In that case, King Meghren's dead cousin Felix?

So now Morrigan's and Alistair's little squabbles are now literally Sibling squabbles.

Why are you so sure Alistair will exist?:evil:

FYI I think it is kind of funny that you made your highest roll a crit. The boons were roughly meant to represent the different stats. Martial had of course be needed to be split up or it would have been too OP. Treasure (Stewardship), Fleet, Armory and Stable (Martial), Prisoner (Diplomacy), Artifact(Piety) and last but not the least Documents (Intrigue). Considering how Orlais has a massive advantage over Ferelden in this category it was a smart choice.

I will try to get the update out before I go to sleep tonight but honestly the options alone are 33 pages so it could take a little bit more time than I think. To not leave you without anything to discuss or think about I will give you your list of adviser now, but they will be included in the first turn vote. So this is not a vote.

If possible I would avoid to disband the nightelves they were realy efficients and it could be a way to ameliorate there rights by military service.
 
Well, shit. I was thinking of running a Ferelden CK2 Quest in the future as well, albeit also based on Meiou and Taxes, with a heavily revamped attributes/action system, and the initial PC being a crowned male Cousland. Would that be trampling on this quest if I were to start that up in the future if this quest is still running by then?

They were wiped out saving the main characters from an ambush before the quest started. There exist only like a handful of survivors.

Cause Alistair is an badass character and he needs to be born? :p
Rowan would need to die. Then Maric would need to go on the adventure with the Grey Wardens and make sweet sweet love to Fiona...it is possible but considering her stats I would think you would want keep Rowan alive. Adultery never goes well, which would be the other option, but hey if you want to cheat on your heroine Fereldan queen with an elven mage...more power to you I guess ^^

Should Maric marry Rowan, or should we let her and Loghain marry considering what we know of canon?
...Maric and Rowan have been engaged since their teens. This marriage is set in stone and considering how Loghain and Rowan felt about it, there is nothing to be done. In the books it is made quite clear that Rowan was in love with Maric, while he loved Katriel and Loghain loved Rowan. In my mind Loghain always came across as a rebound for Rowan , nothing more. Their reactions to Katriel´s betrayal made that clear. Rowan hoped Maric would "choose" her after he would be told about it instead of being his rebound.

I see no reason why. The more DA quests there are the better in my mind.

I think we will need to invest a few actions repairing our relationship with both Rowan and Logain so we don't get any trouble.

Edit: And properly educate our future kids so they don't think a Blight is "Glorious"

Were not voting yet
So this is not a vote.
 
I thought that a one moment they regained some of their forces during the war but at the end they were send in their ghettos.
"Loghain and the elves ran into the hills in order to intercept the chevalier charge. Peppering the knights with arrows forced them to stop and deal with the archers instead of finishing their flanking maneuver. Lightly armored elves were no match for chevaliers, however, and more than half of them were slaughtered as the Orlesians overran their position."
"The casualties were high, but both the wounded Loghain and the surviving Night Elves were saved before Arl Rendorn finally called for the retreat."
This was before Gwaren, West Hill and the second Battle of Gwaren or River Dane. Like I said I have some survivors but not enough for a company.
