Ferelden nobility comes from the warlords of the Alamarri tribes, that's what the titles bann and arl are based on.
If they care for bloodlines than this probably something that they adopted from the neighbouring country Orlais, where bloodlines matter a great deal.
You could indeed say that concluding the Landsmeet with duel with winner having a say in who's going to lead from now on is a much older tradition than bloodlines. :D
Makes sense to me. Ferelden is one bad day away from barbarism. ;-)
Who you put on the throne depends entirely if you are willing to believe the claims that Anora is an adept ruler. I am willing but there is very little evidence for this in the game, especially with Anora wringing her hands and acting like a helpless daughter, intimidated by Daddy's presence.
I put her on the throne but I don't expect that to be free from troubles. I'm very fond of the hints in Witch Hunt about Redcliffe becoming a potential antagonist to Denerim. Very interesting.
