Qunari Mage
Followers of the strict religious philosophy of the Qun, the Qunari appeared like a tidal wave to the north of Thedas three hundred years ago. You are Tal-Vashoth, a Qunari who has rejected the Qun and never even lived in Qunari lands. You have earned a place within the Valo-kas mercenary company as its mage, possessing abilities that would have made you a pet slave among your own people, ignoring the fearful looks you receive from those around you. Most recently the company was sent to the Chantry conclave, hired swords meant to keep the peace—a task that has gone horribly wrong.
Qunari Rogue/Warrior
Followers of the strict religious philosophy of the Qun, the Qunari appeared like a tidal wave to the north of Thedas three hundred years ago. You are Tal-Vashoth, a Qunari who has rejected the Qun and never even lived in Qunari lands. As part of the Valo-kas mercenary company, you have earned a living by your own wits and the strength of your blade, ignoring the fearful looks you receive from those around you. Most recently the company was sent to the Chantry conclave as hired swords meant to keep the peace between mages and templars—a task that has gone horribly wrong.
Human Rogue/Warrior
As the youngest child of the Trevelyan noble house, you grew up in the Free Marcher city of Ostwick and have enjoyed a life of privilege. With close family ties to the Chantry, and many relatives among the priesthood and the templars, you were always expected to follow a similar path in service of the Maker—regardless of how you feel about the matter personally. Willing or unwilling, you were sent to the Chantry's conclave to assist relatives who sought to make peace between the templars and mages. It didn't go well.
Dwarven Rogue/Warrior
The dwarves of Thedas are known for their once-vast underground empire and guilds of merchants and warriors held in high esteem by the other races of Thedas. Not you. A cast-off "surfacer," unwelcome among the dwarves or most humans, you have scraped by as part of a criminal fraternity known as the Carta, smuggling magical ore known as lyrium. As part of the ruthless Cadash crime family, you spent your life on the streets of various Free Marcher city-states—until you were sent to the Chantry conclave as a spy and everything changed
Elven Rogue/Warrior
Enslaved long ago by humans, most elves still live as second-class citizens within human cities. Elves who reject this life are known as the Dalish: nomadic wanderers who strive to keep the ancient elven religion and traditions alive. You were raised in the wilderness to be a hunter, relied upon by the Lavellan clan for food and protection. The clan wandered the northern Free Marches and had little need to interact with humans—until the clan's Keeper sent you to the Chantry's conclave as a spy. What happened there, she said, would impact not only the Dalish but indeed all elves. She could not have known how right she was.
Human Mage
Born to the Trevelyan noble family of Ostwick in the Free Marches, you were originally intended for a life of privilege—until magical abilities surfaced at a young age and you were forced into a life of confinement within Ostwick's Circle of Magi. Protected but stifled, educated but isolated, the Circle would have been your entire future had the mages not rebelled against Chantry rule. Like it or not, you had to fight for your life against templars hunting down all "free" mages. You joined the delegation of mages attending a Chantry conclave in hopes of negotiating peace with the templars. It didn't go well.
Elven Mage
Enslaved long ago by humans, most elves still live as second-class citizens within human cities. Elves who reject this life are known as the Dalish: nomadic wanderers who strive to keep the ancient elven religion and traditions alive. You grew up in the wilderness, a member of the Lavellan Dalish clan and apprentice to its leader and guide, the Keeper. The clan wandered the northern Free Marches, and you had little need to interact with humans—until the Keeper sent you to the Chantry's conclave as a spy. What happened there, she said, would impact not only the Dalish but indeed all elves. She could not have known how right she was.

