Wayward Son

Acquisition
Hawke will either encounters an elf of Dalish heritage who is talking to an templar at the Elven Alienage, who is looking for her son, Feynriel, whom has disappeared. Or Hawke can also receive this quest from the Templar Thrask in the gallows district. It appears Hawke must complete the Long Way Home quest before this quest will activate.

Walkthrough
Feynriel is the son of an Dalish elf living in the Elven Alienage and a human merchant. He also has the talent for magic, something his Dalish mother his out of fear of losing him to the circle until his nightmare could no longer be ignored as a warning signal.

Depending on whom gave the quest, Hawke will either seek out Feynriel's father if the quest giver was his mother and then be directed to a retired templar named Samson or be sent directly to Samson if Thrask gave the quest. Samson is a retired templar, who resides in Darktown and supposedly helps runaway apostates.

But Thrask could not help Feynriel since the boy could not pay for his passage and instead sent him to someone who might give him free passage. Samson will tell Hawke to go check out the Docks. Upon arrival the party is ambushed by Redwater Raiders, which are easily dispatched

Upon entering a private docking area, the party is ambushed by a group of slavers. After defeating them, Hawke walks in on a mage in mid transformation into an abomination, after dispatching the enemies, Hawke located a bill of sale directing the player to another group of slavers.

After defeating them in a far corner of darktown, the player will find a map in a chest directing them to the Wounded Coast, into a slavers den.

After several tough battles including mages and Qunari, Hawke will walk in on the leader of the slavers. Who is holding a sword to the throat of Feynriel. Hawk can choose to bribe the slavers and pay for Feynriels release. Alternatively he can also choose to initiate a cut-scene in which he kills the leader with a throwing knife, thereby eliminating him from the following battle making things much easier. Also, if Varric is in your group, you can choose to have him speak to the leader and convince him to release Feynriel without a fight, also gaining some reward in the process.

After the fight Hawke can opt to convince Feynriel to surrender to the circle of magi for his own good, or he can allow him to go live with the Dalish clan on the mountain, either way. Hawke is then directed to go tell Feynriel's mother of his fate.

Result
Feynriel will either go and live with the circle or with the Dalish clan depending on the player.
