Appearances	Dragon Age: Inquisition

Memories of the Grey is a companion quest for Blackwall in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Blackwall possesses maps that chart old Warden camps and outposts throughout Ferelden and Orlais. The Wardens who abandoned these camps may have left behind artifacts of interest to Blackwall.

Acquisition

After Blackwall has been recruited, speak to him in either Haven or Skyhold. During the first non-cutscene conversation he will automatically give the quest.

Walkthrough

The artifacts are always hidden and the search feature must be used to find them. Artifacts are located in the following places:

• 2 in the Hinterlands:
  • Maps of the Deep Roads – At Calenhad's Foothold.
  • Pristine Griffon Feather – In Hafter's Woods, southeast of the Forest Camp.

• 2 on the Storm Coast:
  • Grey Warden Treaties – In an abandoned camp in Apostate's Landing, southeast of the Stone Tree landmark; this camp also holds an objective for the quest Wardens of the Coast.
  • Warden-Commander's Badge – In an abandoned hut on the Westridge, east of the Driftwood Margin Camp; this hut again holds an objective for Wardens of the Coast and the bottle of Vintage: Warden Riordan.

• 2 in the Fallow Mire:
  • Grey Warden Tome – Found within the locked room atop the battlements; see side quest Lost Souls.
    Note: Requires Deft Hands, Fine Tools inquisition perk.
    Acquiring the tome will unlock the Patron of the Arts song Shred of Blue. A mosaic piece from the Freed Are Slaves collection can be found nearby.
  • Grey Warden Banner – Standing in a corner with some crates in the far right arcade of the Avvar Leader's Base Camp, the side opposite to the door that holds the Inquisition hostages.

• 2 in the Western Approach:
• Grey Warden Sword – Found atop a wooden tower inside Dustytop Fort; southwest of the Nazaire's Pass Camp, near one of the rifts off the pass.
  • Vial of Archdemon Blood – Found in the Echoback Fort.

• 2 in Emprise du Lion:
  • Joining Chalice – Found on an altar in Valeska's Watch.
  • Grey Warden Armor – In Valeska's Watch, found in the same room as the landmark.

Results

• Blackwall Greatly Approves every time an artifact is found if he is in the active party.
• If he is not in the party when the first artifact is recovered, Blackwall Approves the next time he is spoken to in Haven or Skyhold. He also comments about how he would have liked to be present when the Inquisitor had found it.

Notes

• Prior to Revelations, Blackwall will make comments like "Good find." but his dialog changes afterwards to comments like "It feels good to be helping the Wardens, even after everything."
