The issue is as Dorian told a Qunari Inquisitor, is that it doesn't mean that Tal-Vashoth or Vashoths are exempt from the prejudice that exist in Tevinter against Qunari. Let's be real, the writers either forgot or they just wanted to focus all the racism on Miriam since she's the main character which I think was a mistake. It should've been a 50/50 split between her and Qwidyon. I think that perhaps it could be explained by the fact they were within the Palace compound at all times. This means people like the store keeper know she wouldn't have got in without the approval of the guards on the gate and Qwydion says how she is acting for her master. Ordinarily that is going to mean a high ranking Altus, as I imagine they are the only ones allowed to keep mage slaves, so people are going to be really careful because insulting the slave indirectly means insulting the master. You will notice that when the guard saw the mark on Miriam's face, indicating she belonged to the family of a Magister, he backed off. If this had happened in an ordinary city, with people blaze about Qwydion, it would be more suspect. So far as the inn was concerned, initially Miriam appeared to be sitting alone. The assumption was she wasn't there with her master's approval or perhaps she was a Liberati. Anyway, the antagonist wasn't worried about upsetting anyone. Then Fairbanks intervened. Mind you, it was obvious he was just a Soporati, so the other guy probably wasn't worried about upsetting him either. We can't ignore, that she's not just a Vashoth/Tal Vashoth, she's a mage. The qunari who says Vashoth/Talvashoth, still can lie, and be a spy, but the Qun wouldn't use a mage even as a spy (at least most likely based on what we know about them). So: besides, that she mentioned her "master", hey can hardly be suspected her of serving the Qun. Simply seems they don't think, Qwidyon is dangerous to them. The problem with this argument: WE know she's a mage. The others not. Not even in the store, since her doesn't show, if I remember correctly...

I think Solas ment first he was a random joe before he became known as a god. More a case that Solas preceded the Dread Wolf in terms of how he was known. He was also denying that there was any sort of co-habitation by a spirit in a mortal body, like Flemeth/Mythal, Anders/Justice, or Wynne/Faith Spirit. Have you read Tevinter Nights? In one of the stories there, Rasaan maintains that Solas was a name he took as a "self-styled martyr", but it is not his true name. We have discussed this elsewhere. Whilst the Qunari do have a thing about names, the fact is that the ancient elves did also take names according to their role, as evidenced by Abelas. He said he changed his name on entering Mythal's service and changed it again on her death, to reflect his role as a mourner. Solas also tells him he hopes he finds a new name (purpose) on leaving the Temple. So, rather than thinking Rasaan's assertion just reflects Qun philosophy, it might be better to consider where the Qun acquired their ideas for giving and changing names according to their role in society. Since Rasaan is a high-ranking member of the priesthood, she must be familiar with their history and thus the Qun may actually be working to more than guesswork with Solas. As for the Dread Wolf, he says he adopted this deliberately as a means of terrifying his enemies, after it was originally given by them as an insult. He also says how that it came to obscure his true self, because that is how people increasingly perceived him. This is probably why the Dread Wolf persona is so strong in the Fade, because it reflects how the majority of those living now remember him. It could be part of the reason he resents the Dalish, not just because they don't remember the history of his rebellion (although apparently there is a folktale that does remember a trickster warrior who fought against tyrants), but because their memory of him strengthens the Dread Wolf aspect of his psyche. I think this is why he said to Lavellan that he did not want her to see what he would become. In order to realise his plan, he is going to have to fully subsume himself to the Dread Wolf. I am fully convinced that at some point we are going to have to confront the Dread Wolf in the Fade, in order to defeat it, thus either slaying or freeing Solas from it, according to the intent of the PC. It is also possible that knowing his true name, in other words what he was prior to entering Mythal's service, may assist in breaking its hold over him. It's more like as the Spirits name themselves about their purpose, than the Qunari's method, I suppose.

Just wanted to say, as a player, sorry to Catilina for eliminating you when you were playing your favourite character. I hate having to decide who to eliminate the first night as it is tough on anyone, so I suggested that as I saved you first night in the last game, it sort of evened things out if I eliminated you this one. Of course, as a Holy Hand it worked out really well for us, but it turns out the Mage Underground is still active even without their leader. Oh, maybe I should have defended myself the first night.

