In a cipher intelligible only to Mhavos, as it uses the names of his parents, which only he knows anymore.

I need to prove to myself that I cannot do this.

• Races:
  Human (rich and poor)
  Elf (city and Dalish)
  (City elf - House servant and Alienage, merchant and squire-- too complex)
  Dwarf (surface and underground)
  (castes? I do not know them all)
  Qunari (horned men and freed)


• Religions:
  Chantry (Tevene and otherwise)
  Qunari (How does one condense Koslun? I barely find it intelligible myself)
  Whatever Rivain does


• Countries:
  Orlais
  Fereldan
  The Free Marches (which is not truly a country)
  All the others about which I know nothing


• Classes:
  Royalty & Nobility
  Merchant & Townsman
  Servant
  Serf
  Pauper
  Where do mages fit in this?



• Social Mores:
  Murder is wrong (unless you are rich)
  War is wrong (unless you win)
  Torture is wrong (see above)
  Slavery is wrong (see above)
  Magic is
  Magic
  Magic exists

Elves are generally below humans in terms of class but not character Too complex.

Elves are as difficult to categorize as any

Elves are people Honestly.

Elves are, and continue to be, despite

Elves are

Elves aren't.

Humans are. Elves aren't. Dwarves contextualize. Qunari decontextualize. You can be, but you are not yet. Good luck.

Perhaps this task is just impossible. Perhaps you are a fool, Mhavos. Ha, perhaps.
