Dwarven castes? What about dwarven crafts? Fine dwarven crafts. Direct from Orzammar. You won't find better.
You probably dont give a damn but does anyone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account??
I somehow forgot the login password. I appreciate any help you can give me
@Axl Erick instablaster =)
@River Immanuel I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@River Immanuel It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much you really help me out !
@Axl Erick No problem =)
This is why the dwarven commoner is one of my favorite origins to play. You literally go from less than nothing to your people to the highest of the high by becoming a Paragon.
I like the scene where it's revealed that their most elite warriors were defeated by castless XD.
Now i understand why Varric hates Ozrammar dwarves so much, i wouldn't have liked to live under such rigid system either.
My dwarf commoner: "Oh, so the Qun is like Orzammar"
Sten, offended: "Absolutely not"
I mean isn't it though? They both have caste systems don't they?
@@poisonpotato1 It's close enough that the criticism has weight, but there are lots of significant differences that would certainly result in Sten finding the comparison offensive. The most important of which are 1) parentage is super important in Orzammar and mostly ignored in the Qun, so Sten would likely find their way of determining which roles people fill to be idiotic compared to having them tested and selected by the priestesses; and 2) Sten would probably short-circuit if someone tried to explain to him that there's an entire segment of Orzammar society legally barred from doing anything productive and thus forced to beg or do crime.
Great video! Qunari next? (they also have a caste system, only they don't inherit from their parents but is given a role early on).
Dirthamen Yes! I'd love to learn more about the Qunari. :)
Technically speaking all societies in Thedas have a caste system, because it's really just another name for class system. The society of the dwarves and the qunari are different in the sense that their system is part of their laws, whereas within human society it's more about unwritten rules and norms.
In human society 9 times out of 10, the son of a baker will be a baker as well, as it was in real world medieval times, and his chances of climbing the ladder of society is very slim. In that sense Qunari society could be said to be less limiting than human society, since they will judge the son based on what he's deemed good at, rather than what his father was good at.
Dwarf noble playthrough dao awsome
For real, I love the origin. It's a shame I don't play dwarves as much
Just after thinkin',,,I made an enlightened Leliana Divine Victoria, if i remember correctly, she disbands the circle and the templar order, which is iconic but I assume that the Chantry isn't buying all that Lyrium it used to sooo is Orzammar like,,, screwed in my worldstate lol ?
The mechanism of how dwarves who go to the surface lose their caste because they’ve lost the connection to the “stone” is actually based of a little known aspect of the OG caste system in India - the “black water” taboo.
According to Indian Hindu society, anyone who crosses the ocean loses their connection to the gods through the Ganges River. The reasoning goes that all water in India originated from the Ganges (not factually true) so if you’re on the ocean or in a foreign land, you are instead exposed only to impure or “black” water not from the Ganges. You’ve lost your connection to the gods, and have also lost your caste!
Dwarfs ftw my nagging worked
The video was good, but I think you left a couple things out. As I recall, there is a side quest in DAO where you discover that legion of the dead once had its own caste. Also, if you choose bhelen in origins, he apparently loosens up the caste system, but there is not much on this beyond that if casteless serve for awhile they get new freedoms(although it’s not specified if they are allowed to participate in the revised caste system or no)
Those were left out as they would have had spoilers which the video was avoiding. Especially with the Legion of the Death.
Orzammar society reminds me of the town I grew up in for over 28 years where the big and influential names had to have a business in town, run the big services like the hospital, the library or the school system or simply be manager of a gas station in order to be respected in the town hall and able to make changes. You couldn't climb the ladder unless you were like-minded though, they prefer it that way and as for the Carta, they are like the drug dealers who may be amongst the reviled in town but are seen as doing a service by keeping the lowly in check with drugs. Most of the youth who aren't out to become popular or obtain the praise of everyone in town plan on leaving it soon as they are able and soon as they leave it they are no longer respected because they are considered outsiders who are to be kept to strictly business unless those kids went to college so they can fill their parents seat when they die. If you are new there don't expect a warm welcome except maybe the false cheery looks and pompous compliments they seem to give if they are like door greeters. Like Orzammar, Columbus Texas has no future and is slowly dying out in the populace.
Hey, just found your channel but love it and want to throw some support your way. I don’t know if this is your first attempt at a channel but your editing and video format is top notch. Great work and keep it up!
I’m reminded of India and it’s caste system.
Casteless = Untouchables/Dalit
Thank you! At least I think it was my comment, yesterday lol if so, kudos on the speed.
yessss i love this subject of this one!!! so excited!!
Awesome video! :)
wow, awesome video. I am amazed I didn't see the origin of Castes in DA:origins.
congratulations 499 sub
can you do a video about life in the chantry / norms among chantry members :O
It’s nice to find someone who can speak Elvish
If paragons paragons were living ancestors and they were above even the kind, how was Caradin allowed to be what was essentially executed by the then king? Doesn't really have anything to do with the video, but was something I thought was interesting.
If i remember right i think the king that did that was a little mental.
Love dwarfs
Shit i like your videos they are damn good
Double yey
More dorfs
DWARFS FOR LIFE!!!
