Hmm I guess I shall have to read it in order to compare it with the Original then. It´s always interesting to see the changes a translation induces, and your books are definitely worth reading multiple times anyways.

Just wanted to say that The Stolen Throne and The Calling were both really good intros to the world of Dragon Age. I think that the fans who read those books would love to have some more. While it seems like it would be hard to do books leading up to Dragon Age 2 since it starts around the same time aa Origins we would still love to read more.
On a side note I love that when you first meet Alistair of you ask hit about Daveth he wonders why Duncan would want someone like him. Just a nice little thing for those of us that read The Calling. So yes please more Dragon Age books!! Also anything else you write even if its not Dragon Age would be good too.

Off topic: A fellow dane i see, well yeah, but i don't believe any of these books have been translated to danish yet if they are gonna be at all. Although it is possible buying the books from saxo.com, still, they are written in english unless of course that it doesn't matter.Malira wrote...

What about Denmark? Do you know? Probably not since our country tends to get overlooked because of it's size...

Since we are talking about the books, I have been very confused on the ending to which Fiona presents Maric with his son. I am confused as to whether this child is allistair or another child. Considering Alistair believes that his mother was a maid in the king's palace to which Goldanna was his sister, it doesn't line up with the Dragon Age: Origins story line, since they were written at about the same time as the game was being developed I wonder if this is not a mistake but a cover-up tactic through Duncan. Duncan was supposed to be the guardian of the child, and yet Arl Eamon took care of Allistair. This makes me wonder.
I can't speak for David but I think Alistair is not Fiona's son. I mean she gave the boy to Duncan and said she did not want him to know he was Meric's son and have a "normal" life. Well if Alistair is her son Duncan failed hard at all those things. First Alistair always knew he was Merics kid. And then Duncan made him a Warden. If you read The Calling I think Fiona would not want her son to be one.
Sorry, I think you misunderstood me or perhaps I miswrote. What I meant was, that so far the book's (The Calling, Stolen Throne) haven't been translated into danish and I'm not sure they will, anytime soon that is. I myself have ordered The Calling (English Language) since I love the english language and I'm looking forward to reading it. Sorry if I mislead you.Malira wrote...

Though I agree with you, I also believe history repeats itself and Alistair wanted so badly to be out of the Templars, Duncan may have felt sorry enough to recruit him. What better way for Duncan to keep an eye on him though as Fiona had told him to. Plus, I still wonder if Fiona is still alive. I can't remember because I read the books several months ago, but isn't she now immune to the taint? So where is she in all of this? If she finds out about Alistair being the king, would she not i don't know appear?
If Alistair is not the son of Fiona (Maric apparently gets around), it makes me wonder where is the son of Maric and Fiona? Could it be Hawke? No, I suppose it couldn't be because the child was male and Hawke can be male or female technically...still it makes me wonder.

If I remember correctly Fiona went back to Orlies so the Wardens could study her and try to figure out how she beat the taint and all that. She said she would never be coming back.
And about her and Merics kid. If Duncan did things right he is nobody. Just some farmer or something. Thats what Fiona wanted.
At the end of DA:O it looks rather grim for Maric´s bloodline doesn´t it ? No matter how the player decides at the Landsmeet, there is next to no chance that a heir to the current royal family is born (either you have a warden and problems with fertility, two wardens with no possible offspring, or the eternally mourning queen). So a bastard by Maric can be used to built a canon again once the current ruler of Ferelden dies in a few decades.ilara wrote...

Okay to play devils advocate, why then would they write it in the end of the book? Why not leave it. From a writer's perspective not from a reader's perspective it only creates a loose end to be tied up somewhere. It creates conflict which is a writers best tool for hooking in readers. Why would they go into such detail and effort to create a child that has no purpose? In real life it would be fine because everyone has ability to do whatever he or she wants to in life. However, from a writer's standpoint, there would be no purpose if the child was not to be developed as a character.
Well not in any store I know of, but you can get them from a danish site here www.saxo.com if it interest you?Malira wrote...
