TheWoWDBIf you're on the part where you have to speak with Moira and she flys you over to a bridge and you don't see Supervisor Varric when you land - just wait a little bit. He has a longer respawn timer and will appear hovering in the air just over the bridge.

The scene where you hijack the ironstrider has to be one of my favorites yet. It just looked so ridiculous
When you talk to Moira she will mount up and take you to Supervisor Varric. This can bug out if you are already mounted and she will fly away with out you. Abandon the quest and make sure you are not mounted before speaking to her.

Description
We've done our best to contain the High Speaker's followers. We've hampered their efforts at destroying or looting anything they can take with them into Hall of Awakening. Now, we just need to deal with the leader of their forces before they can coordinate a more unified resistance. Are you ready to do this, {name}?
