The Scrolls of Banastor



The Scrolls of Banastor is a side quest obtainable from The Mages' Collective Quest Board.

Background
The Collective requests that an individual with a certain moral flexibility scour Ferelden for five ancient and powerful Scrolls of Banastor. The scrolls contain information pertaining to "dark and terrible" blood magic rituals.

Walkthrough
Depending on how soon you acquire this quest, it can go one of two ways:

The first method is to get this quest as soon as possible, because you're going to visit all of the places (as mandated by the plot) anyway. In this way, it pretty much solves itself.

The second method is to get the quest later in the game, and just revisit the places. Easier, perhaps, but annoying in that there is a decent amount of traveling involved.

Some also have reported finding the scrolls before they have activated the quest... but I haven't seen anything on how this affects completing the quest.

Scroll Locations
The location of the five scrolls are as follows: The location is marked wrong, it's to the northwest from the marker in an other room.
 * Circle Tower - Senior Mage Quarters: Ancient Texts in the southeast ruined room. In the same room as the first 3 blood mages, but on the other side.
 * Circle Tower - Great Hall: Ancient Texts In first room in the northwest large room.
 * Ruined Temple: This is the temple you visit in the “Urn of Sacred Ashes” quest. Directly south of the 'Village of Haven'. It's in the first part of the temple called the 'Ruined Temple'. It is in a library in the southeast corner of the map. There are several bookshelves with books on them so you can't miss it.
 * Ruined Temple: This is also the temple you visit in the “Urn of Sacred Ashes” quest. From the Main Hall map marker, take the west door to the Cultist Chambers area( There should be two mages in two bedrooms, near the chantry). The scroll is in the room just north-west of the Cultist Chambers map marker in a pile of books marked 'Ancient Texts'.
 * Lair of the Werewolves: In the Brecilian Ruins. In a pile of books marked 'Ancient Texts' in the south-eastern most chamber.

Result
Return the scrolls to any representative of the Mages' Collective for a reward.
