Dragon Age II Quests

Companions: Family History

Before obtaining any key item, the main and most important requirement to beginning this quest is, to even making this quest possible, is Carver's surviving through the Prologue. Without him, this quest ceases to be.

You'll likely have, or are in the middle of completing, gone through the Companion quest: Birthright. A meticulous comb-through of the Estate leads you to important-looking documents entitled Tobrius's Documents, which are to be brought to the very man who wrote them, Tobias. He can be found in the Gallows. After speaking to him there, he hands you Father's Letters.

These letters reveal Carver's namesake, and showing them to Carver back at Gamlen's house can swing Hawke's relationship with her brother toward the positive, depending on how she reacts to this emotional revelation.
