== Trivia ==

== Bugs ==
* After completing the main quests Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts and Here Lies the Abyss the Inquisitor may not be able to talk to her. There are two possible workarounds; (tested on PC)
# Go to the tavern in Val Royeaux, where Maryden also plays. Sometimes you can talk to her here and get the mission that way.
# Making a quick save at either the Herald's Rest or the tavern in Val Royeaux and reloading this save. This sometimes fixes the character and you can talk to her to get the mission.
* In Haven, it is possible to obtain many songs in sequence by standing on the ledge directly behind her position at the Singing Maiden, then going out of range and coming back.
