Merrill is an elven mage and a temporary companion to the Dalish Elf Warden during the Dalish Elf Origin.

Background

Merrill is the apprentice of the clan's Keeper, Marethari. She is interested in recovering the elves' lost lore and possess some knowledge of the elves' old magic.

Involvement

When Tamlen goes missing in old ruins, the Keeper asks Merrill to accompany the Dalish Elf to help find him. Marethari believes that Merrill's magic and knowledge of elven lore may help in the search. Tamlen cannot be found, though fortunately Merrill does not appear to contract the sickness that affected the Dalish elf and she continues to live with the clan.

Notes

• Some sneaky players may want to take Merrill's mage robes before leaving for Ostagar (remove them before speaking to Duncan in the cave, as she will be removed from the party after this dialogue). They are useful either as clothing for Morrigan later on, or as selling fodder for the Quartermaster.
• After the Warden returns from looking for Tamlen in the cave but before leaving with Duncan, a conversation between Merrill and the Warden suggests they are either very close friends or even in a romantic relationship.
