Description: Similarly to The Stone Prisoner DLC, the first quest of this addon is going to be merely an introduction to the main journey and it'll only take you a few minutes to finish it. Start off by opening the main world map and choose to travel to a new location marked as [Bann Loren's lands] (it's located close to Calenhad and The Circle tower). When you get there you'll automatically trigger a cut-scene and you'll be allowed to choose between four options. Start by choosing first two actions from the list, because it won't do you any harm and you'll have a chance to find out more about an unarmed man and about the guards seen in the distance. As for two remaining actions, you'll have to choice whether you want to engage the guards in combat or not. Sadly in both cases the unarmed man is going to be critically injured.

If you choose to fight you'll have to defeat a relatively small group of private militia which will consist of warriors and archers. Winning here shouldn't be a big problem, however you should consider advancing towards enemy positions instead of waiting for them to come to you. One of the enemies will be a mini-boss and it would be a good idea to deal with him only when the rest is already dead. Sadly the guards won't leave any valuable treasures behind.

It doesn't matter whether you'll decide to attack the guards or not, because either way you'll have to click on Elrik. There's nothing that can be done to save him so instead focus only on listening to his story. Make sure to have Alistair in your team, because he'll then make several interesting comments. Elrik will inform you about an important key to king Cailan's chest and he'll also tell you where it's now hidden. You may leave this area after the conversation. Confirm that you want to go back to [Ostagar] (newly unlocked area near the Korcari wilds and Flemeth's hut).
