Further on, you'll run into darkspawn enemies. These have been emerging from the tunnels under Valamaar and will be scattered around the rear of the area. The dwarf forces will be engaging some of them in battle as well. Descend the stairs, clearing enemies in the way and open the door at the base of them. Inside will be the carta leader you're looking for and several of his guards. Be careful not to get bunched up in the doorway, as that can lead to a lot of pain on your part.
