The Shaper's Life is an unmarked side quest in Dragon Age: Origins.

Acquisition

The quest is started by touching the Wall of Memories in the Shaperate of Orzammar. This also generates the first part of Codex entry: The Shaper's Life.

You can also start this quest by examining any of the three rune stones (although the quest does not appear in your Journal).

Walkthrough

The Warden must then seek out three rune stones. In order to access all of them the Warden must have advanced the quest line A Paragon of Her Kind sufficiently.

• At the left hand of the Mines Commander in the Orzammar Commons right before the entrance to the Deep Roads.
• In the northeast caves of Caridin's Cross.
• In the west central room of the Dead Trenches.

Once all the dwarven runes have been interacted with, the Warden must return to the Shaperate and interact with the Wall of Memories one more time. The codex entry will update one last time stating that the Warden has been blessed as they have "walked the path of the Shaperate".

Rewards

Depending on the Warden's class:

• Shaperate's Blessing, for a warrior Warden.
  
• Shaperate's Blessing, for a rogue Warden.
  
• Shaperate's Blessing, for a mage Warden.
  

Bug! Due to a coding error, the quest provides no reward.
