Once inside, search the western the main main level, thieving and looting as you might elsewhere. Eventually, you will be at the Queen's space, which was magically sealed, pushing one to find the mage accountable and thus—most likely—the Arl himself.

You'll still loot the residual areas with impunity except for one owned by Vaughan Kendells. You can strike your cover now or conserve that area for later. In either case, difficulty is on its way. Should you enter, you will definitely interrupt a maid and a guard enjoying a romantic minute. He understands that you aren't among Howe's guards and seems the alarm.

While you arrive in the cell, one of several prisoners takes advantageous asset of the distraction of the entrance to overcome their guard. Riordan is a Grey Warden from Orlais that has a quick conversation to you before venturing out. Give him the Grey Warden documents you took from chest in the earlier room.

Your disguises will no longer work, so get ready to start out battling. In the course of time, you will discover the right path to Arl Howe, which provides almost no conversation before attacking; if playing the person Noble Origin, there will be somewhat more discussion readily available than for others origins. His corpse features Biteback Axe and his secret, allowing you to release the Queen and using a shortcut to the primary level (via the stairs only away from area with him or through the metal club gate to the right).

Before you leave (or on your way to Howe), you might also need a chance to chat with (as well as perhaps free) a few of the other prisoners. Freeing Oswyn and Irminric and speaking-to Bann Sighard and Bann Alfstanna within Gnawed Noble Tavern will give you their particular help within the Landsmeet. Freeing Rexel and sparing him will give a reward if the Missing for action quest is finished at the Chanter's Board. Freeing Soris will net

Zevran approves (+4) to Zevran approves (+7) and he can later be found in Cyrion's Home. Releasing Soris will even make Shianni significantly less dangerous into non-City Elf Warden when she's spoken to through the Unrest when you look at the Alienage pursuit. Furthermore, Soris would be furious and insulting towards a City Elf Warden just who accepted Vaughan's offer through the Origin tale.

Just take unique note of Vaughan, who are able to be persuaded to provide you with an integral to a lockbox which contains 40

in exchange for their launch. Clearly he will not be there in the event that you killed him during the City Elf Origin; however, in the event that you did not, then your ensuing discussion would be rather different and Warden also has a choice of demanding him to become listed on the Chantry to be able to repent for their sins in exchange for their freedom. Their lockbox is located in the area using the guard that appears the security as soon as the warden interrupts the guard and the maid. Vaughan can be spared in exchange for their vote on Landsmeet. With a high persuasion, you're able to persuade him to give you one of the keys before unlocking the cell home, and after that you can free him, keep, or destroy him. Note that he often just snores whenever trying to begin the discussion with him, making it impossible to start the discussion. It has been stated that this bug may be precluded by choosing the locked cellular door to begin discussion, in place of Vaughan himself.
