Noble Deeds, Noble Heart is a side quest in Dragon Age: Inquisition
Clara heard a rumor that Fairbanks is of noble descent. She believes it and wants proof to show the Council of Heralds. If Fairbanks gains power, she hopes he can do more for the people of the Dales.
Acquisition[]
Obtained by speaking with Clara in Watcher's Reach or Argon's Lodge after defeating Sister Costeau and freeing the captives in the Veridium Mine during the side quest A Fallen Sister.
Walkthrough[]
Find three items proving Fairbanks' nobility. The items will be marked clearly on the map. Items #1 and #3 are behind a locked door that require a rogue to unlock it.
- A book found in the timber structure outside of Argon's Lodge (in gallery below).
- An old painting in the gazebo north of Villa Maurel (in gallery below).
- A journal in the locked building south of Villa Maurel (under codex below).
Once found you are instructed to present proof of Fairbanks' nobility to an interested party—either Fairbanks himself or Clara. Doing so will complete the quest.

Bugs[]
- A bug may occur that potentially renders the quest items from being discovered or looted when visiting the location prior to acquiring the quest. The only known solution involves reloading a prior save. To prevent the bug from triggering, visit the mine first and then venture to Watcher's Reach and speak to Clara prior to continuing on to Villa Maurel or Argon's Lodge.[confirmation needed]
