Thank you.

This is not the fate I initially planned for her. I wanted a happy ending, with her and Alistair as Monarchs.
But then I fell in love with her character so much, that, in a weird sense, thought a tragic ending suited her better and was more beautiful.  

And just writing this, I've decided that Aurora will burn the city of Amaranthine to the ground, *only* because it represents the accomplishements of the Howes. That's how ruthless and petty she becomes. Borderline insane really.

Clemons Amell's (blood mage/Arcane Warrior) story ends with him wandering off to find . . . an acceptable method of immortality after his friend, Alistair the puppet king, dies and a new ruler is appointed. Whether or not Amell finds what he's looking for is up in the air . . .

<--- Daylen became senior enchanter at the Circle. Moved there with Leliana and had a daughter, Elinor. He defeated the Mother when called upon. Along with Wynne and Anders he began studying a way to remove the taint from a warden, even contacting Avernus for support. Ultimately only finding a way to lessen the effect, and after Wynne's death, he along with Leliana and Elinor move to Denerim become the chief advisor to Alistair, Anora, and their children. Anders remained at the Circle and eventually married and elvan servent girl. Eventually Elinor marries Alistair oldest son and becomes queen. Daylen is haunted by the taint for the rest of his life but the closeness of Leliana, Elinor, and Alistair make it controllable, dying right before Leliana at the hands of a back alley thief.

@Heavenblade cool quote.. always liked that one.



My Warden Aranel Tabris went into the deep roads shortly after Alistairs funeral following the Archdemon battle. She just didn't want to go on any longer alone, and knew that there would be more warden's from Orlais to take over. She had simply lost to much in her short life.



Yes I realize it is angsty, but it was how I wanted her to go, not to go on and lead wardens, I wanted her to be able to make one selfish decision in her life, screw duty!

[Tindl]

Canon ending for my MHN - he and Alistair go to fight the archdemon, Aedan stating firmly that Ferelden needed its King, they hug (in a manly fashion), Aeden takes the final blow. He is forever remembered by King Alistair and Queen Anora, who go on to rule together justly and fairly - a huge festival is held every year on the anniversary of his death, and each year it is rumoured that a strange looking female attends, with a small daughter, nods almost with satisfaction, then leaves again before anyone can ask questions.

----

I have to put the bit in about the daughter, cos the end credits mention Morrigan being seen, possibly with child, even though I didn't do the ritual in my first run through :s I assume she got the child before she departed, since she and Aedan had a bit of a thing briefly, before she deserted them.

Interesting, so in your run Morrigan was already pregnant when she would've offered the ritual and it was too late to use the daughter to draw the soul in?

If you romance Morrigan at all and sleep with her then she ends the game pregnant but it never seems to stop people who do the DR from surviving.

My Lady Aeducan returns to Orzammar with Gorim in charge of House Aeducan while she leads an army into Deep Roads in an effort to reclaim the lost thiags and hopefully to restore some of their former glory. When Grey Warden duties call her away to the surface, she will also spend her time trying to track down drunk Alistair to try to make amends.

As I said, I had to put that bit in because of the end credit thingy. But sure, it's entirely possible she was pregnant, and didn't know I guess. Bear in mind, she's effectively pregnant before you kill the archdemon. It's not like you sleep with her at the exact time you slay the archdemon - you've already done the dark deed, even if it was just 12 hours before, say. By the time you get to the archdemon, could even be 24 hours later. I don't suppose a few hours would make much difference - I get the impression it just has to be a Dark Warden kid.

[KnightofPhoenix]

It's actually more than 48 hours between the DR and the battle of Denerim. Probably more. When we do the DR, the darkspawn are 2 days away from Denerim. When we get to Denerim, the Darkspawn are already inside. So it's more than 48 hours, probably 72 and more.

[Costin_Razvan]

72 hours cross country Knight? Let's be real here a bit shall we? Cross country would take at least a week or two, because the Darkspawn also have the advantage of already moving towards Denerim before you even find out and they also have the advantage of not needing to sleep or eat.

[KnightofPhoenix]

I said *at least* 72 hours. It's probably more than that.

