So, as we all know we've entered the sixth world, and dragons like Dunkelzahn, Hestaby, Lowfyr and Schwartzkopf have reawakened. But have they retained their memories from the fifth world and the worlds before, and what were they doing during the fifth world (3113BC untill 2011AD)

Did he embody Hobbes' idea of acting with absolute power in the interests of the small folk, or was he a self-serving figure?

Honestly my friend is one of those Tatooine truthers and I'd like to prove him wrong.

The other day I heard a bug-loving fiend preaching treansonous peace, attempting to claim that the Bug Wars were started by humanity. While I of course reported him to the proper authorities for re-education, I fear my children may have been corrupted by his slanderous lies. How can I explain to my kids the wicked alien thoughts of the Bugs which led them to such a sick and demented assault upon our poor peace-loving planet?

My grandfather recently passed away and while looking through his stuff I found a book called "Why We Fight: The War Against Eastasia," published by the Minipax.
Am I missing something here? Haven't we always been at war with Eurasia? Can someone help me with this?

As we all know, the first weeks of the One Year War saw both the Earth Federation and the Principality of Zeon lose half of their respective population. What radicalized the Zeon military so drastically that they felt compelled to attack Federation forces with nuclear and chemical weapons, and the Earth itself with a dropped colony?

I have been recently told by acquaintances that not only was the history of Mulan inspired by real facts, but that most of the military leaders of the Chinese Three Kingdoms and Japanese Sengoku periods were not the burly, hairy men that appear in official history, but actually fairly young and dainty females!
At first, I took it as revisionist nonsense -- these were, after all, the same people that tried to convince me that King Arthur had actually been a charming blonde -- but after a few searches, I found several educational games in which the player has the opportunity to simulate long conversations with these leaders between some of their most famous battles, and even become their most intimate confidant. Sadly, due to language barriers, I haven't been able to actually play any of these, so for now I can only sate my curiosity by asking you what forces led to this curious state of affairs. While the presence of female combatants in early militias was relatively common, one usually only became a military commander in extraordinary circumstances.

I have read the book of Dr. Ledze Plin about the history of the region, but can't really my head around it. He writes that he's interviewed several elders in writing it, but it barely shows...
Mavbe I'm just not a fan of his prose. In my view, the whole thing reads more like a drug-induced dream than a history of the region.
Did I miss something? Could anyone explain what it's about?

Surely the increase in public police perception, sharp decline in crime, and efficacy of an automated police force would be enough to convince the government to pursue the program, if not with OCP, then with some other contractor.
Why didn't the program catch on at a national level?

This was partially covered by some questions in the FAQ, but there didn't seem to be a consensus. Basically, what bothers me is that there is no contemporary attestation of Andraste's early life, and accounts of her public career vary wildly depending on the chronicler's origin (inside or outside Tevinter). How do Historical Andraste scholars account for this? could she have been a composite figure? How sure are we that she actually composed all of the Chant of Light?

How could a single photon bomb penetrate hull plating made from Quadanium steel, then somehow make it to the core? Isn't it more likely that Palpatine placed some thermal detonation charges on vital structure points that were rigged to explode? This way, he would have had more of an excuse to divert resources to fight the Rebel Alliance. Are there any Imperial Engineering experts out there or maybe somebody with a basic degree in building Planetary Ore Extractors/Photon based weaponry?
Clearly the "facts" don't match up, and I think it is perhaps time we take a second look at this "attack."

The ship does not spin, but the crew still exists in what seems to be normal gravity. Even more if the ship generates it's own gravity how come it does not have "Double Gravity" when landing on planets?

Kuvira and the Earth Empire are still relativly controversial, due in no small part to her war against Republic City. While I understand text books tend to paint her as a power hungry tyrant, I couldn't help but notice that while somewhat harsh, under her rule conditions in the former Earth Kingdom improved exponentially.
So I guess to what extent are the texts true about her rule true and what might have been colored by the biases of Republic City?
