Wayward Son

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

This rumor will be added to your journal after completing the main quest A Business Discussion, thus after conversation with Varric in At The Hanged Man inn #1 (M15, 2). You can start this quest only when new entries about this rumor appear in the journal and this will happen probably after completing the quest Long Way Home. Go then to the [Lowtown - Elven alienage] location. Find there elven mother Arianni (M12, 10), whose son is sought after by templars #2. During a conversation you can ask her many additional questions about Feynriel. Arianna will send you to Thrask and Vincent, but next steps will be taken along with the new main quest.

Blackpowder Promise

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

This rumor will be added to your journal after completing the main quest A Business Discussion, thus after conversation with Varric in At The Hanged Man inn #1 (M15, 2). You can start this quest only when new entries about this rumor appear in the journal and this will happen probably after completing the quest Long Way Home. The idea of this quest is to find merchant named Javaris, who is looking for helpers. Take a look at the world map and choose The Soundermount #2 or The Wounded Cost. What's interesting, you won't reach the destination. Instead, you'll stop in a completely new location, marked as [Dead Man's Pass] (M27, 1).

Go ahead. When you reach the fork, choose the right path. Start killing the giant spiders #1, who are fighting Javaris and his bodyguards (M27, 2). Do not count on easy win because the spiders quickly will focus their attacks on your party. After winning the battle a cut-scene will start automatically and you'll talk with Javaris #2. It appears that the dwarf needs someone to attack a group of bandits Tal Vashoth, who possess gunpowder. You can complete this quest in three ways:

• agree to eliminate bandits for an appropriate payment (upper right dialog option)
• do not show great interest in his problem (middle right dialog option): you won't give up completing this quest but on the other hand you won't clearly undertake to eliminate bandit
• say that you only want to eliminate bandits (bottom right dialog option)

Whatever option you choose, this quest will be completed and there will be a new main quest in your journal. Note! Do not leave this location immediately but first take a look around searching for a document "Caste Treatise and House Accounting" (M27, 3). This will launch a new side quest.

You can start this quest only when new entries about this rumor appear in the journal and this will happen probably after completing the main quest Blackpowder Promise. Go then to the [Lowtown] location during the night. Explore the area south of the At The Hanged Man inn and you should find Sister Petrice #2 (M13, 11).
