The Consequences of Blackwall's Lie is a war table operation in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Acquisition

Obtained after completing Rainier's Release: An Alternative or Thom Rainier's Fate, if The Inquisitor chooses to keep Rainier with the Inquisition.

Operation text

A letter, written in fine hand and lightly scented, signed by Josephine:

The issue of Thom Rainier has been settled, but his deception has had far-reaching consequences. Had we not used the Grey Warden treaties, we might not have found ourselves in so awkward a position. As it is, I receive daily messages from all quarters, demanding we make reparations. We must do something.

Scribbled beneath, signed by Cullen:

"I'm sorry, did we embarrass a duchess at a soiree by stepping on her gown, or was the sky torn open and Haven beset by an ancient darkspawn magister? We needed the gold. We needed the men. You would have persuaded someone to part with them, with or without the treaties. We are not making reparations for doing what we had to do. What no one else could have done. Don't forget, we are now allied with the Wardens. If we had no authority to conscript before, we do now."

Advisor suggestions

Josephine / 1:00:00

Do we want the Inquisition to survive beyond Corypheus's defeat? We won't always be at war. Why alienate allies when it would take so little to appease them? Let us return what was taken under false pretense, and put these treaties aside.

Leliana

Not participating in this mission.

Cullen / 1:00:00

We step forward, not back. No apologies. What happened with the Wardens gives us more authority than ever to use the treaties.

Result

Josephine

We have sent emissaries with formal apologies. We returned all that could be returned. We paid in kind for what could not. Leliana will store the Grey Warden treaties in the Skyhold archives, in remembrance of mistakes made and lessons learned. Josephine

Cullen

We'll make use of the Grey Warden treaties however we can. We're so close to Corypheus; we'll need everything we can use for this final push. Cullen

Rewards

Josephine

  • None, operation completed

Cullen

  • Gold (111-180)
