Thane Shartan

Explore the unique culture of the Avvar in Dragon Age. Learn about their community roles, including the Thane, Augur, and Master of the Hunt, and their distinct traditions.

Hey there! So, you're diving into the world of the Avvar, huh? They're a really interesting human tribe with a rich history. Let's break down some of their culture, especially their community roles. Think of the Avvar as a collection of small, independent tribes who share beliefs and traditions. They originally came from the Alamarri, crossing the Frostback Mountains way back in ancient times. Legend says they were escaping a 'shadow goddess,' though scholars think it might have been a natural disaster. One of the coolest things about them is their community structure. They have several distinct roles: * Thane: This is a pretty significant role within their society. You'll encounter Thanes, and understanding their position is key to navigating Avvar communities. * Augur: These individuals likely have a spiritual or prophetic role. * Master of the Hunt: As you might guess, this person is probably in charge of hunting expeditions, a vital part of Avvar life. * Skald: This could be a storyteller or lore-keeper, preserving their history and traditions. * Arena Trainer: This role suggests a focus on combat training and perhaps organized fighting within their settlements. It's worth noting that while they share a culture, these tribes operate independently. This means you might find variations in how these roles are expressed or their importance from one clan to another. Keep an eye out for these distinctions as you interact with them!
