In the end, if he/she's a bastard, he could still conquer Denerim with army at his/her back Unlikely, but possible.

I'd be really surprised if the OGB wasn't a mage. (Kind of pointless to be the reincarnation of the old god if you can't do supernatural old god stuff, right? Right.) Mages can't inherit titles of nobility in Ferelden, as far as I know. Someone get the commissioner to turn on the Gaider signal. His city needs him to clarify inheritance rules.

Tell that to my mage who is the Arl of Amaranthine and a teryn of Gwaren.

Sorry I misread.

I thought this was another thread about visible long hair.

 

In that case it would have been the 'hair apparent'.

 

On with the thread...

OGB is probably a Mage

Mages are not allowed to inherit titles in ferelden

Even if he isnt a mage, Ferelden monarchs also need to be approved by the landsmeet, Alistair only can even be considered because he has a very powerful arl backing him, and still only wins if you manage to get a lot of other nobles on your side. The OGB is not just a mages bastard child but he was not raised by ferelden nobility that would back him getting the throne


He also has no way to prove alistair is his dad, unless alistair owns up to it, the kid has no proof.

Kind of off-topic, but I think Flemeth is another OGB, done with the ritual to save a Warden in the past in the same way.  After all, she turns into a dragon, and she says something about her mother telling her to seek revenge.  I think she wants revenge on the ancient magisters for creating the darkspawn and corrupting her kind.

Alistair was never legitimized...

 

Alistair legitimized himself when a crown was placed on his head.  He was placed on a throne by the victors in a civil war. Might made right.

 

OGB could theoretically go the same route and seize a throne by force, but in order to do that he is going to need a fair amount of chaos similar to the Fereldan Civil War and enough support among the nobility to field an army that could back his claim. Getting that support would be a fairly tall order, especially considering he'd be the lowborn bastard of an apostate Chasind swamp witch.

I never thought about that..it would be delightly ironic that someone with the soul of urthemiel end as a ruler of ferelden.
