In Dragon Age: Inquisition, Corypheus even calls the Qunari a “mistake” of a race and says “your blood does not belong to your people” to a Qunari Inquisitor. They were turned into the first darkspawn ogres, suggesting that the Kossith at least likely had horns, though Iron Bull suggests the Qunari and Kossith are no longer anything like each other, hinting at a physical transformation. In -410 Ancient, a group of Kossith established a colony in the Korcari Wilds. How the Qunari became the horned, grey-skinned giants they are in Dragon Age has been subject to speculation.īefore the Qun, the Qunari were called the Kossith. Humanoids of the same race as the majority of the Qunari but who are born outside of the Qun are also not considered Qunari within their own culture, but are instead called Vashoth, meaning “grey ones.” For example, a Qunari Inquisitor in Dragon Age: Inquisitionis a Vashoth. Dragon Age's elves, dwarves, or humans who dedicate themselves to the Qun can also be considered Qunari, but the grey-skinned giants who established the name call them the Viddathari to distinguish them. Qunari simply means “People of the Qun,” the Qun being the strict religious doctrine of the Qunari.
The Qunari are difficult for many fans to wrap their heads around.