It can't be much more though, as the darkspawn had not taken the alienage by the time we arrive. A week, 2 weeks tops.

[Costin_Razvan]

It takes two days for them to arrive, I doubt any human army can match the Darkspawn in speed. Perhaps an all cavalry one...maybe.

It can't be much more though, as the darkspawn had not taken the alienage by the time we arrive. A week, 2 weeks tops.

I would go with 2 or 3 weeks, based on other forced marches in history. While the Alienage still holds, it is a heavily fortified part of the city with two narrow bridges at both exists...it's basically a killing zone.



The fact the rest of the city has fallen shows how long it took to get there.

[KnightofPhoenix]

It takes oen day to go to the Circle Tower from Redcliff.
If based on this: http://www.polishthe...erelden-map.jpg
Then a band of travellers can reach Denerim, from Redcliff, in about 5/6 days.

If it's an army we are talking about, it's probably 10-12 days, tops 14/15. I doubt it's much more than 2 weeks. Ferelden is a small coutnry, so no use trying to apply historical forced marches unless they happen to be exactly the same size as Ferelden.

And I doubt the elves who were too cowardly to hold their ground unless persuaded to, are goign to take advantage of the Alienage's defenses properly. Especially not when they are hiding behind a wooden gate that takes a few seconds for an Ogre to break. My guess is that most of them fled.

My Grey Warden moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico to live in the back of a gasoline station with Elvis, Marylin Monroe and Jim Morrison. Although sightings of the Grey Warden Mage at doughnut shops and coming in and out of various establishments around the world abound.

Of Wardens I have many, and whilst not all have definitive endings, some most certainly do.



The first time Victor Cousland lay eyes on Queen Anora, it was love at first sight, at least as far as he was concerned. She quickly had him wrapped around her little finger and he would do just about anything to please her, from sparing her father to arranging for Arl Eamon to have a nasty accident for daring to try and undermine her. He spent the rest of his days running the wardens while his wife ran the country - an arrangement that seemed to suit them both. To her disgust he did, finally, manage to get her pregnant, and their only argument was about whether the boy would be named after his father or hers.



Fayla, my Dalish elf, was deeply mistrustful of any shem until she met and fell for Alistair. She was dismayed to find that he was, in fact, Maric's son, and did what she could to dissuade him from seeking power. She was heartened to hear that he did not wish to become king, and happily pledged her support to Anora at the Landsmeet. Consequently, she was shocked and horrified when Alistair, fresh from his duel with Loghain, announced himself as the new king, and promptly dumped her in front of her companions. So angry was she that she refused to speak to him thereafter, and when the chastened Alistair offered to take the final blow against the Archdemon, she did not dissuade him, but instead turned her back upon him. After accepting thanks from the reinstated Anora, she returned to her people and was hailed as a hero. However, so bitter and angry was she that she soon found herself shunned, and eventually slunk off into the forests alone, where she was mauled to death by a bear.



Thorn, my city elf, accepted an offer from her lover, Leliana, to visit Orlais, and the pair had some pleasant months of travel before events took a sinister turn. A chevalier took an interest in the pretty young elf, and attempted to force himself upon her, but having survived one attempted rape in Denerim, Thorn took a dim view of this, stuck a knife through his eye and then hacked off his male appendage. After being informed by Leliana that it was a chevalier's right to take any woman he chose, Thorn took it upon herself to become a female avenger, and to this day, tales are still told of the mad elf who hunted chevaliers and kept their organs as trophies.



My arcane warrior was only too happy to escape the Circle tower, no matter what the cost. Still, she was horrified to learn of her eventual fate from Alistair - though she was not afraid to die, she had a horror of confined spaces and was determined not to meet her end in the claustrophobic confines of the Deep Roads. Consequently, she determined that she would be the one to slay the Archdemon, but when it came to it, she found that she could not deny Loghain his redemption, for she had developed an unrequited love for the man whose exploits she had read about during her long incarceration in the Circle tower.

