Remembered a few reasons why the GW story in DAI bothers me:
1) It forgets that if Alistair is king, he& #39;s still a Warden, would have heard the false Calling, and yet still serves as king. Wardens would have met with him to discuss and get his take on things

Like, the fact that Alistair would not be going along with it would give other Wardens pause bc if an esteemed hero and ex-Warden decided to continue acting as king rather than head for the hills to die with the rest of them, other Wardens would have a split mindset.
2) There is no reason at all that a Warden-Commander of Orlais would have the authority to recall Wardens from Ferelden and the Free Marches and potentially Nevarra.
None.
The Warden-Commanders of those regions would dictate what happens. And I doubt they& #39;d all go "Okay!"

3) Minor quibble, but Clarel& #39;s codex entry and wiki page says that Teagan doesn& #39;t trust the Wardens. Which is stupid given the Wardens saved his ass and Ferelden& #39;s.
Like sure, distrust Clarel bc she& #39;s Orlesian. That tracks with Fereldan sentiment. But bc she& #39;s a Warden? Nah

4) You get a War table mission that says "The Arl of Amaranthine wants us to investigate" (if a Templar path).
Problem is, the Arl of Amaranthine is the Warden-Commander of Ferelden. At one point the Hero of Ferelden (potentially), but otherwise the Warden in charge

No one else is the Arl of Amaranthine.
You have people that can *act* in the Arl& #39;s name, but they would have to make it clear they are acting in their name, and Josie makes it clear the request came specifically from the Arl.
Not the Seneschal.

5) I understand resources, but honestly Hawke would have had potentially two Warden contacts in some universes. Alistair/Loghain and Stroud.
The absence of Stroud thus bothers me, which is why Tobias Hawke& #39;s Warden contacts are... well, both Stroud and Loghain

Which is funny to me bc Loghain is working with an Orlesian Warden.
Imagine the banter!

Personally, this is why my hc has a Warden Civil War going on that incorporates the Architect, Avernus, and my various other Wardens alive in my & #39;Verse.
Also I like the idea better with Clarel being a female elf and ex-slave from Tevinter. Idk why. I just do.

Probably buried in my tumblr somewhere. But it does foil her with Warden-Commander Mahariel in my & #39;Verse.
To just talk a bit more about him, my Aeducan was Warden-Commander of Amaranthine during the Awakening arc, but throughout continued mentoring his fellow Warden from the Blight Anessan Mahariel to be his successor
