They mocked me! They mocked my research! NOW who's laughing now! BWAHAHAHAHAHAAA!

Actually, nobody's been mocking me or my research but I need the chance to Mad Science Corps every now and then. It's enrichment.

Beer came before agriculture. This meshes with hypotheses I've heard before in various anthropology classes where the professor conjectured how agriculture was invented specifically to make beer easier. Beer was the cause of civilization, not a side effect of.

This is why Kavala is such an influential god in Dragon Age. Rot is such a strange thing to devote one's godhood to. The main Avvar gods are of hearth and home, of seasons, of fucking, of family, of war and battle and strength. Rot is not involved. Rot is not valued. Rot is not kept close in the main pantheon.

This is why Kavala left for the lowlands, why Kavala threw its lot in with the Alamarri. This is why civilization in Ferelden. When Tevinter invaded they found a thriving confederacy of barbarian fiefdoms, small kingdoms and just so much beer. I wonder if they had stories of drunken battles, of pushback from barbarian armies clad in horse skull helms who drank great jugs of beer before battle.

That was what the Tevinters faced when they invaded Ferelden.

And that is what Redcliffe remembers every Longest Night.