She soldiered on as Warden Commander for some years, but missed the friends she had made during the Blight and found it hard to make new ones. As her time approached, she found herself dreading a return to the Deep Roads and began to have intense nightmares about being smothered by rock. She became increasingly reckless, and when news of an invading Qunari force reached Amaranthine, it was to no one's surprise that she immediately abandonned the wardens to join up with the Fereldan army. As fate would have it, she met Sten on the battlefield and did not survive. Witnesses say that she laughed at her death, the whether this was at the irony of being run through with the very sword she had helped him fine, or whether it was relief at dying under an open sky, few could say. In time she was largely forgotten, reduced to a footnote in volumes chronicalling the rise, fall and redemption of one Loghain Mac Tir. This was not, however, to her dissatisfaction.

Travel around the world with Leliana, never again to return to Vigil's Keep. Im guessing that means I stay with Leliana even to the point that the blight takes me and I die.

I've finished the game four times, but my first Warden, after Awakening...

Aleyna Cousland returned to Denerim a year and a day after her mysterious disappearance, and the people of Ferelden never knew where their queen had been in that time. Some said she'd gone chasing after the notorious witch Morrigan in Orlais. Others said that she'd been all the way to Weisshaupt on some secret Warden mission. A few whispered that she'd gone to Antiva to dally with the famed assassin Zevran Aranai. Those closest to her suspected that she had been trying to find a magical cure for the infertility that afflicted her.

If so, she had not found one - Aleyna never bore Alistair an heir, and in time it became clear that the Theirin line would be truly extinguished with his passing. Alistair refused to put his queen aside and take another wife, to the frustration of many among the Ferelden nobility. However, with decades to prepare, the monarchs did their best to ensure that there was a clear line of succession. It was made known that they wished the throne to pass to the Cousland family through Aleya's nieces and nephews, Fergus Cousland having.remarried by this time to carry on the family name. This was not a choice that everyone approved of, and it caused much disagreement among the Arls and Banns.

This was not the only controversy during the last Theirin reign. Queen Aleyna's insistence on the granting of a homeland to the Dalish elves did not please all, especially when so many humans had been displaced by the Blight and the civil war. Even more outrageously, she made both Elder Valendrian and the mage Wynne court advisers - the first time in living memory that elves and magic users had served the monarchs officially.

Although daily control of the Grey Wardens at Vigil's Keep was placed in the hands of others after the defeat of the Mother, both Alistiar and Aleyna kept a close eye on Amaranthine in the following years. The Wardens' numbers in Ferelden grew steadily under their watch.

Aleyena's faithful Mabari lived to an impressive old age. Whenever she left her husband's side, Aleyna gave her hound strict instructions to keep a close eye on him and not allow the kingdom to be burned down in her absence. He was the founder of a whole dynasty of Ferelden warhounds, and many an Ash Warrior boasted possession of a beast descended from his line.

Eventually, King Alistair began to suffer the effects of the Calling. While her own time might have stretched a few months or years longer, Aleyna would not leave her husband's side this time, and they walked into the Deep Roads together. What happened there is the subject of song and story, but no more is truly known of them.

Fem Noble Warden is infertile? When does THAT happen?

Breanna Cousland, one of the last two surviving Grey Wardens, spent more than a year traveling across Ferelden with her companions, gathering an allies to fight the Blight. At the famous Landsmeet that settled the Civil War and united Ferelden she conscripted Teyrn Loghain, as a punishment and a chance to redeem his reputation as the Hero of River Dane. Queen Anora was granted the throne. Rumours say the other Grey Warden who survived Ostagar was a bastard son of the late King Maric and half-brother of the late King Cailan but he disappeared after the Landsmeet.

Loghain killed the Archdemon and died a hero. Breanna Cousland, who was now called the Hero of Ferelden, went to Amaranthine and became Warden Commander and Arlessa. Another rumour says she had a son but no one knew who the father was or what became of the child, some say the child was stillborn because it had been tainted (tained with what?). She fought to save Amaranthine city against the Darkspawn threat, leaving the Vigil not nearly as well-protected.

She was said to be a beautiful woman but somewhat cold, with a heart of ice.

About 7 years after the Blight she fell ill for a long time, leaving her second Nathaniel Howe and Seneschal Varel in charge of the Wardens and the arling. Eventually she recovered but it is said the illness never truly left her. A tale was made up from this episode of her life claiming that she had been sleeping for a year and was kissed awake by a prince, with golden eyes and long blonde hair (or was it a pirate?) but that's just a silly bedtime story.

