Oh no, don't say lost at sea, don't. Really. Don't!

Hum, I got close t Zevran and from what he told my Pc :
- He doesn't know who is his father because I asked ifit was that man, the woodcutter but he replied to my Pc : "how can I know? My mom was a prostitue"
- He like dalish glove because his mother was one, that's why he liked when I offered him dalish glve, telling me that it make him remebers his mother who was dalish and had some gloves.
- Zévran consider himself as an Anitvan because he was born at Antiva.


@Bioware : well, it was unexpected death O_o"

Much obliged, good sir. Care to explain the Orphanage quote? "One, two, Maric's run through. Three, four, the kingdom's at war"?

Is there not a codex entry for Maric? I see that there isn't -- I thought there was.

If you're truly curious, Maric was lost at sea. Nothing more glamorous than that. Sometimes people simply die.

Was he looking for something?  On a trip to Orlais to visit the Empress maybe, or coming back to Ferelden, Maybe someone assasinated him on board...

lol. Or not.

If that's Alistair's mother, then he's a half-elf... yet has no elven features whatsoever?
Nah.



No, elven and human children are born human, Maric observes his and Fiona's son has round ears and looks a lot like Cailan.


Elven genes are adaptive. Half-elves look very human, but there are subtle differences. I'm not surpised that a half-elf baby looks completely human as babies all tend to be fat and round.

Thank you good sir. Much obliged. But you wouldn't happen to care to explain the Orphanage quote,

"One, Two, Maric's run through
Three, Four, Kingdom's at war"

Mr Gaider, can you confirm whether or not Allistair is the illegitimate child at the end of The Calling and it was just an oversight in the codex that contradicts this? Or is there indeed another contender to the throne running around?

We covered that. Deep throat lamp posts in unhygienic Denerim back alleys.

I'm not sure what that's referring to, sorry. Certainly Maric's death didn't send the kingdom to war, either.

If Alistair is that child, then the codex is either explaining what Alistair assumes about Eamon's reasoning (everything in the codex is what he "told" you, more or less, right?) or it could be an oversight -- if you prefer to believe that. Or there is another child, yes. You're free to speculate. :)

Let's just put the orphanage quote down to "stupid kids". Always works for me, that.

Or maybe it was a mistake in the script and it was really supposed to refer to Cailan.

So since the books don't lie then Alistai was lied to, it's logical since Loghain will have wanted to kill him if he knew he was the grey warden and Maric son.



Thanks for the reply but I though grey warden couldn't have children (okay was told by Alistair again *sigh*)

Hmmm so there's like an expansion/sequel coming yes where this is all explained? I can't think of another reason we're not being told, or there's another novel?



Hee hee... *runs around giddy*

That would certainly make more sense with the "kingdom at war" reference.

Seems that the ghosts were pretty up-to-date on current events, then? Image IPB

Oh it was ghosts, bleh I need to play that bit again. Still, ghosts would surely be the most up to date with who's dead, right? They'd see the "new arrivals" so to speak.

They can but it is highly unlikely. One grey warden with a normal person may have a child, would be hard though. Two grey wardens would be a miracle according to Alistair.

I always got the impression that the codex was not an objective, unbiased repository of knowledge. It's pretty obviously (mostly) from a Ferelden point of view, for example. :)



As for the rhyme, it could just be a made-up fantasy by children.

I'm willing to bet the child was completely unrelated to the events of the game, considering how much action Maric got. :lol:

Just how many illegitamate children does the man have, anyway?

Kings do tend to play around, probably more bastards than we could count on two hands.

The books didn't make Maric seem like the kind of guy that fooled around and I don't believe that he forced himself upon Goldana's mother... but elves in the deep roads are irresistible to him.

Consider that Cailan might have bastards as well. Anora comments that Cailan had his women but he made sure never to embarrass her with them.
