Smith House Turana makes these for all the warriors who bear arms for House Aeducan. Some are in the game, but are only found on NPCs who don't have them in their inventory (for stealing/looting). Please fix this.Īll of these items have complete inventory data, despite the fact that you can't actually see most of them in game. There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Nothing else can be done after obtaining the rod, as there is no Shale to activate. After reading the note, a conversation with the tavern owner, Lloyd, can be accessed, completing which will activate a previously-inactive barrel, which contains a special Golem Control Rod named “Lloyd's Control Rod”. Reading this letter spawns a letter called “Note of Sale” in the abandoned general store, which states that there is a Golem Control Rod in the tavern. The cottage can only be accessed on the PC version via console commands, and when entered it contains a note named “Circle Note”, an early version of the “A Decades-Old Letter” note used to help recruit Shale in the final version.

The actual process to recruit Shale is not known, but it involved a cottage named “Wilhelm's Cottage” (which is actually the cottage to the right when the player enters the village from the world map), a note in the cottage, a note in the abandoned general store, and a Golem Control Rod in the tavern.

The quest was supposed to take place in Redcliffe village. Originally, Shale was supposed to be recruitable without any DLC. A status for being tainted (having darkspawn blood on you) exists, but there seems to be no way to reactivate it and there are no healing items associated with it.
