Sarel is a Dalish elf sitting at the campfire near Zathrian's aravel in the Dalish Camp. Sarel is suspicious of any Warden who is not a Dalish Elf, he will then tell them a tale of humankind's mistreatment of the Dalish. If the Warden is Dalish he will instead ask the if the Warden was recruited to ensure that the Dalish would live up to the treaty. Regardless of what the Warden replies he will be angered by it. It is then revealed that his anger and suspicions towards outsiders is caused by the recent loss of his wife to the werewolf's curse. Beyond that, Sarel tells tales about the Dalish, the Werewolves, and spirits in the forest. Listening to his tales will unlock the Codex Entry: The Dales.

He is an instrumental character in the companion side quest "Wynne's Regret." He and his fellow Dalish at the campfire can tell the Warden about Wynne's former apprentice Aneirin, a city elf who escaped the Circle Tower, the Templars declared a maleficarum and ostensibly killed. Nonetheless, Anerein managed to reach the Dalish and can be found in the Brecilian Forest. If you find Anerein before talking to Sarel at the Dalish Camp.
