Thom Rainier's Fate is a war table scouting operation in Dragon Age: Inquisition. Costs 1 Power to complete.
Acquisition[]
Available during Blackwall's companion quest Revelations, once the Inquisitor has spoken to Cullen in Val Royeaux about Thom Rainier's fate. The Inquisitor must select the "I can't decide this yet" or "Get him out" dialogue option.
Operation text[]
If you think it worthwhile, we can have Thom Rainier, previously known to us as 'Blackwall,' released from the Val Royeaux prison in which he awaits justice. Keep in mind, Inquisitor, that he is wanted in Orlais for the massacre which claimed the lives of Lord Vincent Callier, general and staunch ally of Celene, and all of Callier's family. I leave this in your hands.

Advisor suggestions[]
Connections[]
I can request a special dispensation from the Orlesian throne, allowing Thom Rainier to be transferred to Inquisition custody. This may anger some, but after Halamshiral, they owe us a favor.
Secrets[]
Two problems, one solution. There was a traitor to our cause, a man similar in build and appearance to Rainier. We bind and gag him, and have him take Rainier's place. He is condemned instead, and the world believes Rainier has paid the price.
Forces[]
We can storm the prison with a small force and take Rainier into our custody. Val Royeaux's prison guards will oppose us; we should be prepared for casualties.
Results[]
Connections[]
The dispensation came, few questions asked. What passed in Halamshiral is fresh in their minds. Rainier awaits your judgment.
Josephine
Secrets[]
Our chosen replacement was sentenced in Thom Rainier's stead. So far as the world knows, Rainier met his death at dawn. My agents will maintain the deception, silencing all rumors. The real Rainier is in our custody.
Leliana
Forces[]
Our soldiers demanded that Val Royeaux's guards lay down their arms. Few did. Blood was shed. I hope this man was worth the price. He awaits your judgment.

Notes[]

- The way in which Thom Rainier is released from prison—through Rainier's Release: An Alternative or Thom Rainier's Fate—will affect the dialogue during the judgment.
- If Josephine is selected, Rainier will call the Inquisition corrupt, and remark on how the Inquisitor may be undoing all of Josephine's hard work.
- If Leliana is selected, Rainier will remark on how yet another man has died in his stead.
- If Cullen is selected, Rainier is disgusted with the killing of men doing their duty.
- Completing this operation will prompt the message "New Area Unlocked", though no new area will be available on the map.
