Now this is a topic what been on my mind ever since I saw them in Dragon Age Inquisition, and thought you know Cailan has been dead for a long time now. And as for Alistair he could be single or A widower to a dead Warden, now if he was with a female Warden  who was alive  he obviously wouldn't hook up with her, but if he was Single it would be his only option. as for a widower Alistair he is in the same boat as Anora lost the person they love and what is the, normal healthy thing, to do move on. If he couldn't or wouldn't he wouldn't be a really good king now would he.

I think Anora reminded him of Loghain?

Unless he's forced to date her , I don't see this happening.(in my playthrough Alistair also killed Loghain in front of Anora and then jailed her in some dungeon.Not super romantic.)

There are others female nobles around afterall.

why would Queen Anora hook up with a corpse?

Went on holiday to Navarra, came back a changed person. 

[TheRevanchist]

I would like to think so, as I am a supporter of an Heir of the combined Therein and McTeir bloodlines. 

[Dieb]

I'm pretty sure Isabela and Al did it.

 

Better choice all around. Not medically, but still.

Alistair can also be legitimately married to Anora for the past ten years. They show up together in Inquisition in that case, and seem to make a pretty good team.

 

And I wouldn't put it in such crass terms as "hooking up," but yes, there are circumstances where I can absolutely see them growing close over time. If they've been married since the end of the Blight and Loghain wasn't killed then, there's no reason they couldn't have grown familiar with each other and developed mutual respect, a friendship, and even a relationship of mutual comfort over the years. Ten years is a long time to hold grudges and stay miserable just for the sake of it. They seem to work well together on the throne at the time of DAI, so who's to say they can't have found a good partnership in each other.

 

I also really like the idea of a Theirin-Mac Tir heir. I know bloodlines are silly things to cling to, but I think of Moira and Gareth and it makes me sad to see both their lines spent like that, after everything they did for Ferelden.

[Lady Artifice]

now if he was with a female Warden  who was alive  he obviously wouldn't hook up with her,

 

I'm not so sure about that. Producing an heir is one of the most intrinsic responsibilities of a royal couple, and one presumes that an Alistairmancing Warden who encourages him to marry Anora realizes that will be a factor of the marriage. 

[Dieb]

The point above was actually meant to reference Those Who Speak. And following peripheral media, if he just has a hint of Maric's blood in him, I think the terrible truth is that no, Alistair has probably not remained faithful to the Warden.

 

At least physically.

I'm hoping Bioware will do a smaller game that can refocus on Alistair and the Ferelden throne. I don't know what Flemeth planned when she helped Calenhad become a Reaver, but the Theirin bloodline is potentially much stronger now. Reaver inheritance, half-elf, and Grey Warden joined. Combine that with Anora and you've got serious offspring.

[BobZilla84]

In my Cannon World State Alistair is dead and Anora is married to my Warden I am happy that DAI confirmed they are happy together and it was awesome to know Anora was sad that my Warden went missing.

Good Stuff oh and heres hoping theres a few little Cousland/Mac Tirs running around the Palace in Denerim.

[Steelcan]

so a mostly sterile Grey Warden and a probably barren woman....

[jlb524]

They're married in my world state so I guess that's a "yes".

[BobZilla84]

so a mostly sterile Grey Warden and a probably barren woman....

Well to be fair my warden already has one son already Kieran and considering how Leliana is his Mistress and not to mention he slept with Isabella as well so who knows anything is possable hell he may have an Elf Blooded child as well considering he slept with Gheyna.

hey a dungeon can be romantic. if you get what I mean

I was going to say do you think king Alistair/Warden and Anora do the do but I changed my mind 

[Dark Helmet]

If you took the time to make them marry it hardly matters.

 

Therin bloodline's done with Alistair either way unless they had an unmentioned child or Alistair divorces her for someone less barren.

[TheRevanchist]

There is no actual proof she is barren. It was rumor mongering among the nobles, but nothing was proven. 

