Maric didn't make that choice. And Alistair is doing pretty well all things considered. And even if he wasn't. How would such things be predicted? You cannot honestly blame anyone but Eamon for how Alistairs life went, and even Alistair realises that such things were not done our of hate or spite on Eamon's part.Plaintiff wrote...
And of course the only other option is to leave him in someone's stables on the other side of the country, where he'll be subject to the verbal abuse and manipulations of a jealous harpy, before being dumped at the church like a sack of old clothes.Br3ad wrote...
Bastard children tend to not do well historically when put into the spotlight. I think that Maric did in fact think of Alistair's wellbeing and shielding both of his sons, or three if you so believe, from such things.
Providing more than one heir has also been historically infavorable. Also, Flemeth said that a Blight would come and that Maric would be betrayed. She did not say, "You need to breed on the of chance that your son will be killed by an ogre."Hence my criticism of Maric for failing to remarry and provide legitimate heirs. Thanks for proving my point.Bastard children do not have any legitament claim to the throne. The only reason that Alistar can take it is because the Landsmeet allowed it. Not becasue he really had an actual claim.
Retour en haut
Alistair's where it's at!
