Saarebas

a Saarebas is a Qunari mage, literally meaning "dangerous thing".

Background
The qunari call their mages 'saarebas', meaning "dangerous thing," and treat them with the utmost caution. Saarebas must be carefully controlled by someone else, an 'arvaarad', "one who holds back evil," because they cannot truly control themselves. The qunari pity and honor the saarebas, for striving while under constant threat from within is truly selfless, the highest virtue of the Qun.

The treatment that the Qunari giver their mages is much harsher than that of the rest of Thedas. Qunari mages actually have their tongues cut out, and mouths seemingly stitched.

Involvement
They will appear in Dragon age 2 as enemies that Hawke and his companions must face.
