Shepherding Wolves

Shepherding Wolves is one of the main required quests during Act I of Dragon Age II. Sister Petrice asks Hawke to lead a chained and collared Qunari out of Kirkwall to freedom. The Qunari, whom Petrice has dubbed Ketojan, can only make gurgling sounds. Ketojan is actually a Saarebas (Qunari mage).

Finding the Hideout
Rumor has it that someone from the Chantry is offering good money for a mission. Go to Lowtown at night to find out more. Sister Petrice's safe-house can be hideout can be found in the northwest region of Lowtown. Go inside and speak to Sister Petrice for the quest.

Tunnels
Hawke must lead Ketojan out of the city via an underground passage. There are a few traps in the tunnels and the party will have to face spiders as well as a band of thugs.

Qunari
Hawke finds an encampment of other Qunari, who call Ketojan Saarebas, meaning "dangerous thing". The Qunari proclaim that since Ketojan has spent some time without his handler, he may have been corrupted by demons and thus cannot be allowed to live.

At this point, Hawke can hand Ketojan over or try to argue as to why he should be freed. If Hawke hands Ketojan over, the Qunari will leave without incident. If Hawke refuses or reveals that any party member is a mage, the Qunari will attack.

If Hawke defeats the Qunari, Saarebas will be unbound and is then able to speak and choose his own path. In accordance with the teachings of the Qun, he chooses death for himself and immolates himself with fire magic.

Lowtown
Return to Lowtown and talk to Sister Petrice again to collect payment and complete the quest.

Reward
, 7 Talisman of Saarebas - Given by Saarebas right before he kills himself.
