Revision as of 18:20, 23 March 2012
Tamassrans are a branch of the Qunari priesthood and as such fall under the Ariqun. This is a female gender role.[1] Tamassrans de facto rule the Qunari society.[2][3] The Qunari themselves, however, do not see it this way: the brain could be said to rule the body... but so does the heart, the lungs, the stomach; the Tamassrans are a part of the whole.[1]
Tamassrans perform the following functions in the Qunari society:
- Control the Qunari selective breeding program by deciding who mates with whom.[1] This refers to the Qunari of all races, including humans and elves. At that, Tamassrans don't cross-breed races with other races.[4]
- Give names to newborn children.[5] These "names" are strings of genealogical information that the Tamassrans use to keep track of recessive and dominant traits the individual may be carrying. The Qunari themselves use their job titles rather than their "names" to call one another.[1][6][7]
- Raise all the children and give them their general education.[1]
- When the Qunari children reach the age of 12, evaluate them and officially assign their roles.[1][2]
- Look after those Qunari who are not mentally able, or are too physically impaired to function without a lot of help.[1]
