I feel like we could eventually find out that Koslun and the Qunari are a lot like Andraste and the Chantry--what exists in the present might not be what Koslun intended. We don't have a lot of evidence that Koslun was the one that came up with the Qunari's current practices to mages, I don't think.
This thought came to me the moment i heard the part in his philosophy about loss of the self. What is existing only as a role chosen for you by someone else if not loss of self?
@@dumbsterdives It's really hard to say since we haven't seen that much from the Tome of Koslun but what we have seen seems to hold personal choice and accountability pretty high? I bet he came up with the communal society with the body-mind-soul split but that a lot of what modern Qunari leaders do probably isn't IN his writings and something got warped somewhere.
Awesome video. Btw… something I noticed the other day…… a throw away line from Cole’s Banter with Iron Bull….CONFIRMS Qunari dragon blood!! When Cole asks why he chose the name “iron bull”? He replies “you know.. horns.. bull… “ Then cole says “yes but they aren’t bull horns. They are dragon horns. Why didn’t you call yourself iron dragon?” Cole… doesn’t lie… and he knows the true nature of everyone around him. He didn’t say “they look like dragon horns”. He says “they ARE dragon horns” Cole doesn’t blurt out nuanced things… his dialogue can be vague and chaotic… and poetic….but it’s always truth. And he was in a coherent mode when he said that. We was not channeling iron bulls thoughts and feelings… he was just stating the blatant facts of iron bulls nature and self . So… I get that a writer… if they wanted to change this … and say “oh he meant something else and we aren’t doing the Qunari in that direction” They could But …. Until they do… That right there is “Qunari blood is dragon blood” confirmed!
"1 can find happiness in performing his duty" that line from Sten inspired me to push through my diploma work as a student. Ever since then I have always been in awe of the qun and its unique insight into life.
Thank you for such a great video about Qunari! I am among those who always ask about Qunari culture vs Qunari race. I wish developers wrote this part of lore more clearly. 👍
I can see how after so many years, the Ashkaari's words can be misinterpreted by his people, like Andraste is misunderstood by her followers. I think what he wanted were people to understand that discovering oneself is the biggest task in life. I think the Qun and its priests have this idea that means THEY are the ones to decide for someone, but I don't think that's the case. I think he thought hard about how fleeting life is, and how we should strive for happiness in the truest sense, not just giving someone a job to do for the rest of their life.
Dragon Age 4 should study the kossith qunari more and find out their true names. Maybe they were originally just abominations or hybrids between elves and dragon blood magic? 🤷
Literally 5 minutes on google proved this statement completely untrue. Elves can have children with other races but the outcome is never an elf, we've met a half-dwarf in-game (Scout Harding is right there), and while we haven't seen any half-kossith/vashoth/qunari, thats either because they're too genetically different to be compatible, the tamassrans don't interbreed races, and/or no one outside qunari land has tried. If you're gonna post bait on a video you have no reason to watch you could at least put some effort into it.
@@dumbsterdives harding is a full blood dwarf so far there have never been any reported canonical half-human half-dwarves but it is known that they exist as regular humans that are something between a rather tall dwarf and a rather short human
Спасибо за великолепное видео, это шедевр, жалко что разработчиков игры в наше время больше волнует толерантность, желание всех сделать геями, лесбиянкоми, феминистками, а белых мужчин уродливым злом, их это волнует больше чем качество игры, читая книги играя в игры мне всё больше хочется плакать от того что мою любимую вселенную уничтожают и превращают в цирк уродов. Биовар как кунари, ТРЕБУЮТ любить геев, меньшинства (хотя в наше время не меньшинства а большинство).

Love this channel. Keep uploading and as when Deadwolf comes out I bet you'll get a ton of attention.
This story was told by Fenris with a cold
i thought the same lmaoo
This vid fantastic and extremely useful. Good job.
I’ll be playing a Beresaad in a TTRPG next year, this video has been very helpful.
Dragon Age 2 At the end of Act 2
Aveline: “You lived your life for the Qun, you gonna die for some Elves?”
Arishok: “Someone is.”
What's the core difference between being "vashoth" and being "bas" or "basra"?
I think Qunari would consider Vashoth to be Bas, just specifically descended from members of the Qun/ Tal Vashoth
@@WatchmanGamingLore That makes sense to me! Ty! I'm running a very Qun-centric Dragon Age campaign rn so that info helped
Dragon Age 4 should study the kossith qunari more and find out their true names. Maybe they were originally just abominations or hybrids between elves and dragon blood magic? 🤷
Or humans and dragons. Since humans came from Par Vollen
"Pre-Dreadwolf"
The hope was to maybe cover this in more detail after Dreadwolf comes out.
