Hello, if anyone remember playing BG2, there is a place in the Bridge District called the Balthis Estate which seems to serve no purpose, and entering would get you into a fight with guards. Apparently there was a quest which was removed from the final game, in which Haer'Dalis was framed for murder by the art merchant in the Waukeen District. The dialogue data was replaced with gibberish in the game, but some items of the quest still remain:
MISC6F - Quataris' Confession
This scroll contains a brief confession written by Quataris. You can use this
confession to have Haer'Dalis cleared. The scroll reads like this:
"I, Quataris, do hearby swear that I have, with Malice and Forethought,
framed one Haer'Dalis for the Theft of a certain Bust of Sune. I obtained the
services of one Janos to steal the Bust for me. In doing so, he took the
Appearance of Haer'Dalis and, without my knowledge or consent, most foully
Murdered the Owner of the Bust, the gentleman Acton Balthis. I swear the
Events within this Letter to be True and Clear."
The scroll is signed in the cramped quill-work of Quataris.
MISC6G - Bust of Sune
A small but exquisite bust depicting the goddess, Sune. It was found in the
possession of a shady art dealer called Quataris.

sadly, i think there is little to no chance for them to restore it, as it belongs to unfinished business, which is out of contract's scope. however, there is haerdalis romance as npc mod, currently soa only, tob in progress, if you care for that. i heard good things but never played it (just google it), but i think this quest is not restored in it.
