This is less “quest” per se and more of a formal introduction to Sebastian. Approach the waypoint marker close to the Chantry in Hightown to trigger a cutscene. Once this ends, approach the Chanter’s Board and accept the Duty companion quest to wrap up The Exiled Prince.
Consequences:
Unlocks Sebastian Vael as a potential companion in Act 2 and his related quests. The first of these, Duty, is available immediately.

Read the letter at Gamlen’s House to receive a formal invitation to the Black Emporium.
Simply enter the Black Emporium via the main Kirkwall map to complete this quest. Again, like The Exiled Prince, it’s merely an exercise in guiding you to a particular location.
The Black Emporium features several Codex entries, two shops that contain interesting items (many of which will be wildly beyond your financial reach) and, of greater import on your first visit, a collectible marked Discarded Weapons and Armor. This contains free equipment that will give your character a considerable boost during the early stages of Act 1. We suggest that you outfit Hawke with items suitable for your chosen class, keep weapons that you don’t need for companions (future or present), then sell unneeded armor at one of the stores to generate funds.
The Mirror of Transformation can be used to change Hawke’s appearance, thumbnail portrait or name. Using it may cause your character to remove their current headgear, so be sure to reequip it before you head out.
