Dragon Age: Inquisition

Purchase on Amazon

Overview

By

&
Scott Peers

The Hinterlands is located in Ferelden outside of Redcliffe. The conflict between Rebel Mages and Templars is evident here as the two sides often battle across the hilly terrain. This is one of the largest areas available for exploration in Thedas with plenty for the Inquisitor to do. The Crossroads and Redcliffe Farm highlight the mainstays of civilization not wrought with conflict but with commerce and stability. There is a High Dragon in this zone and the Carta base dungeon of Valammar.
