I doubt she is dead either(Anora and not "Annora") nothing in the keep for her fate after years of updates.

Re The Cousland Warden not being king and not having any power.
Not King: Check Not having power: Not so fast.
He may not be king, but he is Warden Commander of Ferelden, Commanding General of Ferelden's armies, and Chancellor. The Circle, the Dwarven Kingdom, the Daelish, the Elves of the Alienage, the people of Denerim, and Arl Eamon, all owe far more to the Warden than they do the Queen (recall that Eamon encouraged Cailen to divorce Anora).
Anora may wear the crown, but it is the hero of Ferelden who will rule.

Since I don't care about Morrigan or Leiliena that much, I decided to marry Anora in this run. But the ending epilogue didn't even make ANY mention of this whatsoever. I got the one where she had many suitors after her and she rebuffed all of them. And my Warden got a generic "his journey is still not over" at the end. Is this a glitch? Or is this the proper scene if you marry Anora?
If so, the fact that it is barely mentioned by anyone in the end and not even in the epilogue is a total waste. Also, in Awakening I think you only meet Anora once and she only mentions the marriage briefly. It seems pointless to do this option as far as I can see. Is there any worthwhile content in Awakening if you marry her? Like in the epilogue in that expansion?
Well... a quick addendum. I went into Awakening. I looked in the codex and the game said I deposed Anora and Alistair was king. Um what? It completely ignored my choice and Alistair is the king. Anora doesn't appear in the cutscene at all. Also, hate it that Ogrhen is acting best buds with me since I asked him to leave because he hated me in Origins. And why can't Mhiri survive if Anders and Ogrhen are gone? All in all, marrying Anora was a very bad idea for me.

Most of that is such a major bug, and such a major departure from my own experience, that I think GoldenGail must be right that you forgot to actually import. Except the Oghren bit. That I think you just have to deal with.

I've never had a male human noble so it hasn't been an option for me.
During my first couple of runs I'd have said no, Anora's behaviour with Cauthrien is inexcusable. However after seeing the documents at Ostagar, reading The Stolen Throne and then recruiting Loghain and hearing his banter....well I've softened a little towards her.
All those tidbits rounded her out and she's more likable now, so I'd consider it as a Warden who wanted power, or more likely a Warden who wanted to create a stable monarchy ruled by two noble houses.

We should have been able to have the option to have Alistair become King, while a Male Cousland marries Anora. By having Alistair as King, the traditionalists get to keep a Theirin on the throne, rather than cede it to a "commoner".
By marrying Anora, a male Cousland is better able to legitimise their claim as the new Teyrn of Gwaren (since they married the former Teyrn's daughter), thus ensuring the happiness and loyalty of the people.
And by marrying Cousland, Anora not only avoids execution, but remains out of jail, retains her family's lands, as well as continues to have one of the highest positions in Fereldan society (even if being a Teyrna is a step down from being Queen). Seriously, everyone benefits from this scenario... so why wasn't it an option?

Yes, I am fairly certain I did import him. I imported the last save from the finished game.

Kind of like we couldn't put any of our other Companions through the joining if Loghain was executed, to hype up the Dark Ritual .
Plus, Anora struck me as wanting to be Queen no matter what, even preferring death to being runner up.

Because he is a bit of a woman chaser.
- Slept with that elf from the beginning of the game.
- Slept with a darkened Leliana.
- Had a 3 way with Isabela.
- Slept with all the women from the Black Pearl.
So yeah, marrying a Queen would suit him perfectly (and keeping Leliana as his second lover). 😉
Edit: He also slept with Morrigan for the DR (not because he wanted to save his life, but because he wanted to sleep with her).

It's Dragon Age Origins, meaning the Origin of all Drama. Sometime I've the insane belief that Riordan was actually trying to help Morrigan instead of doing his job

I would have liked an option where the HoF is forced to become king and forced to marry Anorra because only he can get a consensus of nobles to back him.
Based on medieval precedent: Allistair my well be the illegitimate son of King Maric, but he is still by any definition a bastard, and ineligible to inherit. As Dowager queen Annora has no claim to the throne. Eamon is viewed with too much suspicion and his only heir is bound for the circle. The Cousland Warden is a scion of a leading noble house, acclaimed hero, and will defeat the challenging claimant (Loghain) in single combat.
It's basically the way Henry VII got to be king of England.

Before Bioware destroyed my canon ending by having my warden go to the Deep Roads to find a cure, my Aedan Cousland warden married Anora for power. Cousland was a King, although Anora kept insisting he was only "Prince-Consort". Whatever Anora. Aedan has Zevran and Leliana (mistress) at his side, and Anora has an unfortunate "accident" soon after they are married. Oh yeah, Loghain is gone, as are all of Loghain's loyalists like Ser Cauthrein. Alistair, the only other potential claimant, heroically died against the Blight.
So yeah, King Aedan Cousland ends up ruling Feralden with Leliana as his mistress, bard, and soon to be Queen. Zevran is his bodyguard and hitman. And he even has a very loyal Mabari War Hound. Anora never stood a chance, and Aedan was happy to wipe that smug entitled bitch from the face of Thedas.
But alas Bioware messed it all up.