[Gervaise]

There are a lot of permutations to the whole Alistair/Anora pairing but essentially they both accept their duty to Ferelden, which includes producing an heir.   If Alistair actually is responsible for killing Loghain, then Anora would not agree to marry him; she says as much if you try to engineer a match between them.    However, provided the Warden or someone else kills Loghain, then she is agreeable enough to the arrangement and the epilogue says she is pleasantly surprised at his efforts to be a good king, so I think she would warm to him over time.   Alistair certainly holds no grudge against Anora; if you make him king alone he won't even think of having her put to death, which she is quite willing to do if their roles are reversed.     My most recent Warden spared Loghain, who later sacrificed himself, and arranged the marriage between them.   Even though Alistair threw a hissy fit when I spared Loghain, their marriage was still accounted successful in the epilogue and they duly turned up together at Redcliffe in DAI (10 years later).    The main obstacle to producing a heir would be Alistair having the taint and Anora (possibly) being barren, although that was only Eamon's conjecture about the reason for the lack of an heir from Cailan when it could just as easily been Cailan who was firing blanks.     If married to Anora, I think Alistair would be faithful (unless the Warden is his official mistress which Anora would know about).    The comic book series, I believe, takes place in a world state where Alistair rules alone.

[Carmen_Willow]

If they are King and Queen of Ferelden, and were Alistair not a Grey Warden, I would say yes. Both would feel obligated to try for an heir to the throne.  However, Alistair is well aware that the taint has probably rendered him sterile by now, and Anora thinks Alistair looks entirely too much like his elder half-brother for comfort. So, given that there is little chance of producing a viable heir to the throne, I say no. Theirs is a marriage of political convenience. Alistair, no doubt, will find a perfectly lovely mistress to pass the time with, and Anora will continue to love the execution of power. She will not begrudge Alistair his mistress, in fact, she will encourage it. 

 

I believe after ten years, they are probably something resembling business partners/friends, but they shall never be lovers.

[sorentoft]

I see no reason why not. There's no way Anora wouldn't fall for Alistair's charm after that long. And besides, Alistair isn't the type to carry grudge against the daughter because of the sins of the father.

[DarkKnightHolmes]

Alistair dreams of Loghain as he does her and she dreams of Cailan while she does him. How romantic.

[riverbanks]

And following peripheral media, if he just has a hint of Maric's blood in him, I think the terrible truth is that no, Alistair has probably not remained faithful to the Warden.

Well, but...

 

Yes, Maric was an idiot for falling for Katriel's cheap trick - but he wasn't responsible for Rowan's feelings for him at the time. If someone falls in love with you, you're not obligated to return those feelings. Arranged marriages have that risk run tenfold then, one person may end up taking their feelings beyond the political while the other doesn't. It happens, sometimes people fall in love with you and you're already in love with someone else, and it sucks and everyone gets hurt, but it isn't really anyone's fault. 

 

In any case, later, once they were married, there are no accounts of Maric having affairs or cheating on Rowan; his hookup with Fiona happened when his wife was two years dead. He was very easy to charm, but never actually unfaithful to the women he was with, one at a time.

 

Cailan "had his women" according to Anora, but other than that little infodrop, we really know nothing of their marriage. We don't know if they were happily married and Cailan simply had a consort on the side as every other monarch would (as even a female Warden can be with King Alistair, or Leliana and Zevran can be with the Warden), or if they were miserable together and he seeked affection in someone else, or even if what Anora thought she knew about Cailan's affairs was true in the end. She resents him for supposedly courting Celene, for instance, but Eamon's letter reveals it was his idea, and Cailan was loudly and bitterly against dissolving his marriage to Anora. In the end all we have is guesses here.

 

That is to say, the Theirin boys get this fame of being these wild mansluts who can't keep it in their pants, but... there are no receipts for this. On Maric's side of the coin, having sex with three different people at three different points of your life hardly makes a person promiscuous. On Cailan's side, a monarch having a royal consort was not necessarily considered disohonorable (look at how Leliana even enjoys social status out of being a married Warden's consort at the Orlesian ball) and Anora does say he was at least discreet enough not to humiliate her; and it was never his idea to dump Anora for another woman either. They were both actually kinda sorta decent men, easy passions and juvenile flights of fancy aside, so there's no reason to think that Alistair would be physhically or emotionally unfaithful to the Warden based on a family history of rampant infidelity that... isn't really there.

...Alistair is nowhere near Maric, in that regard. And blood is hardly a determining factor in his actions.

 

If Alistair slept with Anora while still romancing the Warden, then I guarantee that it only happened cause the Warden was cool with it. Alistair is not the kind of guy, hardened or not, to sleep around while in a relationship, unless the Warden was ok with it.

I almost always marry them off so I like to think that they became romantically involved over the years or developed some kind of respectful partnership at least.
