A Honorable Tal'vashoth
The Tal'vashoth are former qunari who have rejected what the Qun, the Qunari way of life, teaches. Just as Qunari denotes those that follow the Qun, elves and humans included, Tal'vashoth denotes those who no longer wish to adhere to its rules; it is not specific to race. Often times they will become mercenaries in other lands. It is not uncommon for a Tal'vashoth to remove their horns (as in the case of Armaas, and perhaps most mercenaries).
- Known Tal'vashoth include: Jarvy and Tennant (the mercenaries of Arl Howe), Armaas, and the entire mercenary band of the Kadan-Fe
- A party banter between Sten and Zevran can trigger the possibility to talk to Sten about Tal'Vashoth in which he states they are beasts with the faces of men and are far deadlier then any Abomination or Darkspawn. He recalls a story of how Qunari were going missing and found dead in rivers and across the countryside.
