Harvest of History is a war table operation in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Acquisition[]

Available upon completion of the main quest Here Lies the Abyss and speaking to Elan Ve'mal in Skyhold's upper courtyard.

Operation text[]

A letter from the Inquisition apothecary Elan Ve'Mal, directed to the Inquisitor alone:

Inquisitor,

I am not, by several estimations of character, a "nice person." As they say: "One must have a past to carve a future." Do they say that? Perhaps I should clarify that I say that, and for my own reasons, I am here, and I serve. I trust that you see the value in that and would invest in protecting it.

Certain resources of mine are in the hands of another. Said person helped create my recipes. The value of my work is lessened if it is duplicated elsewhere. It is not a matter of "recovery" so much as "denial." Who knows who might receive benefit of this brewing doppelganger? You are free to ignore this situation, but would it not be better for the resources of the Inquisition to be unique? If this person were simply gone?

The location of a freehold follows, and the name "Isthmus Goodson."

Adviser suggestions[]

Josephine - 2:24:00[]

If we have doubts about this person, it is a simple matter to have a local Lord imprison him in relative comfort for the duration of our concern.

Leliana - 3:00:00[]

We're hardly in a place to be precious about a single life. You decide what serves our cause, and we will see it done.

Cullen - 3:00:00[]

The hold is near Tevinter territory that is unknown or in dispute. If we are to hobble this person on a hunch, raze the fields, but do not stoop to outright killing.

Results[]

Josephine[]

As ordered, Isthmus Goodson now resides in an allied Lord's tower cell, attended by polite but hooded servants. Claims against him seem dubious, but there is no denying that he was stocked to supply a significant force, should one have come calling.

Josephine

A note from the Inquisition apothecary:

Interesting times, Inquisitor. Though it was not the final action I was hoping for, I thank you for this interjection. I look forward to ensuring the health and effectiveness of the Inquisition for as long as needed.

Elan Ve'Mal

Leliana[]

Isthmus Goodson is dead. As you ordered.

Leliana

A note from the Inquisition apothecary:

Interesting times, Inquisitor. I appreciate the finality with which you address potential problems, and I assure you that this action was both for my interests and for yours. Although I promise yours are far loftier, far more deserving, and will retain my full attention for as long as needed.

Elan Ve'mal

Cullen[]

Our soldiers allowed Isthmus Goodson to leave his holdings before they razed his fields. There were reportedly several oddly colored clouds that choked a flock of birds. While there is no sign that Isthmus intended to supply an enemy, he had the means to do so.
