About this mod

This mod fixes or changes several of the rewards in the game which were not working as intended. For example, the book that Marethari gives you is no longer junk.

Permissions and credits
All these changes are independent, they are separate files, so if you don´t like some of them, then delete the .gda file (they are named to be easily recognisable) and don´t install it. Like all my mods, this is a lore friendly mod. If you are interested in the reasoning behind the changes then keep reading, otherwise the main changes are below:

-----------------
Changes
-----------------

1) Marethari no longer gives the Tome of Slumbering Elders (Junk). Instead, she gives an Arcane Tome of the Mortal Vessel (+3 attribute points).

2) In the quest "Magistrate Orders", when you blackmail the Magistrate you got 2 gold. Now you get 6 gold.

3) After selling out Fenris to Danarius, the letter he sends with the reward is empty. Now the letter contains a magical ring from Tevinter (Ring of the Ferryman).

NOTE: If you find any other quest reward in the game which is not working as intended, let me know and i will try to fix it as well.

-----------------
Reasoning
-----------------
1) I wanted to balance the rewards given by the demon in comparison with doing right. The demon rewards are: +6 attribute points, +1 talent point, 2 magic resist runes. The reward from Marethari should be worse than those, but still useful. I went for the +3 attributes book because it fits the theme of the fade (the puzzles give also attribute points) since DAO. If i had given the +1 talent point then there would be less reason to side with the demon.

2) In the dialogue, Hawke says "i think silence is worth just as much for you". The base reward for doing the quest as the magistrate wants is 3 gold, so going from what Hawke says, the silence should be worth another 3 gold. This was bugged in the game and it was giving only 2 gold. I felt that giving more than 6 was too much and wasn´t really supported by the dialogue.

3) I wanted to add an item that was in the main game (so no dlc, and no new item), but most items you get very easily by just looting enemies or treasures. I also wanted the item to be an amulet or ring, so that it could realistically be sent with a letter. I figured most people who side with Danarius are mages, so the item should be good for them.

In the end i picked the Ring of the Ferryman. It is a ring you can buy in act3 from a vendor, but it cost like 100 gold. The ring also gives a codex entry about Tevinter, which i thought fit very well, i was annoyed such lore item was hidden in some faraway vendor. By siding with Danarius you now save yourself the trip to the vendor, plus the 100 gold.
