dragon age origins the sword of the beresaad

The Kathaban was forced to withdraw the fleet to Seheron, and the entire antaam was shaken by the defeat. The Kathaban’s campaign initially made great progress, but was dealt a crushing blow when the Tevinter military retaliated en force. Among them was a young karasaad who now commanded an excellent knowledge of the common tongue and even Tevene. The Kathaban of the Qunari navy struck at the Tevinter mainland with a fleet of warships, and the entire beresaad kith was sent with them as a landing force. He couldn’t understand how one could tell whether a word was being used as a noun or a verb, and wondered as to which limbs and other body parts were also actions.Īfter disappearing from outside notice for several years, the young Sten-to-be next surfaced during the Qunari assault on Tevinter in 9:12 Dragon. He interrogated nearly every delegation entering or leaving the port during the three years he was stationed there, and in most cases, his questions pertained to the common tongue. Hornless Qunari are rare, but a curious Qunari was unheard of. Several Rivaini traders also noted the young soldier in their missives home. The Crow was puzzled, having hardly heard the Qunari talk among themselves let alone a stranger, but indulged his curiosity. The Crow described a hornless boy soldier who watched them with an odd intensity, and inquired to the meaning of “silver” in the common tongue.

The first Thedosian records of the soldier who would become Sten of the Beresaad comes from a correspondence between Antiva City and an Antivan Crow writing from Seheron in 9:03 Dragon.

As with all Qunari, “Sten” is not a name rather, it is a descriptor for rank and role.

He is not a typical Qunari as he was born without horns. He is a stoic and disciplined man with a strong code of ethics, and the way he treats others depends on whether or not they have his respect, which he does not give easily. Sten is a warrior of the Beresaad, the vanguard of the Qunari people. Arishok (as of 9:34 Dragon - conditional)
