Codex text

Take the first boat from Amaranthine to Kirkwall, then proceed with all haste to Weisshaupt Fortress. If the roads prove too perilous or blocked, our agent in Kirkwall can assist. Find the dead drop located in an alleyway near the Lowtown foundries during daylight hours. Protect the letters at all costs.

Warden-Commander of Ferelden

If Avernus continues his research ethically...

The limitations put upon my research have greatly hampered progress. With just a few subjects, I could test certain critical hypotheses. However, the information sent about the Architect has proven invaluable to my efforts, and I am pleased to report limited success. As the Architect surmised, considerable untapped power exists within Grey Warden blood. When properly prepared, its effects can be remarkable.

But my research has also revealed some alarming implications, which I've attached in the old Acanthan cipher. I urge you to send this to the First Warden at once.

I will conduct further tests as long as I'm able. My documentation is very thorough—if time finally claims me, others may follow in my footsteps.

Avernus

If Avernus continues his research without any restrictions...

The last shipment was quite helpful for my research, Commander. If you could double the supply next time, it would prove most efficacious. Additionally, the information regarding the Architect has proven invaluable—we have made several breakthroughs recently. As the Architect surmised, considerable untapped power exists within Grey Warden blood. When properly prepared, its effects can be remarkable.

Avernus

Notes

  • The quest Dark Epiphany is acquired only if the player has imported a save from Dragon Age: Origins with the Warden's Keep DLC completed. Avernus must have been spared and allowed to continue his research, either with or without ethical restrictions. Playing through Awakening is not required; if however it was completed, Hawke must first fight a group of raiders surrounding the body of a messenger in the northwestern pass of the Wounded Coast, after wandering into their vicinity.
