lootables here - supplies and books that add Codex entries. Do not ignore the books because each Codex entry you
add also nets you 50 XP!
Once you have looted all kit and books, head into the last room for your meeting and a CS that gives you some more
of the Magi backstory. The Templar there has a serious attitude, yes? But it is Irvine you came to see, not that
tin-suit. And who do you see standing there with Irvine? Why Duncan of the Grey Wardens of course!
- Meeting Duncan
After you get the congratulations speech from Irvine - and your new Mage Robes and Staff - he asks you to escort
Duncan back to the guest quarters. Now is a good time - once you are in the hall - to have a chat with this Grey
Warden. If you ask about the darkspawn and then about the Grey Wardens you will add a Codex entry on the
Darkspawn as a result.
As you move through the tower, there are a few more books to pick up, and some additional Codex entries to be had
through conversation. Stop and chat with Senior Enchanter Torrin to learn about the Magi Fraternities, and be sure
to check out the empty bookshelf that is missing its books - that could be an interesting gap...
Once you get Duncan back to his room, you get yet another Codex entry for your troubles, and now it the time to
have another chat with him, learn something about the outside, and this is also your chance to mention to Duncan
that you believe that you could be of aid to the army too.
As you exit the chamber, Jowan is waiting for you - and he wants to talk.
- A Private Chat with Jowan
Once you are in a secluded spot, Jowan introduces you to Lilly - an initiate - and you learn he is carrying on a
proscribed relationship with her! And what is more, Jowan is convinced that the Circle intends to make him a
Tranquil - and they want your help.
Here is where you have to make a decision - I chose to help them.
So the plan is to get Jowan's blood tag and destroy it - but to do that you have to get into the chamber where they are
stored. You need a Fire Rod from the supply room - so that is the first step.
Outside the storerooms you find Senior Enchanter Leorah, who as it turns out is the person in charge of the Circle's
stores. She is acting rather suspiciously - so go ahead and have a chat with her - and be circumspect about her
answers. Accusations will not go far wrong here, and eventually she should clue you in on her true problem - one
you can help her with that will also get you access to the stores, which is what you want anyway!
- Spiders in the Storerooms
If it is not spiders it is giant rats - but that is how it goes when you are learning to fight or use magic, right? The
caverns are basically a large loop - and your task is to run through that loop, killing the giant spiders you encounter
there, and of course looting whatever there is to be looted!
Once you have finished that - you will get the quest updated notice - go ahead and return to Leorah and let her
know that you have taken care of the spiders. With that done, go ahead and see Owain at the stockroom in the
center of the tower - and request the rod. He will not give it to you unless you get the request form counter-signed
by a Senior Enchanter - and now you know why we stopped to kill a bunch of spiders, don't you?
So a quick trip back to Leorah to get the form signed, and then right back to Owain, where you turn in the form and
get your Rod of Fire! Some more running I am afraid as we head back to tell Jowan and Lily that you have what you
need.
