Fenris: The Book of Shartan

The quest giver: automatically after finding a book A Slave's Life [Lowtown - Elven alienage]

Step 1: Find the book

You can start this mission after your return from the Deep Roads. Go to the [Lowtown - Elven alienage] location during the night. If you haven't completed the quest connected with elimination of the Dog Lords yet, you have to be prepared to fight them now #1. First kill all mabari guard dogs not allowing them to knock your party members to the ground. Then explore the northern part of an elven alienage and find a sack #2 (M13, 14) with a book A Slave's Life.

Step 2: Give Fenris the book

You can now leave this area and go to the [Hightown - Fenris's Mansion] location. Head to the room where Fenris stays #1 (M18, 80) and click on him in order to give him a book. During a conversation you'll learn that the elf has never learned to read. You can now react in several ways, also by choosing a dialog option connected with flirting with him #2. Regardless of the variant you've chosen, you should earn 15 friendship points with Fenris. Quest will be finished when the conversation is over.

An Update

The quest giver: Varric [Lowtown - At The Hanged Man]

Step 1: Talk to Varric

This quest should appear in your journal after your return from the Deep Roads, but only after completing at least one of the Act II main quests (Blackpowder Courtesy or Prime suspect). After you've notices this quest in your journal, go to the [Lowtown - At The Hanged Man] location. Click on Varric #1 (M15, 2) to start a conversation and you'll learn that his brother Bartrand was seen lately in Kirkwall. As you remember he betrayed you during exploration of the Deep Roads. Regardless of your decision at the end of a conversation #2, Varric wants to get Bartrand at any cost, but this is a matter for other quest.
