As to the possible Affair with Isolde? Yeah...I think there was something. Or, at least, the beginning of something. Sadly, Dragon Age takes place in a time where someone of importance who had to travel often to distant places (in this case, Redcliff to Denerim) would often mean being away for weeks or months at a time. When we come into the story, Thedas is in a period of Unrest, with Rumors of the Blight arising way before even the Battle at Ostagar; and here we have Cailan, trying to rally support to bring Orlais into the fold to beat the enemy back, all the while Loghain is there fighting him every step of the way. Though Cailan kept Eamon at Redcliff (in case things went terribly wrong at Ostagar, which they did) there's a good chance that before that Eamon was at Denerim for some time, supporting Cailan and the Bid to form an Alliegence with Orlais.
Now, time-line wise things get tricky here, but let's assume it's around this time that Isolde becomes fearful of Connor's growing Magic, and begins to seek out a Hedge Mage to teach her son in secret. She knows she *has* to keep this from Eamon, and with him gone she's feeling alone, terrified, and is in need of a shoulder to Cry on. Enter Teagan.
They've known one another a long time, they're close, and Teagan cares for and admires Isolde a great deal, alot of which comes through later when our Warden arrives. So, if you put all that together, there is a very good chance that while Eamon was away, and all these behind the scenes events with Connor and Jowan were beginning to take shape, Teagan and Isolde began to feel closer, and perhapes maybe, in a moment of weakness, *something* may have happened. If it did, it's likely that both realized it was a mistake and agreed to put it behind them and not let it effect her marrige or the love Teagan has for his older Brother. For a time, I even entertained the Notion that Connor was, in fact, Teagan's Son, and not Eamons. But, for reasons I won't go into, I ruled that out.
Now, there are some factors that take away from the idea that Teagan and Isolde has a *physical* affair, the foremost being Isolde's Devout belief in the Maker. I'd be willing to bet that someone in the Maker's Tenants there's that whole, "Don't sleep with someone other than your Husband/Wife" thing. So...yeah, it's slim that it happened, but there's just as much evidence there to warrant the possibility that it did. Either way, I respect Teagan, and I do like Isolde if only for the Love she has for her Child. So, that's my Two Cents.
