It is known in the lore that Andraste had several children with her husband but it is theroized that they have all died before having their own children. The Chantry supports this claim.

 

What if a few (one) of them actually survived and had children (and descendants) till now?

 

I wonder if the developers of DAI will go down this route and declare that one of your companions is actually the heir of Andraste.

 

Maybe Leliana is the heir of Andraste since she claimed she had heared the Maker (although only Andraste is supposed to hear the Maker). I mean Leliana is the developer's pet after all. Varric is as well but I don't think they will claim a dwarf is Andraste's long-lost heir.

As i know it, human is a dominate gene. so they wouldn't be a dwarf.

 

But that would be kinda interesting if it happened.

If that happens, I may facepalm myself to death.

I think its safe to assume that the human inquistor may be a descendant of Andraste. Since Ostwick probably have more ties with Ferelden due to thier heads of state being called Teyrns. Also the human family have strong ties with the chantry for many generations.

i was actually thinking of that but it would be unfair to the other races. Since human is a dominant trait (especially with elves), i think it will be a human character and most likely Leiliana.

 

What about Qunari? if humans and Qunaris mated, will their offsprings be humans, qunaris or mixed?

They wouldn't make players of one race such a special snowflake while all the others are normal.

I just woke up and my first thought at the thread topic was "What the hell does Andraste's hair have to do with anything?"  I'm sorry, I'll leave now...

Andraste had multible kids but they all mysteriously died before having children? Hm, yeah, I can see there being a cover up by the Chantry there so it can have all the power, possibly. But how would Bioware build on that without it being a copy of the Da Vinci Code?

[caradoc2000]

I could live with that as long as Tom Hanks won't appear.

yeah, who would want to pray to a Goddness who has living descendants around?

 

of course, the Chantry would cover it up.

 

So i think this storyline may come out soon.

It could just be a side quest that mentioned some lived, but whereabouts unknown.

Yeah, though sounds a bit lackluster if it's handled that way since Andraste is supposed to be a pretty huge deal (and the inquisitor is apparently her Herald)

Please note that the original source of the real-world analogon is not the book by Dan Brown (whose books, BTW, should be ignored because he can't write), but the book "The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail" by Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh, published in the early 1980s, which presents it as a conspiracy theory.

[Wolfen09]

It's an interesting thought, but i doubt they would make it leliana.... more than likely it would be a new character introduced, like some sort of major faction player or major enemy....  and no im not gonna go the route of flemeth being a descendant of andraste, as that already is giving me a headache and i havent even delved into that.

[Lilaeth]

I think this could be an interesting plot device, if handled properly.  And it's a plot that goes back in history waaaaaaaaaaay before Dan 'Crappy Writer' Brown, so he has no copyright over it! 

[Gorguz]

I'd like you to remove the title of that book. It was really really really really a bad story, don't remind me of it

True. The Da Vinci Code is just the most famous example nowadays.

 

As for the theory itself, who knows. Maybe it could be a plot point. Or maybe it could be regarded as a conspiracy theory like in the real world. A codex entry, or a book. It wouldn't be the first time. One of the gifts for Wynne was a book called "The Search for the True Prophet" and it suggested that Andraste was a mage. I wouldn't be surprised if there are other books implying that some of Andraste's children survived.

Where does it say Andraste had kids?  Don't tell me I've got to go through WoT again.  I can read that thing 20 times and not catch stuff.

There was an answer from Gaider for that question in the old forums years ago:

http://web.archive.o...m/thread/684017

 

Look for the question "Sons of his and Andraste's?"

 

"So this means there are blood descendants of Andraste out there?" you might ask. Possibly -- though each of her sons was killed in the civil wars that tore the south apart after Maferath's death, and their families supposedly slain. There have been many claimants in the centuries since, saying they were descendants of survivors, but the Chantry has disavowed each of them. To date there are no known legitimate heirs to Andraste's blood.

u can read in Dragonage wikia. Search for Andraste.

[RobRam10]

You know if Leliana was a descendant to Andraste I think the Guardian of the Temple of the Sacred Ashes would have notice.

[Jedi Master of Orion]

You know Andraste having an heir in present Thedas wouldn't really be significant. Her actual sons had no special authority in the Cult of the Maker. Why would her descendant a thousand years removed have any?

[Br3admax]

Human isn't a dominant trait either. There are half-dwarves and qunari.

i mean maybe the answer to the Mage-Templar war would be Andraste's descendant descending upon in the middle of the battlefield and casting spells to stop the war.

 

The Chantry has always avocate "Magic exists to serve man, not to rule over them" so the if Andraste's descendant is a mage, the people fighting the mages would have nothing to fight for and the mages can have their freedom. I don't think they would kill Andraste's descendantsor lock them in a tower. It is a blasphemy.

[Jedi Master of Orion]

There was only one Bride of the Maker and her point about magc being dangerous would still be true. Andraste's descendant being mage would literally mean nothing.
