Birthright

Birthright is a companion quest in Dragon Age II. During this quest you'll be searching for your Grandfathers will, which could prove that the Amell estate belongs to your family.

Acquisition


In Act 1, stop in at Gamlen's house to hear Leandra and Gamlen argue about money and about Grandfather Amell's will. Gamlen will say that nothing was left for Leandra. He will also say that the will is still in the Amell estate vault, which is no longer accessible since slavers now own the estate. After this conversation, speak to Carver or Bethany and discuss how to break into the vault in order to initiate the quest

Walkthrough
The underground passage into Amell estate cellar can be found outside of Anders's Clinic in northern part of Darktown. Once inside the passage, expect some resistance from various slaver guards. Loot of various sorts can be found in the side rooms. In the storeroom you can find a gift for Hawke's sibling (for the quest Portrait of the Past or Family History) and a codex entry, Codex entry: The Amell Family.



In the side room just before the Anteroom you can find more loot and another codex entry, Codex entry: History of Kirkwall: Chapter 2.

In the final room before the vault, the party will face a slaver mage as well as various other enemies. Disable the traps in the room with a rogue to make the fight easier. The key to the vault can be found on the mage's body.

Enter the vault to pick up various loot as well as Grandfather Amell's will. The chest containing the will also holds an armor upgrade for Carver/Bethany.



, magic resistance +10% for Bethany , armor +10% for Carver

Another code entry can also be obtained, Codex entry: History of the Circle.

At this point, Carver or Bethany will ask to take the will back to Leandra immediately. Agreeing with the sibling will transport the party back to Gamlen's house.

Results
Leandra will be pleased to find out that her parents did not die angry, and will try to petition with the Viscount to get the estate back.
