nonQunari

NonQunari is a term used to describe individuals or groups who do not adhere to the Qun, a philosophical and religious doctrine that governs the society of the Qunari people in the Dragon Age video game franchise. The Qun is a rigid, caste-based system that dictates every aspect of a Qunari's life, from their profession to their personal relationships. Adherence to the Qun is considered paramount, and those who deviate are often viewed as deviants or outcasts.

Individuals who reject or are unwilling to follow the Qun are considered nonQunari. This can occur for a variety of reasons. Some Qunari may be born with a disposition that does not align with the strictures of the Qun, leading to internal conflict. Others may experience events or encounters that challenge their faith in the doctrine. Additionally, Qunari who have been removed from the Qunari society, such as slaves or exiles, may also be considered nonQunari.

The term is often used by Qunari loyalists to denote those who are seen as a threat to the Qun's order and purity. NonQunari are often viewed with suspicion and distrust by the Qunari populace. From the perspective of the Qun, such individuals are seen as broken or incomplete, lacking the purpose and direction that the Qun provides. The fate of nonQunari can vary, ranging from forced re-education to execution, depending on the severity of their perceived transgression and the judgment of the Qunari authorities.
