| − | * The Ashkaari's story bears remarkable similarity to that of Siddhartha Gautama, the inspiration for [[wikipedia:Buddhism|Buddhism]], and is likely based on it. In both stories, Koslun and Siddhartha are isolated members of the wealthy elite, but in walking the streets encounter suffering which compels them to seek answers from the world as to why such negativity exists. Ironically, while Siddhartha comes to advocate personal isolation and nonviolence, Koslun comes to advocate submersion in the group and militarism. |

“Existence is a choice.”
Ashkaari Koslun is a kossith philosopher and the founder of the Qun - one of the major schools of thought in Thedas.
His teachings have inspired the conversions of thousands in becoming Qunari, the "People of the Qun".
Background
The Tome of Koslun was handwritten by the Ashkaari and is the most revered item to the Qunari. It was lost during Qunari Wars and held by Orlais until 9:31 Dragon, when it was stolen by Isabela. The contemporary Arishok led a pursuit to Kirkwall, and depending on player choice may have left with the Tome to return it to his homeland.
