Dragon Age: Origins Hints

Diamond Quarter Tour

  • 1 of 9: The entrance to the Diamond Quarter is about halfway down the Orzammar Commons' west section.
  • 2 of 9: If your main character is a dwarf commoner, your sister Rica will run up and talk to you when you first enter the area. When she volunteers to take you to Vartag Gavorn, say you'll find him yourself so you can continue exploring for now.
  • 3 of 9: Go up the nearby stairs to find a council writ you can read for a codex entry.
  • 4 of 9: Go north until you find the door to House Harrowmont.
  • 5 of 9: Look to the east of House Harrowmont for a weapon rack you can loot.
  • 6 of 9: Past that, examine the large wall carving that's over a door to get a codex entry.
  • 7 of 9: The next thing you come to is the door to the Royal Palace.
  • 8 of 9: East of the palace is the Chamber of the Assembly building. Wait to enter it until you're done with your explorations, since it's a quest-related area.
  • 9 of 9: Farther east is the door to the Shaperate building.
