So i believe it's a well known fact by now that no matter was your race is, you'll be able to select any one of the six backgrounds available. Not the biggest fan of this idea, but what's done is done I suppose. My hope is that something that I believe would be uncommon, like a qunari being a Crow/Warden or a dwarf being in the Mourn Watch or Veil Jumpers, will be, at the very least, brought up and questioned. It doesn't even need to be a major plot point or anything. Maybe just a couple lines of questioning from a companion or NPC. A huge pet peeve of mine in any story of any medium is when something odd or uncommon happens and is not addressed in any way.
Apologies if this has been discussed before.

I remember at least in Inquisition, possibly earlier, there were rumors of vashoth and tal-vashoth becoming Wardens.

I remember at least in Inquisition, possibly earlier, there were rumors of vashoth and tal-vashoth becoming Wardens. I think, like everything else connected with the Vashoth, this is probably a rare occurrence, though not impossible. I would imagine the most likely ones would be those Tal'Vashoth escaping from the Qunari colony over on the coast of the Anderfels. I wonder if their draconic heritage can also be a problem when it comes to the Joining. Is their body more likely to reject it leading to death, or does it just mean it doesn't work properly so they do not gain the advantages as others do? Another reason only a few likely join up is that having escaped the strictures of one organisation, they likely wouldn't want to be bound by another. Having spent their lives taking orders and not being allowed to question them, why would they? Similarly, Tal'Vashoth parents would likely warn their Vashoth offspring not to do the same. |

I would similarly question a qunari Crow or member of the Mourn Watch. At least the latter might be a case, as with the dwarves, of a non-mage guard being recruited but given the Mortalitasi generally come from the elite families of Nevarra, then I question them taking in either elf or qunari mages unless the individual mentor Mortalitassi took a particular interest in doing so. This happened with the poor human mage child Sidony, although she would be less noticeable than the other races, but once again, as with the Wardens, it is probably rare but not impossible.
As for the Crows, perhaps they might recruit a Tal'Vashoth on the run from the Qun, particularly now they are at war with them. I think this would be more likely than training them up from a child as they do with the majority of their recruits. A Tal'Vashoth or Vashoth is also going to be less useful to them outside of Antiva because of the need for individuals who can blend in with the target community in order to reach their mark. A big horned individual is going to draw attention automatically because of their size and rarity in society.
