Mages and social mores
While I understand the desire not to impose moral judgments on wiki subjects, we are talking about in-setting beliefs. The average Fereldan considers themselves normal and mages abnormal. 'Typical social norms' is redundant and clunky, so I changed it to social mores. --- Maria Caliban 07:05, October 31, 2009 (UTC)
Elves and Humans?
Could an elf of any gender pursue relations with a human? Say an Elvish male with Morrigan? Or a female with Alistair? LJ Carrion 16:09, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
Alistair and Morrigan are indeed the more 'enlightend' breed, you can pursue relationships with them? Check Romance if you like. Gorvar 18:35, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
Chantry sisters not required to be celibate?
I recall that during the Mage Origin, someone (Irving?) will say that Lily has broken her Chantry vows by getting involved with Jowan. Also, a walking conversation between Zevran and Leliana indicates that Chantry sisters in Antiva at least are required to be celibate. Gemion 01:56, December 16, 2009 (UTC)
Indeed, Leliana's comment about the Chantry sisters' "forbidden fruit" would make no sense if they are not required to be celibate. I highly doubt being unable to marry would make them more appealing to Leliana. It's not like two women can even get married in Dragon Age as far as we know. Xshu 01:38, February 11, 2010 (UTC)
Hawt Dwarf and Elf Interracial
Humans and elves always produce human offspring, and humans and dwarves can sometimes produce half-dwarf offspring, but what about dwarves and elves? Since elves supposedly have a genetic adaptability, it could be possible that they produce dwarf offspring. Or maybe they can't produce offspring at all? Or maybe they somehow produce a dwarf-elf hybrid! :D Is there anything official that talks about this? Flare13 (talk) 23:14, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
Dwarves apparently have very low fertility rates anyway. The half-dwarf occurence is likely based on humans being apparently compatible with everything, and having strong genes, at least when compared with elves. It's likely, due to dwarves having difficulty reproducing even with their own kind, and elves having a great deal of genetic adaptability, they wouldn't produce offspring at all.
