I started a female Qunari character, and the default name got me thinking. Herah. I immediately thought of the Greek goddess Hera, so I decided to look her up. It turns out that some of Hera's older myths include her being a cow goddess. Female Qunari have horns that often kind of look like cow horns. Did anyone else catch this, or am I reading too much into it? Also, any other random name trivia? BlueChaosFaerie (talk) 07:21, January 25, 2015 (UTC)

Well, to quote Cole, "but they're not bull's horns, they're dragon horns." However, your theory is certainly possible. As for other random trivia, the Dwarf Inquisitor is a descendent of Shale's House, and the name Evelyn is an English name derived from, coincidence of coincidences, the French name Aveline. --TheFereldenMagister (talk) 07:51, January 25, 2015 (UTC)

Well, not name trivia, but I like one of the trophies in the trophy room of Celene's palace if you're able to break into that room. I'mSoConfused (talk) 08:01, January 25, 2015 (UTC)

Not really from Inquisition, but the Tevene (the language of ancient Tevinters) name for dwarves is dweomer, and in Old English it means magic. Ironically, the dwarves don't have magic. User signature henioo henioo (da talk page) 08:15, January 25, 2015 (UTC)

Dweomer? Reminds me of the Dwemer, the "Dwarves" of The Elder Scrolls... -- SarthesArai Talk 09:02, January 25, 2015 (UTC)

If I remember correctly sera is one of the future tenses (it changes with gender and plural) of Être (to be)? Does that count?

I found another. The name Kieran is Gaelic for black. A possible nod to the voice actress of Morrigan and the kid who voiced Kieran, who is her son in real life. BlueChaosFaerie (talk) 06:01, February 27, 2015 (UTC)
