The divine promises to help with the chantry if Celene squashes the elven rebellion which she agrees to do which ends up being a foolish move since it backfires horribly.

The dalish want nothing to do with them or their plan nor do they care about the city elves or their rebellion, they were preoccupied with their search for the past and the eluvians, they go as far as capturing Imasheal who tries to make a bargain with Michel and he tells him about the eluvians and what they can be used for, he returns to Celene and tells her, meanwhile Braila realizes they aren't her people and that Felassan isn't like them and persuades him to help them escape and get information from Imashel he agrees.

She leads him through the eluvian, they meet up with the other group and form and uneasy truce that would end when they reach the exit, they fight corpses, reveants, demon mages, a varietal, Celene tells them what she plans to do when the eluvians are under her control, the truce breaks when one of Gaspards people attack Celene in which Gaspard kills him for breaking the truce and going against his code, they reach the end after a long journey and some backstory about what the eluvians are, some stuff about the dreamers, and some other things, the eluvians are harsh on non elvenpeople and being a 1/2 blood makes it feel that you don't belong there.
Celene and Gaspard agree to have a duel for the crystal, and agree to terms she choses her champion to fight Gaspard, while the duel was going in IImasheal tried to interfer after possessing a mage in Gaspards group, Braila notices this and stabs the mage Lunaune de Montsimmard, Imasheal and Felassan talk, something happens with his tattoos and this interests the spirit who leaves, the duel continues, Micheal was going to win but Braila called in her favor, he dropped his sword the duel ended, Braila asked Celene where she got the ring from and asked Gaspard the same. Celene got it after taking part in the game which killed Braila parents, Braila who earlier decided that she would stop at nothing to aide the city elves no matter what gains control overall the crystal and sends Gaspard, and Celenes parties away and keeps control over the crystal for the city elves.
Gaspard eventually takes Val Royeueax, Celene is in Halamsharl very weakened and has almost nothing, Braila doesn't tell Felasan the phrase to control the eluvians, Micheal is hunting Imasheal, at the end Felasan dreams and talks with an entity that's possibly Fen Harel, he doesn't know the phrase, says Braila should get a chance, the entity kills him.
