Hey, remember how at the end of Act 1 Hawke & Co. were betrayed by Bartrand for the sake of a weird artifact? Well, Bartrand is back in Hightown and Varric would like to have a word with him. The squad heads over to his derelict estate and nothing is adding up. There are fresh corpses and crazed guards ready to carve us up and at the end of it all is Bartrand, hearing voices and seeing things all because of the idol that drove a wedge between him and Varric. Bartrand has done some awful thin...

The mirror is incomplete and she needs a relic from her people to finish it–a relic that she must ask the keeper for. Afraid of her mother figure, Merril as...