"Can you smell the tracks, Boy?" Mabari barked happily and raced off, swiftly dragging Hawke and the company along the narrowest nooks from the scene of the crime where Anders was attacked the previous night. The Mabari blew the door off the hinges at some dirty pub and pounced atop of a stranger who was happily drinking expired ale. "What's going on?" the man demanded indignantly. "Can't an innocent merchant get a drink in their favourite pub around here?" "Something tells me you aren't so innocent," Hawke stated. The eliminated player was *whisper* psst This is DA2 cast, not Inquisition. Varric has another set of skills. Me also thinks they see through disguise of Seven the Crows Assassin. The Heroes are Victorious. Fun story! Thanks, adonniel ! (More DA2 pls! Maybe later?)

I have to admit we have been extremely lucky in managing to finish the game with not a single casualty to the heroes. It all started when I was made Anders and Adonniel asked me who I wanted to protect. I decided on Catilina because of acknowledged devotion to Anders and what do you know, I picked right! Just so you know, if it had gone into another night, I was going to bequeath my pillow to the Mabari and then unleash Justice. I thought I might as well go out in a blaze of glory (or mayhem although I was hoping I would have identified the last spy correctly). Anyway, good game everyone. Haha! Of course, I like it. Well, time proved, it was a good decision as well. Good work, Anders, good work everyone!

Okay, I can't help being suspicious of Space. If people have been paying attention, they will understand why. Think carefully about who I might be. Still, I am also suspicious of Seven because she is claiming a character that the spy would not be likely to want to attack in the night, although by the same token the spy would likely want to get out of the way during the day. Does anyone else have something to say on the issue? Sadly I've missed your hints. I would hope you are not claiming the same role as me In any case, my confidence in Cati is slipping. Enough to consider changing votes to him, He should know why I'm saying what I'm saying and have no hesitation in expressing confidence to me. The fact that he says 'maybe' is very suspicious. Understanding why that is should tell you my role.
That said, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for now, as he maybe is not sure the role I'm claiming is actually the one I have.
In any case, the last thing you want to do is eliminate me at this time.
I have no idea which role Seven might be claiming either. I have no specific suspicion of her, it was merely process of elimination.
I thought you KNOW who I'm.

He's right about everything he said about me. So: maybe I can trust Space. I'm not sure how much I am allowed to say and keep within the rules. Let me explain. You say everything he said about you is true. How could he know this? Remember that whilst he says he has confidence in you, he is also suggesting that if he is eliminated in the night, you are probably not the person he thought you were. This points towards Fenris who has to take the answers of the person they visit on trust but for that he would have to have visited you in the night. A spy could have worked out by now that Fenris is not in the game, so would be able to pretend to be him. On this basis, do you still trust Space? Well, I said, maybe. I just know, he doesn't lie about me, that's all.

Catilina ; It would be helpful if you could weigh in here. In view of the discussion I have been having with Space, do you have confidence in him? He's right about everything he said about me. So: maybe I can trust Space.

An anti-magical force with mages and non-mages would be better – and more effective to handle the magical accidents (first manifestation of magic included), and magical crimes too.

True. But this is the same situation. Not necessarily, switching your vote would simply result in a tiebreaker, not an elimination like your current vote for me. Legbamel has vote as well. So: if I change my vote, the situation would be the same. Or whom do you think about?

I just realized I could actually help Dadi by switching votes. Cati hasn't said what he will do yet though. Any idea yet, Cati? And I have no idea whenther there is a reason to save Dadi of course, beyond he is the only one with 2 votes. I have no clue still, If I change my mind, and vote to anyone else, it would happen without clue as well...

I always assumed that all companions ( except maybe Aveline) do that. Of the characters in our game, I would assume that Aveline, Sebastian, Merrill, Bethany and Carver do not participate, whilst Varric, Isabella, Fenris, Anders and the Mabari do. May be I am wrong about this but the fact that Donnick was invited but Averline was not, suggested to me that it was on the whole the male members of the group and/or those who are a bit more worldly. Hence Isabella being included but not Merrill or Bethany and Aveline probably choosing not to get involved. Meanwhile, I think Varric would leave out Sebastian and Carver deliberately because I never formed the impression that he particularly warmed to them and probably felt they would spoil the mood. In any case, I can't see Sebastian attending even if invited. In his pre-Chantry days, he definitely would, but not once he changed his outlook. Let's face it, Hawke never gets invited; I always thought it a bit much that my dog was invited but not me. (It is possible that the mabari invited itself but turned out to be such a valuable addition that Varric let it continue). Anyway, that is how I see it and would regard any answers, unless anyone strongly objects. I think, Carver yes, Bethany rarely. Aveline maybe reluctantly but sometimes also there. I'm sure, Merrill there as well – if not always. She is alone, and Isabela helps to her. Maybe if Isabela runs away, Merrill is less active here? Hawke's mabari sure! Sebastian most likely not.
