The worst country in Thedas—other than Tevinter—

[ A given. ]

—it is Orlais, right? We can all agree to that.

[ Look, he's bored. ]

[exequy]

It was.

[ He will not be accepting contrary evidence at this time. ]

And Antiva is fine. You should go to Antiva sometime.

[windyvoice]

Isn't that the place with the assassin gang.

[exequy]

The Crows. Yes. But everywhere has assassins. Antiva's are just the best.

[windyvoice]

Yeaaaaah, I'm still gonna say that doesn't sound like a super great place to visit. Also is there literally anywhere that isn't super shitty about elves.

[sulahnan]

Rivain, generally.

[windyvoice]

They let you guys have like basic rights? No alienages? Cus fuckin' good, that shit here is garbage.

[sulahnan]

I dunno the like...intricacies of it or whatever, but they didn't treat me like I wasn't a person while I was there. And apparently down in Llomerryn there's actually a permanent Dalish settlement, and nobody's rushing in to try and kill them every other day.

[windyvoice]

Okay, Rivain is less shit than everywhere else then.

[exequy]

—and Circles. Generally.

[keenly]

...On paper.

[exequy]

And in practice, where I have been. If Kinloch Hold was super shitty [ to quote Jenny Lou ] about elves, I am sure someone owes them an apology.

[keenly]

You're saying people from noble families weren't treated differently in your Circle.

[exequy]

I am saying that in my experience Circles were not “super shitty” to elves.

[bouchonne]

Antiva is generally nice, but unfortunately, it is full of Antivans.

[exequy]

That is better than being full of Orlesians. Or full of Fereldans, Marchers, or Anders.

[bouchonne]

Mmmmmmmmm.

[windyvoice]

Fereldans got dogs tho.

[ so like obviously they suck less. ]

[exequy]

Everyone has dogs. Fereldans are just insane about them.

[windyvoice]

See, that's a cultural aspect I can get behind. Be less shitty, be more into dogs, overthrow the monarchies.

[windyvoice]

People sucking is like a normal thing, but having an assassin gang is a more stand out level of suck.

[bouchonne]

Oh, the Crows are famous, I'll grant you that. But there are other matters of concern when it comes to fair Antiva. The way they treat their women, for example, is positively dreadful.

[windyvoice]

Are they extra gross?

[bouchonne]

Completely. Antivan women are expected to be quiet and docile. They don't even give them weapons training. Can you imagine? Is there anything more beautiful than a deadly woman?

[windyvoice]

Ugh, don't get me started, love a woman who can snap me in half. Also don't distract me, I'm being disgusted by the patriarchy here.

[bouchonne]

All covered in muscles - you know how it is when women get good abs, how it's rather soft and subtle and elegant...
