Map of the area

The Pearl is one of Denerim's fancier brothels. People can engage in sexual activity and drinking here, as long as they pay Sanga, the proprietor, the right price.

Involved In

The Warden may want to visit the brothel in order to clear out some unruly mercenaries or learn the duelist specialization from Isabela, a ship captain who is currently visiting the Pearl for a bit of fun. For details on the requirements that must be met to learn the duelist specialization and/or bed Isabela see Isabela's involvement. The Warden may also speak to Casavir who is visiting the brothel with his captain. He can supply the Warden with more information about her.

In addition, The Warden can engage in sexual activity with males and females of many different races for the fee of 40 (or at the negotiated price of 30 ). One of the options available at the Pearl is "Surprise Me." The result of this decision can include waking up next to a Husky Dwarf, a "Magic Wand" (a 2H maul with the caption "You're not sure if you want to remember what happened last night"), a pair of nugs, in a room with an "Insertion Tool and Extraction Tool" or another room with flowers, a gimp tied to the bed with a whip nearby. Regardless of choice, the Warden will be in the room alone, naked apart from undergarments.

Approval

Engaging in any sexual activity with the workers at the Pearl will result in approval changes (only once):

• Alistair disapproves (-1), unless he is hardened
• Leliana disapproves (-1), unless she is hardened
• Wynne disapproves (-1)
• Oghren approves (+1), or +3 if the Warden is female and selects one of the female workers.
• Morrigan disapproves (-10) if you are in romance with her.

Quests

When in The Marketplace, there is a poster on the wall connected to the Alienage entrance (facing the gate left hand side) calling for all supporters of the Grey Wardens. The Warden can ask Sanga about where the potential meeting is and she gestures to the back room. There will already be a quest marker over it. When The Warden knocks on the door a muffled voice asks for the password, and one of your options is "The griffons shall ride again". The door is unlocked and you are confronted by three of Arl Howe's men, Paedan, Shevra and two Qunari Mercenaries, who have apparently set it up as a trap for Grey Warden supporters and are moderately surprised to have caught an actual Grey Warden. If your cunning is high enough, there is a Persuade response. Unfortunately, these thugs are quite happy with the way things are working since it has basically made all their illegal activities legal, so the only option is to kill them.

It's a close quarters fight but fairly straightforward. When they are dead, Paedan will have "Paedan's Orders" from the Arl stating how much gold they receive per bounty. If you confront Paedan after dispatching Arl Howe, they apologize for choosing the wrong side and there is no fight.

Note: Killing Paedan is a part of the quest "Trial of Crows"
