Moraides did not marry the Feathered Horse Queen. He did marry the Feathered Queen of the Kerofini Temple in an effort to become King of Dragon Pass. These are two seperate Queens. (Sartarites believe you have to marry the FHQ to become the King, Tarshites believe you have to marry the Feathered Queen to do so. Both are wrong IMO). It is the Feather Queen who is the mother of Pharandros and Estal Donge.

Trying to identify the Feathered Queen of the Kerofini Temple as the Feathered Horse Queen under another name makes a hash of the chronological integrity of the FHQ document in KoS which should indicate that the identification should be discarded IMO.
