Right, gotta ask since it's been nigglin' me like a loose tooth for a bit now Inquisition, what d'you all know about dwarves? Rifters you don't get a free pass unless you fell out the skies yesterday, s'not like we're a rare sight but, y'know, 'specially since we've been here a while now and-- [there's a little edge to his voice, he coughs to clear that, can't sound like he gives a shit, just the damp and the smoke lingering yeah?] you've been with lots of dwarves. Lot of my family even!

Might get invited to Sunday dinner if you play your cards right but word to the wise, maybe don't? Politely decline. But not too polite yeah? [Don't know what you'll be served on a Darktown dinner table do you now?]

I'm mostly aware of dwarven lore as it pertains to the Grey Wardens; hence, the Legion of the Dead. They accept those from any caste and hold their own funerals before dedicating the rest of their lives toward fighting darkspawn.

And anyone else who is inconvenient to dwarven society, I assume. I can certainly see casteless bearing the brunt of it, though. Those without resources or respect always do.

[It doesn't escape her how many have joined the Grey Wardens out of desperation, as well. That a doomed life of hunting darkspawn can be seen as better than what came before is too depressing for words.]

Have you met any of their order?

I didn't mean for it to sound 'pretty' but...point taken. [She doesn't want to speak over a dwarf regarding other dwarves, especially since she's never been to Orzammar or had much contact with dwarves outside the odd Grey Warden or Legionnaire. If he tries to speak over her about elves, though, then they'll have issues.]

Legionnaires aside, what do you think others need to know about dwarves? Surfacers especially, given that the Inquisition as a hole is more likely to interact with them.
circleprodigy: (frustrated)

That I can believe.

[Inessa sighs, prompting some canine grumbling from her end as Garahel leans against her.]

It's rather annoying when others assume every member of your race behaves a certain way or believe in the same things, isn't it? I've lost count of the times I've been lectured at about my own race, what we are and what we ought to be. Even when it's not active bigotry it's just...laziness.
