Description: You can start this quest when you agree to a deal proposed by the smuggler Rogek (M49, 1). Your job will be to deliver lyrium to [The Circle tower], however there's a hatch, because you'll have to pay him up front for the goods. A standard fee is 50 silver coins, however if you attempt to persuade him you may get down to 40 silver coins. Don't worry, because you won't get conned and you'll soon sell the lyrium with a very decent profit (you could do that even right here in Orzammar, but I would recommend waiting).
Leave Orzammar when you're ready to start this mission and travel to [The Circle tower - Mage quarters]. Here you'll have to locate mage Godwin (M33, 12) and you can agree to his initial offer or you can use persuasion to ask for more. Once you've made the exchange you can find out what he needed the lyrium for (persuasion, intimidation) and then you can blackmail him that you'll tell the truth to the others. Once you've finalized the transaction return to Rogek (M49, 1) to receive an additional reward.
