Tranquility

Tranquility is a main quest in Dragon Age II.

Acquisition
In order to find Anders's clinic, you must talk to Lirene at Lirene's Fereldan Imports in Lowtown. When you arrive at the clinic, Anders will react with suspicion and distrust. Talk to him and agree to help him rescue Karl in exchange for the maps. Further questioning will reveal that Karl is a mage in the Chantry who fears he will be made Tranquil. If you agree to help Anders, he will be waiting outside the Chantry in Hightown to rescue Karl.

Walkthrough
Meet Anders in front of the Chantry in Hightown at night. When you enter the Chantry you will find Karl, who has already been made Tranquil. Karl points out Anders as an apostate to a group of Templars, who immediately attack. Enraged by what has been done to his friend, Anders unleashes the spirit of Justice (who also occurs in Awakening). Your party will have to fight the Templars.

Once defeated, Karl is able to fleetingly shake off the effects of the Rite of Tranquility. He begs Anders to kill him rather than letting him live as one of the Tranquil.

No matter how you advise Anders, he will fulfil Karl's request.
