Here Lies the Abyss
*SPOILER WARNING*
This is a very involved quest line involving Hawke the Champion of Kirkwall. First you will need to meet Hawke in Crestwood where you will be introduced to his/hers Greywarden ally. After meeting with them you will learn about a plot involving the brainwashing of Greywardens and making them unknowingly assist in Corypheus's plans.
Having Blackwall in your party will open up unique dialog options due to the fact that this quest is about the plight of the Greywardens. However I highly recommend bringing Cole, Sera and Iron Bull with you to Adamant fortress if possible because you will end up in the Fade for awhile and those three do not like the spirit realm at all. Even bringing just one of them will result in some pretty humorous banter but with all three of them, you will not regret it I promise.
GAMER TIP: Even if you do not bring Blackwall with you to Adamant fortress you will still have a special dialog option available to you if you unlocked the Nobility Knowledge perk in order to convince the Greywarden's to help you fight against the demons. And even if you exile the Greywardens you can still allow Blackwall to stay in your party, if you don't than Sera will not be happy.

Fears of the Dreamers Side Quest
There will be five encounters throughout the Fade with phantom dreamers. When you initially meet them there will be a short description and you will need to search the nearby areas for a special item to help stifle their fear. Upon returning it to the dreamer you will be rewarded with an ability perk point. Once all of the dreamers have been helped they will be waiting for you in the cave to the final nightmare boss fight. They are easy to miss so make sure you find them before the end of the quest to claim your reward.
