## Alistair

Main article: Codex entry: Alistair
*See also: Character: Alistair*

*"You know, one good thing about the Blight is how it brings people together."*

Alistair was a novice templar when Duncan recruited him into the Grey Wardens—or rescued him, as Alistair would say.

**This section contains spoilers for:
*Dragon Age: Origins*.**

*While heading to Lothering:* His mother was a serving girl, who died when Alistair was very young. He was raised by Eamon Guerrin, arl of Redcliffe, for a time.

*After Alistair discusses his background:* The arl's wife, Isolde, suspected the reason her husband took an interest in the welfare of a servant's child was that Alistair was Eamon's son. She insisted that the boy be sent away to the Chantry.

*After Alistair reveals his parentage (upon first arrival to Redcliffe if he is in the party):* Isolde's suspicions were unfounded, however. Alistair was not Eamon's son, but King Maric's. Eamon sheltered the boy to hide his existence from Queen Rowan, Eamon's sister.

*If Alistair's approval reaches 25...*
Alistair is fascinated by magic, even as his life is defined by fighting its darker manifestations. He has a fondness for strange runestones and figural studies of arcane creatures.

*If Alistair is made King...*
With a great deal of assistance, Alistair was recognized by the Landsmeet as Maric's son and granted his father's throne.

*If Loghain is saved and Alistair is not made king...*
Unable to accept the decision to spare Loghain's life, Alistair left—and has not been seen since.

*If Anora is made queen and Alistair is executed...*
To prevent further civil war, he was executed at the Landsmeet on the orders of Queen Anora, ending the Theirin line.

*If Alistair kills the archdemon...*
In the battle against the archdemon in Denerim, Alistair gave his life to save his friends and end the Blight.

*The Darkspawn Chronicles...*
Alistair was the long-secret son of the late King Maric Theirin, and the half-brother of King Cailan, who perished on the field at Ostagar. Shortly after Cailan's death, Arl Eamon Guerrin revealed Alistair's parentage at a Landsmeet. To placate the nobles and rescue Ferelden from the brink of civil war, Alistair became engaged to marry his brother's widow, Queen Anora. However, Alistair was also the last of Ferelden's Grey Wardens, and so before he could take the throne as king of Ferelden, he and his allies set out to defeat the archdemon.

## Anora

Main article: Codex entry: Anora
*See also: Character: Anora*

*"We have been given the gift of freedom by our forbearers. Let us not squander it."*

The only child of the war hero Loghain Mac Tir, Anora has never been one to stay quietly in the background. It is common knowledge that in the five years Anora and Cailan held the throne together, she was the one wielding the power. She is held in much higher esteem than her husband by the people of Ferelden, nobility and commoners alike, and commands the respect even of foreign nations, having once inspired Empress Celene of Orlais to declare, "Anora of Ferelden is a solitary rose among brambles."

*Dragon Age: Origins*.**

*After completing the quest Rescue the Queen:* She sent her maid, Erlina, to Arl Eamon's estate to ask for The Warden's help in escaping from Arl Howe, but as they fled Howe's estate, Anora in disguise, they were ambushed by Ser Cauthrien, there to arrest Howe's murderer.

*If the Warden tells Cauthrien they were trying to rescue Anora...*
When the Warden tried to protest the charge on the grounds of defending Anora, the queen declared that she was being kidnapped and called to Cauthrien for help.

*If the Warden surrenders to Cauthrien...*
The Warden surrendered to permit Anora's escape.

*If the Warden fights Cauthrien...*
A fight ensued, and Anora fled in the confusion.

*Once the Warden returns to Arl Eamon's estate:* She made her way to Eamon's Denerim estate and there offered her aid in defeating her father at the Landsmeet.

*If Anora betrays the Warden at the Landsmeet...*
However, when the hour came, she publicly supported her father, decrying the Wardens as slanderers and regicides.

*If Anora supports the Warden at the Landsmeet...*
With her help, Loghain's support was eroded.

*If Anora's support is not enough to sway the Landsmeet...*
Her efforts, however, were not enough to erode Loghain's support.

*If the Warden wins the support of the Landsmeet...*
The banns fell in line behind Eamon and The Warden. Loghain, however, would not accept defeat easily. He filled the room with troops and attempted a coup. Fighting erupted, breaking the long tradition of the Landsmeet, which was ultimately settled with a duel.

*If the Warden fails to win the support of the Landsmeet...*
The banns fell in line behind Loghain, and he called for the Wardens' execution. Fighting erupted, breaking the long tradition of the Landsmeet, which was ultimately settled with a duel.

*If Alistair becomes sole monarch...*
In the end, Anora was deposed, and Alistair was given the throne.

*If Anora becomes sole monarch and Alistair remains a Grey Warden...*
In the end, Anora was granted the throne, freeing Alistair from the burden of a responsibility he never wanted anyway.

*If Alistair is to be executed...*
In the end, Anora was granted the throne and Alistair was taken away to be executed.

*If both Loghain and Alistair live...*
In the end, Anora was granted the throne, and Alistair walked out of the Landsmeet Chamber never to be seen again.

*If Anora is to rule with the Warden and Alistair is to be executed...*
In the end, Anora kept her throne, with the Warden now her king-consort, and Alistair was taken away to be executed.

*If Alistair stays (and Loghain dies)...*
In the end, Anora kept her throne, with the Warden now her king-consort.

*If Anora is to rule with Alistair and if the Warden kills Loghain...*
In the end, Anora and Alistair agreed to marry and rule jointly, though Alistair postponed taking the throne until the Blight was ended.

*If Anora is to rule with Alistair and Loghain lives...*
In the end, Anora and Alistair agreed to marry and rule jointly, with Alistair giving up his place among the Grey Wardens to take the throne.

## Bhelen Aeducan

Main article: Codex entry: Bhelen Aeducan
*See also: Character: Bhelen Aeducan*

*"This is a time for action, not cultured debate."*

Third of King Endrin's children, Bhelen has always been considered the last and least of his family. Not the heir, nor the favorite, and not as accomplished as either sibling, Bhelen's most notable trait was his ability to stay out of trouble.

*If the Warden is a dwarf noble...*
*"Time is something you may not have much left of."*

Third of King Endrin's children, Bhelen has always been considered the last and least of his family. Trian was the undisputed heir apparent from the moment of his birth, and <FirstName/> was not only the most accomplished, but also their father's clear favorite. Bhelen's most notable trait was his ability to stay out of trouble.

**This section contains spoilers for:
*Dragon Age: Origins*.**

*If the dwarf noble killed Trian...*
He tricked <FirstName/> into slaying their brother Trian, eliminating both his rivals for the throne in one stroke.

*If the dwarf noble was framed...*
He murdered Trian and framed <FirstName/>, eliminating both his rivals in one stroke.

*If Bhelen is made king...*
His efforts paid off: He was named king of Orzammar by the Assembly.

*If Harrowmont is made king...*
His efforts were for nothing, though. The Assembly named Pyral Harrowmont king of Orzammar, and the coup he tried to stage in revenge was cut down almost before it began.
