4. If genetics works in the DA universe the way it works in ours (kind of a big if, this being fantasy), then assuming that human/elf hybrids are basically human because human traits are dominant while elven ones are recessive, then the child of a half-elf and a full-blooded elf would have a 50/50 chance of taking after it's human or elven heritage. If it doesn't work like that, most likely the kids will always be human.

Well kossith may be able to mate with other races. Banter between Sten and Morrigan hints that sten had some sort of sexual attraction to Morrigan. Theres no confirmation if the kossith can breed with other races can interbreed but it could be there's a chance. Depends on the writers really.[[Special:Contributions/99.72.154.147|99.72.154.147]] ([[User talk:99.72.154.147|talk]]) 18:58, August 16, 2013 (UTC)

Forums: Index > Lore DiscussionJust a few questions about Hybrids in game.

Okay in game a human and an elf make a human, a dwarf can breed with a human as proven in origins, and the qunari just don't breed with anything else. I'm just curious about a few things. 1. Can the qunari breed with other races and if so how would these offspring look? 2. If the qunari sire half-qunari would these children be accepted as long as they followed the teachings of the Qun? I ask because they seem to be very accepting in some aspects and very intolerant in others. 3. Does a human dwarf pairing result in a half-dwarf? 4. If a human with an elven parent has children with an elf would half of them be elven? I ask because these matings are rare and most of them are brought up thinking they are human and then go on to marry a full-human. People have been going around this issue and i would really like to have some solid answers. --63.153.220.145 (talk) 18:55, August 14, 2013 (UTC)

1. One might assume that the Qunari can breed with other races, given that Ogres are the offspring of Qunari Broodmothers. Also given that the horns are a dominant trait, any half-Qunari offspring might have horns of some kind, perhaps less prominent that the parents or perhaps non-existent, like Sten (Not saying he's half Qunari). 2. I imagine that the strict nature of the Qun and the Caste based system the Qunari have, any half-Qunari might be accepted and assigned a role in the Qun. But only if both parents were followers of the Qun. If one of them was Bas then it could be possible that the child might be killed. Caste systems were often strict about inter-breeding between castes. 3. Possibly. But we haven't met a definite half-dwarf. (And no one say Sandal, we have no idea what his parentage is). 4. A child between an elf and a human are pretty much human in appearance. They may have some slight elven traits, such as a slight point of the ear or slightly delicate features, to all intents and purposes, they are human. So it stands to reason that if they ever have children with an elf, their offspring would be human. Its said to do with the Elves adaptive genetics (which I imagine would be similar to the supposed slippery genes dogs have, and why you can have crossbreeds).--Madasamadthing (talk) 21:49, August 14, 2013 (UTC)

If a Qunari (or Tal-Vashoth) had a child with one of the other races for whatever reason, the Qun would absolutely accept them. They do not waste resources. So even though they would never allow a Qunari and a human to produce offspring, if it happened, they would treat the child as any other member of the Qun, or as any other heretic if not raised in the Qun. They may be harsh, but they are also pragmatic. Sevec 04:08, August 16, 2013 (UTC)

1. There's no evidence either way that kossith (the original name of the race that now makes up the majority of Qunari and Tal-Vashoth) can interbreed with humans, elves or dwarves. According to backstory they're not native to Thedas at all, so it would be unlikely they could have children, assuming they're even compatible sexually. The Darkspawn thing is... well, Darkspawn are an aberration against nature itself anyway, so the fact that kossith spawn ogres doesn't really mean much here. 2. Qunari waste nothing. Any half-breed they got their hands on would be given the same "convert-or-die" choice as anyone else if found outside the Qun, and raised as a loyal follower if birthed inside it. 3. No idea, we've never seen a human-dwarf hybrid, only heard of them. Most likely, human/dwarf hybrids function like human/elf hybrids, in that the child always takes after one side of it's heritage almost exclusively. 4. If genetics works in the DA universe the way it works in ours (kind of a big if, this being fantasy), then assuming that human/elf hybrids are basically human because human traits are dominant while elven ones are recessive, then the child of a half-elf and a full-blooded elf would have a 50/50 chance of taking after it's human or elven heritage. If it doesn't work like that, most likely the kids will always be human. --UrLeingod (talk) 09:22, August 16, 2013 (UTC)
