>Meredith needs to step down (admittedly, nobility ruling is ALSO bad but setting up elections seems unlikely.)
>Let the city decide. Well, that's not what I thought you'd say, Hawke. Aaand back to the original choice. (path icons) >_?
@KarrinBlue granted, it seems by all accounts that the voting system is not "every citizen gets a vote" but rather "every noble gets a vote", but anyone can be elected Spoiler: DA:I spoiler At the end of DAI - Trespasser we find iut that Varric has been electd the new Viscount of Kirkwall in fact.
Now we get a bunch of codices and quests, because it's act threeeeee Spoiler: Codex - Mantle of the Champion Champion: an honor unique to the Free Marches. Other terms of reverence suffer the stains of their holders, the lingering baggage of office and entitlement. But champion is not an appointment that can be sought. It cannot be owned or willed, and the process by which it is bestowed is not argued through policy or guile. It is earned with blood and sweat and leadership in times of great turmoil. Always worthy, as their deeds are of true importance, a champion is greeted not by debate, but by nods of reverence. The title was most recently granted in Tantervale, 8:82 Blessed, on the resolution of the bloody expansion of Nevarra. Their king, emboldened by the taking of Perendale and the quick yielding of Hasmal, thought the remainder of the Free Marches as easy claim. He who became the Champion. Cade Arvale of Rivain, did what Orlais had not: He stopped a nation in its tracks. There was blood and barter, but Tantervale is still free against all odds. There is the contradiction of the honor. Champion is not itself a sign of approval. He or she can be respected or feared, their coming dreaded as much as desired. All that is common is that they have an effect and lives are changed. Kirkwall now adds to the history of the title, a first for the city, on this 9:34 Dragon. The Qunari are repelled by means respected or reviled, and it remains to be seen what follows for this Hawke, the Champion of Kirkwall. —From The Champion: History, Ancient and Current, excerpted by Philliam, a Bard! Spoiler: Codex - Sataareth Qunari are a people of metaphors, and for them, words have many meanings. Sataareth, the name given by the Arishok to this axe, means "that which upholds". It is the word for foundation, defender, and enforcer, all at once. We took his axe? But... this looks like neither his axe or his sword. but #ok i don't WANT to correspond with the knight-commander. :| ^that's not an encouraging quest name. "Resurfaced after years?!" I... I.... spincter
They might ALSO see reason if you DID YOUR DAMN JOB. Has there ever been a time when 'ok how about you go sulk with like minded people and then you will see the other person's point of view' worked.
Sure, lemme check out my letters first. -sincerely, Ella, it says but that got cut out of the screenshot. anyway i would like to show anders this letter. Iiii clicked on Bodahn and now we're in a conversation whoops >_?
Meredith seems like a horrible person, but that is exactly the face I would make to someone being that condescending and obnoxious to me, too.
