There would be no need to actually enter the city.  All that the Andrastean nations (and I have to believe the Divine would organize a large scale attack) would need is to blockade the city until they starved.   And while it's possible that Par Vollen could send a fleet to break the siege, I doubt they would.  Maintaining a beach head so far from their main areas of interest doesn't seem likely to be worth the trouble. 

And to be honest, i'm skeptical that the Qunari are numerous enough to defeat the combined forces of the guard, the Templar and the Circle mages. I think they were only as successful as they were because of the impact of surprise. 

Of course they would have to enter the city, there is no way they could take it back without going in. And like I said, they can control sea traffic, so a blockade of supplies and reinforcements in impossible. They already would have defeated the city the question was they could they whole it and again like I said, you could amass an army of 8 billion people outside of the city, but they all cant fit into the city. Making numbers pointless on top of that, large groups would be canon fodder for the Black Powder like the above poster mentioned. A siege from outside the city would not work, it was designed against that very kind of attack. The only way to do it, would be to sneak in small groups into the heart of the city to cripple their defenses and then a siege could begin.

Huh?  All Kirkwall can do is prevent ships from moving in and out of the Waking Sea (maybe, not sure they can really accomplish this without ships).  They still have to get food from somewhere and the immediate vicinity doesn't appear very fertile.  Par Vollen is more than 1000 miles away and the fleets of all the Free Marches and Antivan cities would be arraigned against them.  Plus, there's no reason to think that Par Vollen is going to declare war on the White Chantry in order to save a couple hundred Qunari who have failed in their mission.

The city is designed to withstand a siege but it isstill  vulnerable if it does not have the ships to control the sea.


Besides, if they had the power to defeat Meredith, they would have gone after the Gallows first, because that's where the real power is in Kirkwall. The fact that it's Meredith who is able to go on on the offensive makes it pretty clear that the Arishok did not think they could capture the Gallows.  They just don't have the manpower.  If they did, they wouldn't be fooling around with hostages.  The side with military superiority has no need for hostages.

The Qunari had no interrest in staying in Kirkwall. They would have converted the populace, to the best of their ability, found the tome (which they had already done by that time), and left.

Pretty sure if Darkspawn Chronicles got a better reception, we would have gotten some sort of Qunari Chronicles where the Qunari win even though it makes no damned sense.

I think they were doomed and knew they were doomed but the demands of the religon were such that they just couldn't sit there and let the slight go unpassed.

Like most fanatics they were ready to die for their religion, it wasn't an invasion.

They would have probablly died as merideth and her templars and the mages were through the door after the arishock boss fight... Hawke and party were just there first
