I decided to try this. Other than the 'normal' escort quests that come up I've never done much with them, so I started a new playthrough and gifted NPCs all over the place till I got the first chime. When I reached Gran Soren the inn had the escort quests available. Did them all. As I did them I kept gifting randoms all over Gransys till they chimed. They all seemed to work, from random guards and citizens to Ophis's girls. I even got to peacefully gaze over Hillfigure Knoll with Arsmith's waitress, who was holding her serving tray -- THAT's dedication.

I remembered to chime Tomlin and Wilhem and of course the Dragonforged (the 3 'Heart's Compass' quests), then I went and met the Duke. Went back to the Union Inn and the board was empty.

According to the official guide the DF's quest is available 'After meeting the Duke," so I'm not sure what to try next.  I went back and took the Griffin's Bane quest to see if that'd do it, but nope.  Guess I'll just keep checking as I progress.
