Dragon Age: Dark Fortress (Comic)

Any heirs that Danarius had were likely as evil as he was, so I’ll shed no tears for their deaths.

Show of hands: who thinks Nenealeus forcing Danarius’ bastard out of the fortress is a trap?

That old viper seems too clever to let someone who might have vital information about the fortress he is using just walk away.

My initial thoughts.

Don't think chucking out the Danarius heir was a trap as such. However, Nenealeus may have done it to alert them to Fenris being in the area, naturally assuming that Fenris would kill him and so they would get to hear about it. Thus Vaea stopping him being killed will keep their arrival secret. We shall see.

Also did anyone pick up on the fact that the heir was described as a "half blood". Does that mean elf bloodied? Is it possible that he is going to turn out to be related to Fenris in some way, not an immediate sibling necessarily but a cousin or something? Mind you I suppose it is possible that Danarius had his wicked way with Fenris' mother before he was born (or even after but Fenris doesn't remember it) and then the offspring sent somewhere else.

In the previous series the scene where Leto earns the right to be transformed and earn the boon which frees his mother and sister is described as "decades ago". That means at least two decades. That would take us back to 9:25 when I would imagine that Leto was at least late teens or early twenties in order to be considered robust enough for the process. Since Varania is likely fairly close to him in age (as they are said to have played together), that would mean she should already have shown magical ability and be of an age that she could bear children.

Fenris can remember little about his past but it is possible he was so determined to free his mother and sister because he knew Danarius was taking too great an interest in Varania. Since Danarius seems to like his experiments to improve his power and prestige and the Vints are fascinated by magical bloodlines, could Tractus actually be the offspring of Danarius and Varania?

It would be an interesting twist if that were so.
