Ariqun

Ariqun is a Qunari Triumvir, one of the three pillars/leaders of the Qun, leader of the priests.
== Background ==
The Qunari priests and by extent their leader, the Ariqun, represent the soul, just as the Arishok represents the body and the Arigena represents the mind of the Qunari. Ariqun can be male or female.Kirby, Mary. "Question about the antaam". BioWare Social Network. Retrieved 2011-08-09.
Ariqun commands the following branches of the Qunari priesthood:
* The Tamassrans (a female gender role), who control the Qunari selective breeding program, raise all the children and officially assign their roles. The Tamassrans wield a huge amount of influence.
* The Ben-Hassrath (can be both males and females), who primarily act as religious law enforcers, and "re-educate" both the unruly Qunari and new converts. They also act as covert Qunari spies.
The Rasaan serves directly under the Ariqun and was long ago chosen as the Ariqun's eventual successor. One of the meanings of "Rasaan" is "chosen heir." The name "Rasaan" also translates to "emissary." One of Rasaan's most prominent duties is to accompany the Arishok on expeditions to advise the Arishok as to the 'will of the Qun'.
