A Manuscript of Some Authority

A Manuscript of Some Authority is a side quest in Dragon Age: Inquisition.
== Acquisition ==
The quest is acquired by completing How to Lure a Dragon, via dialogue with Frederic.
== Walkthrough ==
Find the Tevinter writing on Dragon Luring. The manuscript is found in the Still Ruins. It is in a small room on the west side of the Hall of Silence, the same room that contains a Veilfire torch.
Deliver the manuscript to Frederic, and he will ask if the Inquisitor can translate it. The Inquisitor suggests that the Inquisition may have access to someone who can. Unlocks the War Table operation Translate the Dragon Text. This will cost 5 Power to complete.
After completing the operation, return to Frederic to complete the quest.
== Rewards ==
Deliver the manuscript to Frederic yields:
* 242 XP
* Influence 80
Returning to Frederic with the translated manuscript yields:
* 242 XP
* Influence 80
== Results ==
* Frederic gives out the final quest in the chain, The Abyssal High Dragon, upon completion of Sharper White Claws.
== Notes ==
* If Dorian is present in the party when Frederic states he cannot translate the writing, he will claim it to be of ancient Tevinter origin.
* The book can be obtained in the Still Ruins prior to acquiring the quest. When turning in any prerequisite quests, simply handing Frederic the book will complete the quest immediately.
== Bugs ==
* If Sharper White Claws has advanced to the point where the White Claw Raiders have been killed, but the quest has not yet been turned in to Frederic (with the dialogue "The raiders are dead."), turning in the translated manuscript and completing this quest will make him assume that quest has been completed, removing the dialogue option to complete it. This will cause the quest to remain incomplete in the journal, with no reward granted, while still advancing the quest chain to The Abyssal High Dragon.
