The Hinterlands are a region in Ferelden located between the fortress of Ostagar and Redcliffe.
Background
The Hinterlands comprises a good deal of fertile agricultural land and as such is populated with a great many farmsteads throughout the area. Its main settlement is Redcliffe Village, situated in the western hills of Ferelden and protected by Redcliffe Castle. Since the end of the Fifth Blight, the Hinterlands have seen an influx of settlers from Redcliffe Village looking to escape unpleasant memories of the darkspawn and the other dark events which befell Redcliffe during the last Blight.
Involvement
“The soldiers call themselves the Inquisition. They've been helping the refugees near Redcliffe. Poking around a fair bit too, though they haven't come near here. They have someone with a trick for closing those rifts.” ―suspicios Hinterlands activity report
Ever since the outbreak of the Mage-Templar War, the Hinterlands has suffered as the site of several battles between apostate mages and rebel templars. The local population has been the victim of attacks by both sides.
The Inquisitor can help restore order to the region by helping the inhabitants in a variety of ways, and ultimately by ending Mage-Templar War. The Inquisitor can gain access to the Hinterlands by completing the Scout the Hinterlands war table operation in Haven.
