Plot
{{SpoilerDAR|

Outside of Dalish camp
After witnessing Josmael using magic, Cairn proceeds to capture him as his templar training taught him. Josmael states that he can be of use as his uncle taught him healing spells. Tallis stops Cairn from attacking the elf, but then throws a dagger into his chest, asking him to heal himself to prove that he can in fact heal. When he does so, Tallis invites him to join the party and tells Cairn that he has to come with them so that he can keep an eye on Josmael.

On their way to where Saarebas was heading, Josmael asks Cairn about his uncle who was imprisoned by templars. Cairn informs him that he died during Saarebas's escape, and Tallis states that it must have been Saarebas who killed him once he found out about the Mask.

Clearing
The party stops and rests, and they engage in conversation. Josamel comes to a realisation that without his uncle, the only person left alive who he loves is Fina. Tallis then quotes a Qunari proverb of unknown source: "A follower of the Qun feels not love, for nothing should tyrannize their heart." Cairn then states that he loved his family, but doesn't have a wife as Chantry forbids it. Tallis then replies that it works similarly in Qunari society; if a Qunari is to have a partner, the partner is assigned to them by the priests.

The cave
Tallis, Cairn, and Josamel manage to track the Saarebas down to a cave that is guarded by a mercenary. They sneak inside. In the cave, Saarebas is perfoming a ritual involving the Mask of Fen'Harel that requires Fina's blood. As he cuts her arm, Josmael screams, making the mage's entourage aware of the group's presence and a battle breaks out. One of the saarebas's mercenaries is killed by Cairn, Josamel casts sleep on the two rogues, and Tallis engages Nyree. Cairn then confronts the Saarebas, weaking him with his phylactery, after which the mage call upon Nyree to defend him. Nyree pushes Cairn to the ground, making him break the phylactery, restoring the Saarebas's powers. As Josamel leaves with Fione, he spots the Masks, and says to her that it is his duty to protect it, and so he does not escape. Battling the Saaarebas, Tallis throws a paralising bomb towards the mage, but he manages to redirect it towards Nyree, trapping her. In the meantime, the rogue sibling wakes up and rejoins the fight. Busy fighting the rogues, Cairn amd Tallis let the mage escape. Before leaving the cave, he knocks Josmael out with magic and orders the rogues to take Fina. Outside the cave he uses magic to cause a cave-in, trapping Tallis, Cairn, and Josmael inside with Nyree. }}

Trivia

 * Cairn only brands Josmael an apostate after he sees him using magic, but he should have known as a templar that a Keeper's First is also a mage, and Josmael is revelaed to be the First at the camp in front of him.
 * Cairn states that templars are not allowed to marry, but Aveline Vallen was married to a templar named Ser Wesley Vallen.
 * The knife that Saarebas uses to cut Fina's arm was based on an unused Dragon Age II resource for a "Sharkbone Blade."
