Hello!! Just wanted to say again that I love your art and your OCs!! I was super curious about something concerning Bhaltair-- what is his relation and history in relation to Duncan? :0
So I decided that, in his youth, Duncan runs into Lady Trevelyan (who's visiting Ferelden at the time). She initiates an affair (simply a one night stand) and Duncan - young and stupid - goes through with it. He just chalks it up as a bad decision the next day, and so does she, but she ends up getting pregnant with Bhaltair!
She doesn't contact Duncan and tell him, and instead convinces her husband it's his baby. However, being the seventh son, Lady Trevelyan quickly realises she can kill two birds with one stone.
She publicly promises her unborn child to the chantry, (much to Lord Trevelyans confusion, but he doesn't push it) and when Bhaltair is born, he's taken away to train with the templars! He has no communication from his family, and doesn't know them besides the name he carries
