Questioning Beliefs (Merrill)

The quest giver: Merrill [Lowtown - Merrill's House]

Step 1: Talk to Merrill

This quest appears automatically in your journal, after you collect enough friendship points or rivalry points with Merrill. An easiest way to modify your relations is to take Merrill with you when completing quests. If you want to gain more friendship points then share her opinions and if you want to gain rivalry points then make decisions which she doesn't like or which even make her angry. Once you have this quest in your journal, go to the [Lowtown - Merrill's House] location and click on Merrill. A conversation may evolve in several ways. If you gave her an artifact during a companion quest Mirror Image, then a conversation will be peaceful and you'll talk about Pol. You can also flirt with her #1. But if you kept an artifact for yourself, then you won't be able to flirt with her despite the available proper option #2. What's more she can even throw you out her house and you'll gain 10, 20 or 25 rivalry points with her.

The Shield of the Knight Herself

The quest giver: Automatically after finding The Shield of the Knight Herself [Ser Varnell's Refuge]

You'll have a chance to find this shield after completing the main quest Profit and Loss, so after a conversation with Viscount Dumar about dead qunari (M70, 2). Before you leave the [Ser Varnell's Refuge] location, use the stairs and examine a large box #1 (M70, 3) taking The Shield of the Knight Herself. Now you can travel to the [Hightown - Viscount's Keep] location during the day. After reaching the destination click on Aveline #2 (M9, 2) to start a conversation with her.

What's interesting she won't be very happy because of a gift #1, because she already lost a memorial Ser Wesley's shield. Regardless of the dialog options you choose, Aveline will accept a gift and the shield will appear in her equipment (it is worth to keep it there because it has excellent stats) #2.

The Captain's Condolences

The quest giver: automatically after completing the quest All That Remains [Hightown - Hawke Estate]

Step 1: Talk to Aveline

You'll receive this quest automatically after completing the main quest All That Remains. Travel to the [Hightown - Viscount's Keep] location during the day. Go to the Aveline's office and click on her to start a conversation #1. During it Aveline will try to cheer you up telling you about her father and you can listen to it #2 or end the conversation. What's interesting, you do not have to worry about Aveline's negative reaction even if you blame her for your mother's death and challenge her to a duel.
