The Litany of Adralla is a plot item in Dragon Age: Origins, received during Broken Circle.
Acquisition[]
It is found on Niall's dead body after the Sloth Demon is defeated and you have returned from The Fade: Lost in Dreams.
Background[]
Divine Clemence I commissioned Adralla of Vyrantium to write the Litany of Adralla in 4:46 Black.[1]
Adralla of Vyrantium dedicated her life to the study of blood magic—the academic study, rather than the practice. A deeply pious mage, she was renowned in her day for having found a counter to every form of mind control, a defense against dream walkers, and even counter-spells to demonic summons.
Her efforts went unappreciated in her native Tevinter, however. After three different magisters attempted to have her killed, she fled the country, choosing to take refuge in the land of Blessed Andraste's birth. She spent the remainder of her days with the Circle in Ferelden.
The Litany of Adralla disrupts the casting of mind-control spells. Use the Litany whenever a creature tries to dominate another with magic, and it will interrupt the casting. Once the spell is in effect and a character is under a blood mage's power, it is too late.
—From Codex entry: The Litany of AdrallaInvolvement[]
After The Fade: Lost in Dreams has been completed it can be retrieved from Niall's corpse. It is a vital tool to help defeat Uldred. When he starts to use a spell to bring more Abominations to him, using the Litany will prevent the spell from continuing. If Wynne is in the party she will say things like 'use it now' to alert the Warden that the Litany should be used.
The Litany does not have to be used, and allowing Uldred to turn some mages during the battle will allow you to get more experience points. However, if Irving is controlled and killed, it is impossible to side with the mages during the Broken Circle quest.
