*Spoilers* about the scions....

Arenvald should be in Rhalgr's Reach - west side near the river, if I remember correctly. Unless he's moved elsewhere now.

Then why would Thancred, who at the time he made the suggestion was in the Ala Mhigan quarters tell you to go to the reach right before the meeting? I guess he's back from where he went in his and Fordola's side story?

Ah, I was thinking of where he's usually located.

Anyway I went back to check the quest script to see if it had unique dialogue for Arenvald if you talk to him at that point, and couldn't find anything from him OR anything from Thancred directly telling us to talk to him.... but is this the line you were thinking of? Just before we enter the palace for the meeting.

THANCRED
So, that leaves four of us to attend the council. Arenvald is here to assist with security, incidentally, though the poor lad seems altogether too distracted for the task. Another one missing Alphinaud, I expect.

So according to the story he's in Ala Mhigo at the time, but I don't think it sounds like he's actually there-in-the-game for us to talk to, though it's possible.

He's worth talking to at his usual loaction at different points in the story though. He's had different comments after each 4.X patch.




(In any case, if Thancred was sending us over to the Reach at that point, it would make about as much sense as trekking from Ala Mhigo to Mor Dhona to meet Urianger, who immediately says he wants to have a look at Thancred, who we presumably left behind in Ala Mhigo...)
