I agree, why a noble dwarf character can't be king ( or queen)? Just have to say: Regardless of who you side with... 1) Harrowmont is a traditionalist as is the council (more or less) and you were exiled (albeit under false charges) and you have been removed from all the history books for your supposed deeds so in their eyes you have no claim to the throne (especially considering how easy it was for them to condemn you to the deep roads without trial) 2) Bhelen killed your older brother AND set you up, he sure as hell isn't going to back up your claim to the throne... Would be cool to have you be able to claim throne would be awesome though. The king DOES go to fight darkspawn with his armies, you being a Grey Warden would only help in the long run... not to mention it's so obvious the "Ancestors" favor you for all the times you survive the unsurvivable, and of course the times you kick butt in the Proving...
