We arrived in the Highlands at night. I was immediately given the task of overseeing the acquisition and staffing of the Sahrnia quarry. I asked the [[Samson|general]] why we needed a quarry if the [[Red lyrium|crystals]] will grow anywhere. Apparently the [[Elder One]] believes the composition of the earth here will ensure that it grows more rapidly and abundantly.<ref>''From the writings of Knight-Captain Fornier:''; excerpt from [[Codex entry: Suledin Keep Documents]]</ref>

The [[Inquisition]] investigates [[Red Templars|Red Templar]] activity in Emprise du Lion. The Red Templars seize [[Suledin Keep]] as their headquarters and begin to use the nearby quarry as a site for the growth and harvest of [[Red lyrium]] to supply their forces. They have also made several raids on the nearby village of [[Sahrnia]].

Some of my men feel we should take the quarry by force. The general did not specify how I was to secure the land, so I am considering a more subtle approach. Any suspicions we raise will increase the chance of a military investigation, perhaps even the newly formed [[Inquisition]]. We must operate in secret as long as possible.<ref>''From the writings of Knight-Captain Fornier:''; excerpt from [[Codex entry: Suledin Keep Documents]]</ref>

[[Red Templars]] seize control of [[Suledin Keep]] and utilize the stronghold as their newest headquarters while exploiting the nearby quarry. The Keep currently is being used for the growth and harvest of [[Red lyrium]] to supply their forces. Raids on the nearby village of [[Sahrnia]] has progressed the Red Templars agenda by the unwarranted procuring of villagers used to mine the quarry. Due to the Red Templars' sudden interest in Emprise du Lion the Inquisition opens an investigation into their activity in the region. [[The Inquisitor]] can gain access to Emprise du Lion by completing the [[Liberate Emprise du Lion]] [[war table]] scouting operation in [[Skyhold]].

Emprise du Lion is an area in the Highlands of the Dales.[1] It is a cold and craggy environment dotted with elven ruins.

Background

Emprise du Lion is a snow-covered area formerly occupied by elves. Several ancient elven ruins including a large keep and multiple coliseums are located in the area. The hot springs in the Emprise have attracted dragons in recent years.

The ancient and the modern co-exist in the highlands of Emprise du Lion, where relics of the lost elven nation are scattered among bustling human villages. These hills are home to the village of Sahrnia, known throughout Orlais for its quarry, which produces azure granite of remarkable quality.

—Excerpt from the quest journal

Involvement

This section contains spoilers for:
Dragon Age: Inquisition.

We arrived in the Highlands at night. I was immediately given the task of overseeing the acquisition and staffing of the Sahrnia quarry. I asked the general why we needed a quarry if the crystals will grow anywhere. Apparently the Elder One believes the composition of the earth here will ensure that it grows more rapidly and abundantly.[2]

Some of my men feel we should take the quarry by force. The general did not specify how I was to secure the land, so I am considering a more subtle approach. Any suspicions we raise will increase the chance of a military investigation, perhaps even the newly formed Inquisition. We must operate in secret as long as possible.[3]

Red Templars seize control of Suledin Keep and utilize the stronghold as their newest headquarters while exploiting the nearby quarry. The Keep currently is being used for the growth and harvest of Red lyrium to supply their forces. Raids on the nearby village of Sahrnia has progressed the Red Templars agenda by the unwarranted procuring of villagers used to mine the quarry. Due to the Red Templars' sudden interest in Emprise du Lion the Inquisition opens an investigation into their activity in the region.

Notes

  • There is a small unmarked cave south of Highgrove Camp: when following the path through Alphonse's Passage west from Drakon's Rise Camp, it is visible in the bend of passage due south of Highgrove Camp. It has frozen bodies hanging from the ceiling, weapons scattered on the ground, a pyramid shaped box with a note that says "DON'T TOUCH MY PYRAMID" and a loot chest (See gallery picture below).

Trivia

  • In French, "Emprise du Lion" is translated as the "Lion's Grip".

Bugs

  • xboxonexboxonepcpcps4ps4 The glyph may be rendered inside of the cave wall and not visible, but can still be interacted with. [confirmation needed]
  • pcpc Southwest of the Tower Camp there is an icon of a locked door next to a tower corresponding to the locked door underground at Valeska's Watch. This icon may not correctly disappear from the map after the door is opened.
