Actually, to be honest I had completely forgotten that Sebastian had taken a vow of celibacy.

In that case, I guess a sexless marriage is what he means. o_O

(Though I now want to burn dictionaries XD The extramarital definition was the one I was going on, of course.)

I thought the codex said Sebastion had not renewed his vows. Not sure:?.  

O rly?!

I wouldn't have thought Sebastian would feel it necessary to specify that this was the sort of marriage where you don't sleep with other people. That's generally understood as part of the deal. Unless you were proposing to Isabela, maybe.

Arcelonious,

One of his plot gifts was The Book of Shartan. I'd say there's a definite connection.

Ah yes, I forgot about that gift.  It definitely illustrates one possible contributor in how Fenris's faith has developed over the years.

But since in the end his vow of celibacy is brought up, this leaves us with another question.  What was that for?  The reason nuns take that vow is because they're essentially "married to Christ."  So marrying someone else is also on the no-no list. 

Yeah, sort of, that's what they say anyway.....  

The reason nuns and priests take the vow is because that's just what you're supposed to do now as it's the tradition.  It's not like all of them came up with the idea on their own and did it for themself.  But where did that idea originate from?  Well, the answer is money.  If you had children, would you leave you possessions/savings to the church?  No, you'd leave them to your children.  Ugly truth, but indeed truth.

Great thread by the way, great post OP.

I always thought he took the vow (or was forced to take it) as a repentance for his male Isabela lifestyle.

I think it's normal for people entering the Chantry to take such vows.  Leliana's forbidden fruit conversation in Origins gives that impression, anyway.

[Maria Caliban]

An Andrestean priest is only female; they are considered married to the Maker. Lay brothers and sisters take no such vows and neither do Templars.

[mesmerizedish]

Leliana explains that as a lay sister, she took no vows. I wasted no time in tasting that fruit.

[Maria Caliban]

Did it taste like cherries? No, that would be Merrill...

Strawberry? Watermelon? Pina Colada?

[halokitty]

I'm fantasizing about guessing strawberry shortcake with lots of whipped cream.

I thought we had agrees on apple for Merrill? I was going to say Leliana was cherries.

[halokitty]

Merrill is definitely apples. No question. But I think Leliana needs to be some kind of french pastry or dainty cake-thing.

But that's a different metaphor. This is fruit. Cherries are decadently and richly strong and sweet. Just like Leliana.

And, coincidentally, just like Maria this morning ~.~

[halokitty]

I apologize, I thought we were going with food, in general, not simply fruitiness. =) Cherries it is!

It sure pays to play lesbian in this game. Both male romance characters are emotional wrecks.
