The evil elven gods of Dragon Age: The Veilguard have convinced an unusual set of factions to work for them. For the most part, these factions operate independently, but sometimes they find ways to collaborate.
The Dragon Age: The Veilguard quest “Statuary, Fine Art, and Antaam” is an example of this collaboration. The Antaam of Treviso have started stealing statues and paintings despite showing no interest in the arts before, and players will uncover a dangerous conspiracy if they hunt down the reason why.

How to Start Statuary, Fine Art, and Antaam
At some point after you recruit every companion, you’ll find a letter waiting for you in the Crows headquarters in Treviso. You’ll find it sitting on a chest across from the Crow leaders.
The next step is to track down Trella’s art gallery. Take the zipline east from the headquarters, then keep going east across the bridge. Keep going east through the alley to the next canal, then turn south. The art gallery is down the stairs to the right, behind a door that won’t open until you start this quest.
Trella is inside, but Antaam blocks the door with debris. You can’t smash this debris by dodging through it like normal, but you can destroy it with a weapon attack or two. Once you get through, speak to Trella, who suggests you visit the Market Master to learn more about the Antaam’s latest art thefts.
However, before you leave, make sure you open the small chest to the right of Trella. You can also interact with the wall directly behind her, which causes it to disappear. Behind it is a codex item and a large chest. Finally, Mistress Trella becomes a merchant after you speak to her, and she sells two valuables, four decor items, and two Mementos.
Where to Find the Stolen Art
Follow the quest markers back to the market and speak to the Market Master. She’ll suggest listening in on the people in the market, and you’ll get three locations to listen to. All three are interesting, but the one you want is by the art stand that’s up the stairs and to the right.
The Concerned Merchant will mention an Antaam camp down in the Drowned District. You may need to clear a bridge of blight if you chose Minrathous over Treviso, but the fight against the Antaam is the same either way. After the fight, check the three indicated barrels to discover you had been on a wild goose chase.
Next, head back to the art stall at the market. There’s a note on the table that reveals the actual location where the Antaam are handing the art over to the Venatori. Leave the market to the north and go across the bridge to the east to interrupt the two sets of villains and take them out.
Before you can complete this quest, you’ll need to find out what the Antaam wanted for the paintings. The document you need is next to the two oddly shaped chests:
You can then turn the quest in to Teia and Viago. Your rewards include 200 gold, 5 Fade-Touched Crystals, 500 XP, +100 Antivan Crows Strength, and a missive.