You forgot Dwarven Mage. They have something there to troll (5/10) those who put in that combo, I'll let you decide to put it up or let the community figure that one out. :) RShepard227 (talk) 01:24, August 20, 2014 (UTC)
loks like we have our orgins!!Star Metal Knight (talk) 01:25, August 20, 2014 (UTC)
I'm curious about something now: Does this mean there's potential for all of the origins to exist simultaneously i.e. Female Qunari Mage, Female Dalish Rogue, Male Carta Rogue, Male Human Warrior all attend the conclave? As in, another Duncan-type "for want of a nail" situation in which the only reason one of the four survived was because you picked that one as your character? RShepard227 (talk) 01:32, August 20, 2014 (UTC)
- Why do you "hate" to say it? I think that's kinda neat. 67.61.238.119 (talk) 16:58, August 21, 2014 (UTC)
A minor snippet that I take from this is the Qunari. A Female Qunari is said to be apart of the Valo-kas Mercenaries. How did she get there? Who are her family members? How did her Mother get out of Qunari lands? I've so many questions about the Female Qunari and I just can't wait for answers. On an unrelated note I'm loving the look for our Qunari male. He looks so reptilian. It's awesome! B.S.S.T. (talk) 01:47, August 20, 2014 (UTC)
cant remember where I read it but if i remember correctly the Qunaris grow up in a prision confienment camp that had no connection to the qun whatsoever till they get picked up for what im guessing is this Merc groupStar Metal Knight (talk) 02:29, August 20, 2014 (UTC)
- That would be slightly better. I was kinda hoping there would be a Qun choice(as in whether to join it or not) rather than the game saying you have already rejected it.CLuhrsen (talk) 15:45, August 22, 2014 (UTC)
Well with that surname I'm just hoping the human characters don't end up visiting any large satellite dishes whilst on their travels --Bel3338 (talk) 02:41, August 20, 2014 (UTC)
Meh. Could use more variety. Primary Faction (talk) 03:23, August 20, 2014 (UTC)
I really like this option on the site, the way we can check out classes and races with models. It's neat. --
03:35, August 20, 2014 (UTC)
Dwarven model images don't appear! Oh well, it was good to have a glimpse at what my Dalish mage will look like and a little bit about the Inquisitor's background. It does seem a little recycled though considering almost all of the beginnings are being at the conclave as a spy. --The Dwarven Smithy (talk) 05:46, August 20, 2014 (UTC)
- Actually, humans are negotiating peace while Qunari are bodyguards there :P but yeah, it's a shame elves and dwarves are both spies (though out of different motives). Also the dwarven warriors do appear just not rogues sadly. Also I find it a bit annoying now that every class has helmets so we can't see anything of their heads (save for Qunari). :/ -- 05:59, August 20, 2014 (UTC)
Haha, I was right about one of them. That we'll be a mercenary. I would have preferred the rogue one to be unique in which we're an Antivan 
11:05, August 20, 2014 (UTC)
Does anyone else think that the paragraph for a dwarf mage could hint at the future possibility of their existence? Perhaps Dagna's involvement could include an examination of a dwarven inquistors mark of the rift as the first 'magicial' ability imbued in a dwarf --Bel3338 (talk) 11:35, August 20, 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah it does look like they've kept it open ended but my first thought was Sandal. Plus there's the possibility of them using Red Lyrium and the Inquisitor's power is definitely magical as well.