Not very long after she recovered she left Amaranthine, making Nathaniel Howe the Warden Commander and Arl of Amaranthine with permission of Queen Anora. No one knows where she went but it should have been too early for her Calling.

*giggles* Of course, I know where she wanted to go, but I doubt she found what she was looking for.
When DA2 comes out I'll see if she will visit Kirkwall at one time.

Edit: Just to make things clear, she did have a son, she gave him away as is customary with the Grey Wardens. And the main reason for saving Amarathine city would be because her son (who's name is Finn) was living there with his foster family.  I'm very much in love with this foster family because they have a very interesting story, too. Their names are Soeren and Tomma.

Edit 2: And because it was mentioned one post above mine. Yes, Wardens do suffer severly decreased fertility, making conception very rare. In my story I used Avernus' potion as the main reason why I ignored this fact. He wanted to use the taint to make the Wardens stronger, after all.

Will Cousland ruled as queen beside her love Alistair until they went to their calling together.

Aura Surana Went to Antiva and killed everyone involved in the crows and then her and Zev made like bunnies until their calling.  I say their because Zevran refused to allow Aura to face the deep roads alone, in his words he never expected to live this long anyway. They named their firstborn Ambush.Zev actually wanted to name Ambush's twin sister that but Aura put her foot down no daughter of hers would be named anything with the word bush in it.

My Warden, Thomas (naming my character after myself, how original!) passed on command of Vigil's Keep, briefly took up his position as Chancellor of Ferelden again, but eventually resigned, tired of the politics of Denerim and possessed of a desire to see Morrigan again left with alone, leaving his friends behind (except his loyal dog). Whether or not he found her. . . Who knows? (Which means yes). But it is said that 30 years later, he returned to Ferelden, and descended into the Deep Roads with King Alistair for one final battle.

My Aedan stayed with Alistair in Amaranthine for many years after the Blight. Five years after the Blight, Alistair was called to Weishaupt and Aedan went after him and they traveled for some time, but eventually returned to Vigil's Keep. About twenty years later, Alistair's taint had progressed to the point that he had to go to the Deep Roads. Though Aedan's time was not yet approaching, he chose to accompany Alistair on that final journey rather than face his last years alone.

For, my first (complete) playthrough: Silvia Cousland, I never really thought about her epilogue all that much, but I'll share what happened.

Silvia had grown very close to Alistair over the months and even years of wandering Ferelden, building an army. She had given up her noble title when she joined the Grey Wardens, but when Arl Eamon pushed for Alistair to claim his heritage, she saw her chance to make Ferelden a better place beyond ending the Blight. She and Alistair claimed the throne from Anora, who was imprisoned after Loghain's execution (despite failing to gain the Landsmeet's support).
She was unwilling to sacrifice herself or her love to end the Blight, however, and convinced Alistair to participate in Morrigan's ritual. The Archdemon was slain and she and Alistair were able to rule Ferelden together. What happens after, well, I'm not really sure.

My second (complete) playthrough: Alim Surana, I've got a bit more thought out.

Alim was a strong wellspring of compassion. His studies had focused on the healing arts and thus was a great boon to his travelling companions. This compassion allowed him to spare his would-be assassin: Zeveran. Much to both men's surprise, they fell for each other, even if it took Zeveran much longer to realize this.
However, Alim's compassion also got him in to trouble. Unwilling to execute a man who had surrendered to him, Alim allowed Loghain to be recruited into the Grey Wardens, which caused Alistair to leave after saying some very painful things to Alim. Even so, Alim belived Loghain, the hero of River Dane, deserved a chance at redemption and allowed the great general to slay the Archdemon.
Alim stayed in Denerim for some time, unsure of what to do next, spending some quality time with Zeveran and overseeing the construction of the Grey Warden monument. Soon, he would be called upon to oversee the Arling of Ameranthine, but that is a story best saved until I get Awakening.

I do plan on eventually typing up fanfictions of my various Wardens, I just need to get around to it.
