can bludgeon their way through any obstacle!

Elven Mages in Tevinter can be of the Laetan (I think I spelled that correctly) class. Lower-class Mages. While below Altus' and Magisters, they are still considered above the Soporati simply because of their magical ability/talent. As you may know, that's kind of a big deal in Tevinter. 

 

Dorian mentions that many Soporati of Tevinter have high hopes and dreams that someday their children or grandchildren could be born Mages and be elevated on the Tevinter social hierarchy. I'm assuming this applies to Elves as well.

 

In fact we get confirmation in DA:2 from Feynriel that Elven Mages are also acknowledged in Tevinter. Maybe not to the extent of Humans, as inherent racism is still very much prevalent in Tevinter as it is any nation of Thedas, but they can achieve a moderate social status.

 

Any non-mage Elves will either be Soporati (free non-mages) or Servitus (slaves). It would make for a cool origin story.

 

As for a Qunari, I don't see it happening. Dorian himself said that Qunari aren't allowed to just walk through the streets of Tevinter. Even if they are honored guests or Tal-Vashoth, it's not allowed.

I've tried reading the wikipedia on the matter but it states nothing that I could see about whether or not elves can become Magisters so it is neither confirmed nor denied as a theory. It may be that the writers have not yet decided on that point or that the detail is simply missing per oversight though it seems an odd oversight to make. Personally, I believe you are correct in that they can in theory but it is terribly likely as you say.

 

Additionally and according to the Wikipedia; "Young mages often aspire to become a magister's apprentice because it offers them the best chance of ascending to the rank of magister." - The article "Magister" on the Wikipedia.

 

It seems that a magister's apprentice can ascend to be appointed magister but my guess is that they have to be evaluated and considered before that can happen unlike a magister's appointed or heir by blood who inherits the seat in the Magisterium upon the death of their predecessor.

 

As a couple of interesting notes, the Imperial Divine as well as every Grand Cleric of the Imperial Chantry apparently holds a seat in the Magisterium and the Imperial Archon can be either male or female. The current Archon Radonis allegedly has a soft spot for cats.

Especially in the case of qunari and the war between Tevinter and Par Vollen?

 

Elven slave or freedom fighter. Qunari infiltrator or prisoner.

 

Or the origin story might begin outside of Tevinter. In which case you could be Dalish, city elf, servant, or if Qunari you could be a Sten or some other soldier fighting on the front lines. Or you could be a soldier in training getting ready to fight Tevinter.

Keep dreaming. The Inquisitor is not going to be the protagonist.

[ZombiePopper]

Given that our protag starts off as a prisoner threatened with execution under extreme circumstances in DAI.
It wouldn't be hard to have something similar occur in tevinter.
Although,
We don't have a clue what those extreme circumstances will be in DA4...
