Scattered Glyphs is a side quest in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

There are Ancient Elven glyphs scattered across the Plains that appear to be pieces of a greater message.

Acquisition

This quest is obtained by speaking to Keeper Hawen at the Dalish Encampment in the Exalted Plains. The runes can be revealed prior to obtaining this quest.

Walkthrough

Find the glyphs and reveal them using veilfire:

  • One glyph is found in the Ancient Baths. After the wall is broken down, walk down to the bottom of the steps. The glyph is along the north wall just before the arches. You need the torch to see it.
The revealed symbols depict a pair of hands cupped around the moon.
The revealed symbols show a hawk and a hare chasing the sun.
  • One glyph is on the opposite side of the hill from the Shrine of Sylaise. Steps near a broken section of wall lead to a collapsed tunnel entrance.
The revealed symbols show what appears to be Dirthamen, the elven god of secrets, on the back of a large crow.
  • One glyph is in the only collapsed building of the open area in the Enavuris region, north-northwest of the Dalish Camp. The glyph is located at the western half pillar inside the ruins.
The revealed symbols show two ravens. One grips a heart in its talons, the other a mirror.
