JOWAN’S INTENTIONS
Jowan's Intention is a Chanter's Board quest that can conclude Jowan's story. In order to get this quest, it is necessary to free Jowan from the dungeon in (Redcliffe Castle Basement M, 2). Jowan will want to stay and help, so he will need to be told to "Run. I never want to see you again." If Jowan does stay to help, then Bann Teagan will either:
Imprison him and refuse to free him until Arl Eamon is cured.
Order his execution.
Order his execution and let you kill him.
If he is imprisoned for Arl Eamon to decide his fate, he will then either execute Jowan or send him to the Circle Tower, where his fate will be decided by the Circle.
Once The Urn of Sacred Ashes is complete and Arl Eamon is cured, "Jowan's Intention" will automatically appear in the Chanter's Board section of the Quest Journal. Brother Bism requires that Jowan is pursued and that any threat he represents is eliminated.
Walkthrough
A new world map location marked "Jowan" (locally called Deep Woods) appears just north of the Brecilian Forest on the World map. (Can only be explored on PC version of the game, so it’s an incomplete quest for console)
Travel to this location to find Jowan protecting some refugees from Blight Wolves and Bereskarn.
Once the fight is over, Jowan will explain he is trying to help out. You can let him go or attack him.
Return to any Chanter's Board representative to complete the quest.
