A Story Being Told
The quest giver: Varric [Lowtown - At The Hanged Man]
Step 1: Talk to Varric
This quest appears automatically in your journal, after you collect enough friendship points or rivalry points with Varric. An easiest way to modify your relations is to take Varric with you when completing quests. If you want to gain more friendship points then share his opinions and if you want to gain rivalry points then make decisions which he doesn't like or which even make him angry. Once you have this quest in your journal, go to the [Lowtown - At The Hanged Man] location and click on Varric #1. You'll learn that he spreads a fake story about you adventures in nearby inns. You can react in few ways #2, but it won't influence your relations with Varric. Quest will be finished when the conversation is over.
Wooden Halla
The quest giver: automatically after buying a wooden hall statue [Sundermount - Dalish Camp]
Step 1: Buy the statue
You can start this quest after you return from the Deep Roads. Go to the [Sundermount - Dalish Camp] locations. Once you there, take a look at Master Ilen's shop offer #1 (M25, 11). Select a fifth tab (Others) and buy a wooden hall statue #2, which costs a bit more than 2 sovereigns.
Step 2: Give Merrill the statue
You can close this window now and go to the [Lowtown - Merrill's House] location. Click on Merrill (M14, 8) once you get inside her house #1. During a short conversation you'll give her a statue #2, gaining 15 friendship points and ending this quest.
