Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening Hints

VIGIL'S KEEP: Oaths of Fealty

  • 1 of 7: After you exit the keep's throne room for the first time, talk to the private who's next to the throne room transition point again to get this quest. (NOTE: This entire quest is all stuck in under the one objective of "Present yourself to the nobles," so these hints won't have an objective list.)
  • 2 of 7: Reenter the throne room and talk to Seneschal Varel.
  • 3 of 7: After the presentation ceremony is over, talk to Lord Eddelbrek to get the "Defending the Land" optional quest.
  • 4 of 7: Finish it, then talk to Lord Guy if you created a new character instead of importing one. (If you imported one, Lord Guy won't have anything to say to you.)
  • 5 of 7: Shut him up with a persuade or intimidate option, then say to let him sleep it off.
  • 6 of 7: You can then talk to either Ser Tamra or Anders to get the "A Brewing Conspiracy" optional quest.
  • 7 of 7: There's nothing else to do, so talk to Seneschal Varel and tell him the ceremony has gone on long enough.
