Talk:Hafter

Hafter and Dane discrepancy
There seems to be some kind of a retcon or lore discrepancy going on. I mentioned it 3 years ago on Dane's talk page, but no-one answered. Codex entry: Werewolf states that "The actual hero Dane led a crusade to eliminate the werewolf threat during the early Black Age", and Codex entry: Dane and the Werewolf comes from the Black Age as well. To refresh your memory, Hafter is the Hero of the Second Blight, which ended in 1:95 Divine, some three hundred years earlier. Unless this is a classic case of an egg laying a chicken and not the other way 'round, Hafter can't be Dane's son. Or can he?


 * Codex entry: How to Act Fereldan says "As you may already know, the Fereldans venerate the folk heroes Dane and Hafter. Dane was said to have been a werewolf, and Hafter to have descended from one." The codex entry does not specify whether they are related, nor does it say they lived in the same period of time. ✅
 * Codex entry: Yusaris: The Dragonslayer says "The sword that Dane found in the dragon's treasure hoard, which he used to slay both Fenshal and the werewolf, was passed on to his son Hafter. Dane may have been fiction, but Hafter was fact. In 1:40 Divine, he led the Alamarri tribes against darkspawn". It specifically calls Dane the father of Hafter. ✅
 * Codex entry: Dogs in Ferelden says "Hafter, the first man to be named teyrn, the hero who united our Alamarri ancestors to drive back the darkspawn of the second Blight, was reputed to be the son of a werewolf. Now, perhaps this was meant to be some comment on his temperament, or simply a way of making a great man even larger than life." It says his father was a werewolf, but again says it might be part of a legend. ✅
 * Codex entry: Werewolf says "The actual hero Dane led a crusade to eliminate the werewolf threat during the early Black Age". ✅

I don't have my World of Thedases handy, so can anyone provide direct quotes that clearly state Dane existed (and is not just a legend), lived in the Divine Age and fathered Hafter?  henioo    (da talk page)  06:23, April 17, 2016 (UTC)
