Could Aisling Duval not be who we think she is? (A fringe logic discovery from lore)

As the illegitimate child of the Emperor. Therefore the pregnancy wasn't treated the way it would have been if it was a legitimate pregnancy.

Same with the Arisa (the current Emperor).

No logic problems, no need for mental gymnastics about gene-manipulation or sex or anything else. Just two woman who should, according to imperial tradition, never become Emperor - because they where woman and had no real claim for the throne.
But there was no heir and therefore the powerful people in the Empire selected one they thought would be easy to manipulate.

That's the problem of the Empire - their last Emperor was weak and declared his only heir as unsuitable for the throne. By doing this he broke the family line, he broke imperial tradition and he didn't even try to get a suitable heir.

Yup I agree, Aisling is the child of a dalliance and Ecy G seems to fit the bill as her Mother,, and Emperor Arissa the product of Adultery.

I am still not convinced that Arissa and her mother didn't kill Hengist, as he was having an affair with the Lady Lavigny but had her Husband and sons killed for treason (well her Husband died in an "accident" and her sons challenged that saying it was an assassination, and were killed as this was treason"

If the sons were his from the affair he is a kin slayer, and even if they were not, surely there would be some upset for Lady Lavigny, that might have festered and revenge just took 50 odd years.

Both Imperial Princesses are illegitimate, sadly, so the His Imperial Highness Crown Prince Harald was the last hope to keep the Duval line, as HIH Harald could have produced a legitimate Duval Heir.

I suspect the Emperors Grace was going to install HIH Harald as a Puppet emperor, has they succeeded.

Shame as I support Harald as the one true Emperor, but was not going to support radial reactionaries like the Emperors Dawn to the ends.
 
Well Harry is still alive, so the Duval bloodline isn't completely dried up. Emperor's Dawn or some other traditionalists could probably clone a new Duval, from his DNA. Unless the baldness treatment messed it up completely, that is. :D

That was a Classic story.

I miss the over the top Imperials from the Old lore.

With all the cloning & gene manipulation, the Clone Imperial Guard rivalry with the Imperial Naval Infantry

The "Protectorate" Fleets carving out personal empires, though Patreus took up this torch

Such Progressive Libertarians , yet so regressive with slavery and the no females allowed in the Palace rule
 
Okay I need to head this comment and comments like this early enough.

All media (including games) is political.

This is required watching before participating in this thread:

I'll add this to the OP.

And it would be polticial, everything done in media is political but that doesn't mean there aren't political reasons. It seems like the natural evolution of the lore that was written with regards to gene-modding.

Also, Hamilton had people of colour playing all sorts of historical folks. Didn't bother us none. :p

There's always one of these people.

"gradually phased out"...

Duval children can be female again. Does she fit in the timeline though...?

What basically happened was a lot of lore enthusists (including me) kept pointing the whole no females can rule thing/be born to a duval/general issues with females vying for the thrown things (particularly as it was confirmed by current lore, not just old FFE/FE2 stuff) and asked for clarification for months.

This was slyly slipped into a galnet article.a few months later as an answer.

Ah~~~~ that's interesting. I kinda wish they went with it.
 
I may be out of the loop. Who is Ecy G?

THE OTHER KING 2.
J.F.

You read it here first! His Imperial Highness Prince Harald has been tracked down to exclusive gambling tables on the Party Planet and a certain RIG lovely's got her hands on his chips! Our Eccy is dolled out in a genuine Riedquatian mousemat cloak and she's wearing gems traded recently at Scrillions of credits per gram! Eccy, (44, 24, 36, D,C,D) looks like the cat that's found the milkbottle. We quizzed Eccy about the champagne as she changed for her show at the Starclub - we can tell you it was a sight for sore eyes! "If you want high performance you use high performance fuel" she laughed attractively.

Vroom vrooooom Eccy!! We'll check out your high performance chassis anyday!!

HEARTBREAK!
J.F.

It was too good to last. The romance is over, the Prince has kissed his lovely goodbye and is getting packed to go home. We interviewed Eccy in the Starclub Lounge. She appealed to her fans all over the galaxy.

"I was a foolish young girl" she sobbed. "He's thrown me over, all because I wanted to go to the Hotblack gig. He wanted to go gambling again to win back the lousy O'Hanlon's Claim. Duval's Claim it should be. He Claimed he wanted me and then he dumped me. I mean a gentleman wouldn't have done that would he?"

Well, what about it Harry? Doesn't it mean anything that you've broken a young girl's hearts?

We think you're a Right Royal cad and we invite our readers to mail us TODAY and tell us what they think of the way you've treated our Eccy.

LOVEBIRDS AGAIN!
J.F.

It was tense. The croupier was sweating. The crowd was fifteen deep. The Prince looked up as he laid all his chips on a single number. The boule rattled. His eyes met hers. Your reporter heard his whisper in the dead quiet hall.

"I put it on the treble zero in memory of our love."

The wheel slowed. Yes!!!! It was treble zero!!

The croupier handed back the title deed to O'Hanlon's Claim. We were silent as the Prince walked across and... he gave it to our Eccy!!!!!!!!!!

Well, your reporter is a pretty hard case but even I had to go to the bar and drink a toast to the happy couple with a slight touch of moisture in my leathery old eye.

HIDEAWAY.
J.F.

Somewhere out there, somewhere where readers of your hyperwave wonder are seeing them everyday there are two love birds who've given the whole galaxy of reporters the slip. Prince Harry and the lovely stunner Eccy G. were last seen heading out from the Party Planet, ducking into hyper space and gate hopping so fast they left behind even the fastest ships hired by our reporters. Where have they gone?

We are offering PRIZES to the first who tells us where they are. You can win a fabulous holiday on the Party Planet with the partner of your choice, all expenses paid AND a visit to the romantic planet O'Hanlan's Claim in the delightful, out of the way system of Essaa, the only planet in the galaxy to change hands three times in one day, from Empire to casino, from casino to Prince and from Prince to showgirl.

So might be the mother of Aisling that died of an overdose

Don't see a thing in that image that supports any of the theories postulated in the OP. Unless you can come up with distinct timelines that show when the genetic meddling stopped, and when she was conceived, it's all just random conjecture.
 
I was traipsing through Achenar (like you do) looking at tourist beacons (did the Achenar challenge btw!) And I found this and it made me realise something profound.

If this is true:

How was Aisling Duval born?
I have several ideas


  • Is not related to the Duval bloodline
  • was Gene modded before conception to be born female by her father (which might be why he was declared unfit to be king)
  • A man dressing as a woman (Kahina Loren, Salome mentioned a wig...note: not all crossdressers wear wigs)
  • she is a our first transgender power. (That would... kinda be amazing... and makes sense with gene-modding that prevents females failing with unexpected results)

Now there unfortunately is one caveat

"This restriction was gradally phased out over the years."



That was a long time ago during the first few Emperors of the Empire. Space Khaleesi wasn't born then (she's 25 atm). She's the daughter of Harold Duval.
