You can't be a King, period. What you are is a Prince, married to a Queen.

After marrying her can't you call a Landsmeet and challenge Anora to a duel? :)

Anyway, the rules of ascension seem confusing to me. Apparently Anora, daughter of a freeman elevated to titled noble, marries the King and her title is Queen but not Princess Consort

If Alistair marries Anora his title is King but not Prince only because he is a royal bastard?

If you are a human noble female, and marry King Alistair, you are only Princess Consort but never Queen. Why? Particularly when the Cousland family seems to be more blue blooded than Anora's.

Consider the case of Queen Elizabeth of the English throne. She is married to Philip -- but does that make him the King? No, it makes him the Prince-Consort as she is the ruling Queen. It's possible that your character may one day become a proper King or Queen, but as of the Landsmeet the distinction is clear.

I am still confused though as to why Anora has the title of Queen and not Princess Consort given that she married into the royal family.  

[Edit: It's my understanding that she holds the title of Queen prior to the Landsmeet.  Therein lies my confusion.  I understand why she has the title of Queen after the Landsmeet since the duel settles all challenges to the throne.]

[Post Edit: In the grand scheme of things, it really doesn't matter.  It's just something silly to quibble about :D]

That has to do with the agreement made when she was married. To go back to Queen Elizabeth, she *could* have made Philip a King when she married him (or I presume she could) but it was decided that she would remain Queen-Regnant and he would not be a King in truth.

When Anora, daughter to a Teyrn and a living legend in Ferelden, married Cailan it was a marriage of equals. Anora is not a Theirin, true, but that was the arrangement made. Whether the player's marriage could eventually lead to them being declared a King/Queen, or controlling their spouse as a puppet or what have you, is part of whatever story lies in the future -- if and when it's told. To quote another source "THAT is another tale for another day." Image IPB
