Head to the bushes and Erlina will distract the guards. Run around the corner past the door and check the chest which was blocked off before then head inside. Speak with Erlina to find out where Anora is at then head south from the Kitchen to find two wooden crates. Head north past the guards to a small room with another wooden crate. Go west now and up the hall to the left where some archers are practicing. Check the weapon stand and armor stand then go north from the hall.

Enter the first room on the left to find a chest and a book on Codex 214: The First Blight - Chapter 4 . The second room on the left has a single chest as does the second room on the right. The first room on the right is empty in terms of loot. Go all the way north and turn the corner east to find Anora; unfortunately her door is sealed shut by magic. Go to the four-way intersection and head north to find a book for Codex 125: Gwaren . Head back and go east this time. The first door to the north has a guard receiving some “favors”, if you get too close though he will be suspicious and sound the alarm so keep your distance.

You can find the Grey Warden Documents in the aptly named Chest of Documents just before you reach Riordan. Riordan is a senior Warden and offers valuable knowledge on the Grey Wardens.

Unlock the door to the south at the end of the hall to find three Treasure Piles, a chest, and a vase to obtain quite a bit of money, a Medium Silver Bar gift, and Howe’s Shield. Proceed north to find a book on Codex 104: Antiva and a Chest of Documents that contain Grey Warden Documents . In the next room you will find Riordan; bring up the documents and then ask for Howe’s whereabouts. Unfortunately, at this time Riordan cannot be of any aid so head to the Dungeon.
