I know it's in the headline, but seriously -- there are spoilers from the books and movies in here. Don't be mad when you hear them from me.

Okay: Alistair. He's a Grey Warden and a Theirin, and as we recently found out, the be Theirin is to share the blood of dragons (whatever that means. The information we have at this point is pretty dubious).

Now, we all know what happens to a Grey Warden when they join the order. They drink the blood of darkspawn, magically prepared, so that they can take on the taint. From that moment on, they begin decaying into one of them. And as the books tell us (and as we see in the case of Larius in Legacy) once a Warden receives their Calling (in which the voice of the Archdemon attracts them the way it would any darkspawn) they effectively start losing their humanity and becoming an intelligent darkspawn-like creature. That's why most Wardens choose to enter the privacy of the Deep Roads and kill as many darkspawn as they can before they themselves are killed. But some live and continue to change.

Okay, bear with me. Alistair also has the blood of dragons.

We all know what an Archdemon is, right? Most agree that it's a High Dragon that holds the soul of an Old God and becomes corrupted when the darkspawn encounter it.

There is power in blood, as we're reminded so many times throughout the DA series.

If Alistair has both dragon blood (which is obviously rather special) and darkspawn blood, does this make him something new? Could Alistair pose some kind of new threat if he's allowed to begin degenerating into darkspawn status?

Now, bear in mind: I'm a habitual Alistair-mancer, and this is really  for me. But I know my Warden would cut Alistair down rather than see him become a monster that poses a new threat to Thedas. And Alistair would want her to.



Too Long / Didn't Read: Alistair has the darkspawn taint and also supposedly shares the blood of dragons. In the world of Thedas, could this be a recipe for a new kind of post-Calling danger to Thedas?

Thanks for reading. I know it's far-fetched, but all thoughts are welcome!

** Edit. This topic was posted in the DA3 forum, even though Alistair was primarily a DA:O companion, because that ship has sailed and we won't see the conclusion of his story in any previous DA games. It would have to play out in DA3 or later, and at this point is simply speculation meant for fun. If you don't like fun or speculation, this is not the topic for you. Thanks!

I totally embrace fan tears.

Any thoughts on an alternative in case Alistair is dead in someone's game? Or do you think it can be contained enough to be its own side plot and not deny someone too much content?
