Found inside the locked house at the docks, Redcliffe Village in Dragon Age: Inquisition. The first paragraph is given when first using an ocularum, if the letter hasn’t been found.
A skull set upon a staff, these macabre artifacts cause magical shards in the area to glow with magical radiance when a viewer looks through the eyes of the skull.
Alexius was quite clear in his orders. We must scour the countryside to find more of the shards. Without them, the Venatori cannot claim the treasure our master seeks. For that, we need the oculara. Without them, the shards are nearly impossible to find, even if they are no longer cloaked by whatever magic hid them for all these centuries.
There must be more Tranquil in the area — the rebels abandoned most of them when they fled their Circles. Remember, the skull will only attune properly if the Tranquil is in close proximity to one of the shards when the demon is forced to possess him. Even then, the blow must be delivered immediately. The oculara produced from Tranquil killed even minutes later failed to illuminate the shards when used.
I trust you to continue your efforts in this matter. Our master expects success.

Little test (again). Sorry for the quality.
Based on a screenshot. (His right arm is missing, it’s normal). The problem is that I am terribly insecure and it shows; there is a sort of shyness that is reflected through the lines, it’s a little worrisome.
Realistic proportions are too delicate to draw, we cannot afford mistakes, and the caricatural style is just as constraining because it requires a certain audacity.
Blackwall from Dragon Age: Inquisition, luscious beard and all. Studied from a screenshot
Some comments about Blackwall (Haven/pre-revelations):
“I met Warden Blackwall. Seems to be a good man.” (a guy in the Haven tavern)
“I am very pleased you joined us, Warden Blackwall. We need strong, righteous warriors-now more than ever.” (Cassandra)
“It’s just … all that niceness …” (Varric comparing Blackwall to Sebastian)
“He seems to be a good man.” (Leliana)
“
You could’ve been one of the Chargers, Blackwall. You’ve got the
stature, the attitude.” (Bull, and we all know how much he values and
respects his men)
“He’s … too good, right ?” (Sera)
“Ah, you must mean Blackwall. Good man” (Giles)
(non-exhaustive examples)
No one knows his past at this stage of the game.
It’s
clear from the beginning, everyone can see it: he’s a good man.
it’s obvious and it remains so throughout the story: Thom is a serious,
decent and righteous person.
