The day you're good with plenty of other elves, the Inquisition, and a lot of rifters getting blades put to them. Inquisition might be able to keep some of it at bay but it doesn't matter, they'll just find any elf and do that to them. [All elves look alike Iorveth, that's how it goes, doesn't matter if someone hates a Dalish and takes it out on a city elf or vice versa.]
They're not pets. Most of the old splendour got taken over so Orzammar's what they're left with now until they do some push to reclaim lost Thaigs because that's what everyone wants, round up the crew, we'll fight Darkspawn, probably lose people to death, injuries, but we'll get back some relics covered in Darkspawn shit. [Do Darkspawn shit? He would assume? He's going to actually have to ask a Warden if Darkspawn shit now, or just, generally about the bodily functions of Darkspawn so he knows just how stupid Orzammar Thaig Reclaimers are.] So. It's just living there. Near the Deep Roads. Full of Darkspawn. Then sending folk off to push them back and having the Legion of the Dead down there in the really shit bits to fight them. Because they're true dwarves.
Orlais had some executions sometimes but everything's a show there so if you get to go to Orlais, you'll understand what I mean, you have to wear masks, you're meant to be up on all the latest fashion. And like I said, chevaliers. City elves don't really get much choice in things because life deals them a shit hand; when they did do something, Empress of Orlais burnt the alienage down. Dalish come off that way. 'Specially the ones that say Dalish instead of elf. Bit dodgy. [Bit of Orzammar about it. Uncomfortable. 'So-called surface caste' vs 'flat-ears'. Doesn't sound too different to him when he's got most of Thedas under his belt.]
You ever met a dwarf that tries to swindle you blind then be your best friend smiling like he'd stab you then sell your grandmother? That's a proper dwarf.
