And the Qunari certainly want Seheron and, by what the Bull and Fenris tell us, are getting no closer to properly controlling it. While certainly the Qunari have only fought in skirmishes that doesn't change the fact that even their best (like the Arishock's personal troops and Sten's elite party) seem to lose as much as if not more than they win.

The only military success we've seen from them is taking over a city that has no army when already inside it and holding it for a few hours before one guy/girl and a handful of his/her friends cut through their ranks to their leader and possibly killing him.īasically the Qunari come across as talking a good game and most of them probably believing it, to a point, but being significantly less hot stuff than they claim to be. One of the much touted Dreadnoughts was wrecked in a storm while another will be destroyed by three(!) mages if not supported by a group of non-Qunari mercenaries.

In Origins an elite group of top level soldiers was surprised and massacred down to one man while on a scouting mission by an outlying group of Darkspawn before the main horde was even out of the Korcari Wilds. They've been fighting in Seheron for 200 years and not only have they failed to expel the forces of Tevinter (which is, let's remember, a broadly spent power compared to the likes of Orlais and Nevarra) but they've actually created more enemies. One is also not impressed by their supposed military might. This is also supported by the simple fact that it's been two centuries since the Llomeryn Accords and they haven't made a single advance in territory nor really made any effort to do so. All this suggests a sense of doubt creeping into the heart of their supposedly unified society. If Sten is the new Arishok the comics show him to still care too much about his friends to put the Qun over them. The evidence supports the idea that, despite gathering converts in some places, they are losing a lot of people to Tal-Vashoth Tal-Vashoth are a constant problem on Seheron, they had to come up with a name for the descendants of those who left the Qun, proving that it doesn't always lead to madness and in Dragon Age 2 even the personal troops of the Arishock went Tal-Vashoth by the dozen. The Bull notes that the Qunari's leaders have not been able to satisfactorily explain why they lost the last war despite the fact that, according to their beliefs, following the Qun should have guaranteed victory. First, every Qunari agent we've met has second thoughts or doubts and at least one (possibly two, depending on what Tallis did next) can decide to leave.

But I contend that they are far less impressive than they are made out to be. Much is made of the threat the Qunari pose to Thedas and (when they're the ones talking) the inevitability of their victory.
