Morrgian - Morgan Le Faye
Alistiar - Arthur
King Arthur fathers a kid with his half sister Morgan Le Fay and that child eventually leads to his downfall. The child, Mordred (in some legends) enhanced with powers from the "old gods" that were there before the new ones (christianity) came to be. Which draws some interesting parallels to the Chant of Light.
Any thoughts on this?
When I thought of it I kept shaking my head as little peices seemed to fit together.
If anything it is a possible place for Gaider to get inspiration from.

A couple of problems with this.
1. It assumes that the Alistiar/Morrigan/Dark Ritual ending is the 'canon' one.
2. It assumes that you place Alistiar on the throne.
3. It assumes that the god-baby is male.
4. It assumes the god-baby will come back to Ferelden and overthrow Alistiar, though Alistiar will be close to the Calling when the god-baby is a god man.
Also, David didn't name Morrigan after Morgan le Fey or the irish goddess, but a PC someone played in a RPG he GMed.
Well think cannon is the Sacrifice as if you play a new character in awakening, youll be a Orlessian Warden for origin and Aliaster will be default king, if or not married to Anora is unsure as far as i can tell.
So i am not sure that the dark promise ever plays into the cannon game, but rather a option to let player keep their character going into awakening without Sacrificing Aliaster.
Which would make sense since game cannon would likely use the tradition that your gonna sacrifice to kill the Arch demon as its part of being warden, to sacrifice and put Ferelden and Thedas needs above your own, think the promotion videos supports that theory aswell, for cannon lore.