This is a good leak. The choices seem fairly comprehensive, even including minor stuff like bringing Ironbark for the Dalish in DAO....Can't wait to try it out! Diain (talk) 12:17, August 20, 2014 (UTC)
- Think you're on the wrong page, the Keep leak is elsewhere: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Dragon_age_Keep_images_SPOIlERS
- As for the updated Inquisitor profiles it's very interesting to see the backgrounds but a bit of a shame some of the models don't load. Oh well, sure they will fix it eventually. Xsari (talk) 14:55, August 20, 2014 (GMT)
I'd have preferred a less criminal dwarven origin. I get that most surfacer dwarves have at least some connection to the Carta, but it seems a little restrictive for roleplay to be slotted into "mob enforcer." Luper567 (talk)
Yep, definitely playing as an Elf first. Supergodzilla118 (talk) Supergodzilla118 15:34, August 20, 2014 (UTC)
Looks like I would be wise to play as an influential Human. Have to see what options Mages have first, though.--Mike Gilbert 20:53, August 20, 2014 (UTC)
ok my 2 cents the qunaris merc company Fired! lol but really they failed their job but im very curious who "hired" them and what they were suppose to do when shit got out of control and honestly both elf and dwarf shouldnt be both spies since the Dwarfs are carta they should of sent your character to kill someone instead to keep the war going like their group is selling alot of lyrium in this war and if it stops so does the money. and as for mage elf I would not send my best man and replacement to go spy in someone elses war send someone expendable oh wellStar Metal Knight (talk) 21:24, August 20, 2014 (UTC)
- This is exactly the situation you send your best man into. They have the most skill to learn what's needed and get out safely, plus you can trust the information. If some scrub got caught, tortured (or paid off), and sent to deliver false testimony, that information would be far more detrimental to the Keeper who sent them. As for the Carta, dwarves can't exactly pose as one side and assassinate a member of the other or otherwise sabotage the talks just to keep the war going, they can't be mages, and I haven't seen any dwarven templars (though there's nothing that says they can't if they really want to). The Mage-Templar War is at its heart a "human thing" with a handful of city/Circle elves for every hundred humans, so any dwarf at a meeting like this would be treated with extra suspicion. Odds are the Carta, much like the Dalish, just want information so they know what to focus on going forward. It makes perfect sense for both races (if the Dalish are the "true" elves) to be sending spies at the exact same time. RShepard227 (talk) 21:43, August 20, 2014 (UTC)
The background info is cool, and I love the pics they added, but did anyone else notice the racial benefits they listed. Dwarves receive a "25 percent bonus to Magic Defense", Elves a "25 percent bonus to Ranged Defense", Humans a "bonus ability point at the start of the game", and Qunari a "bonus of 50 to health".
Obviously we dont know the details of game mechanics yet, but dwarves sound much more magically resistant, and the Qunari health bonus would be equivalent to 10 points of Constitution in DAO. This actually makes me reconsider my plan to play as an elf first, ranged defense sounds like a lame bonus, and makes Qunari sound better (who wouldnt want 50 health after all). Is this making anyone else reconsider their planned first playthrough? Drake72 (talk) 08:43, August 21, 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, I'm more inclined to go for a Qunari now for some reason. The ones you stated being the apparent ones. However, I'll probably stick with Human Warrior for my first play through anyways.
09:15, August 21, 2014 (UTC)
- Definitely, I had always toyed of whether I was going to do a Human Mage or Warrior or a Qunari Warrior/mage. After reading the descriptions and with the different race bonuses, I've decided first playthrough will be a Human Mage, second a Qunari Warrior. Seeing as Humans get a bonus ability point, more magic faster! And Qunari with a health bonus? Obviously suited for a tank warrior. Also, would have to agree, not to enchanted with the elven race ability. Maybe it's not set in stone? And as for Dwarves.. well a anti-magic resistance when fighting hordes of Demons, it's almost, ALMOST enough to actually make me do a proper full runthrough as a Dwarf, despite their stubby looking armour. SenjiBen (talk) 09:17, August 21, 2014 (UTC)
- Doesn't influence me at all. If I want to play an Elf, I'll play an Elf. If I want to play a Qunari, I'll play a Qunari. Racial bonuses aren't really a concern for me considering any Inquisitor can be kicking ass and taking names just as much as any other. Primary Faction (talk) 13:24, August 21, 2014 (UTC)
- I also thought that they seemed to tailor the different races for different classes (qunari for warrior) but then it is also possible that they have the same "attribute thing" they had in Origins where different races may have different attribute points which might negate it and it is entirely possible to benefit from most bonuses as any class: qunari rouges and mages do not need to put any points in constitution for a while, elven archers and mages can attack the battlefield with little fear of retribution while warriors and melee rouges can storm the enemy with fewer losses in terms of health, all classes use attribute points so they all benefit almost as much for playing a human and a resistance towards magic makes you more adept at handling mages whatever the class. Caspoi (talk) 17:29, August 21, 2014 (UTC)
... And as of right now, the page is gone. o_O 
Jasin Moridin 22:30, August 21, 2014 (UTC)
- I'm guessing they're fixing the page to show dwarves.--The Dwarven Smithy (talk) 03:58, August 22, 2014 (UTC)
