Korcari Wilds

The Korcari Wilds are a cold southern expanse of forests whose extent is not truly known. The Chasind Wilders, who live within, say that a wasteland of snow and ice waits further to the south, filled only with desolate tundra and nomadic barbarians, but the northerners believe little of what the Chasind tell them.

These forests are home to the legendary "Witch of the Wilds," Flemeth and her daughters.

Local legends state that the perpetual mist surrounding the Wilds is not natural, but rather the result of a curse. Long ago, when werewolves terrorized the country, a great arl ventured into the Wilds killing every wolf he could find, werewolf or not. A great werewolf grew enraged at the slaughter and used the blade that stabbed his mate to stab his own heart. A great mist seeped forth from his mortal wound surrounding the entire Wilds. It was so dense that the arl and his soldiers were lost inside forever.

Interesting characters or objects

A dying soldier on the path triggers a cutscene which shows how scared/confident each party member is regarding the darkspawn. If left to die, you gain some minor loot.
Missionary Jogby (the son): the corpse of this missionary can be found in the water close to the entrance of the wilds, on the west side. Looting the letter on the body will unlock the codex entry Letter to Jogby and start the quest The Missionary.
Missionary Rigby (the father): the corpse of this missionary can be found at the top of the hills near some ruins, to the east side of the area. Looting the letter on the body will unlock the codex entry Rigby's Last Will and Testament and start the quest Last Will and Testament.
The Wilds Flower needed to heal the hound for the quest The Mabari Hound can be found not far from the dying soldier
The Vials of Darkspawn Blood needed for the Tainted Blood quest can be looted on the Hurlock or Genlock. Note that you will actually get four vials, despite the quest asking for only three. (Actually I usually get 6, it depends on how many you kill before you loot the 3rd one turning off the drops.)
In the camp in the western part of the area, there is a chest which contains Rigby's Field Journal. Taking it will unlock the codex entry Signs of the Chasind as well as unlock the quest Chasind Trail Signs. The quest does not appear immediately in the journal but the seven signs will appear on the map.
In that same camp by the fire is the hidden cache which allows to complete the quest Last Will and Testament. This cache can only be opened if the quest has been started.
In the southern area, you can find a dead soldier with a pouch of ashes and excerpt from local legends. You can use the ashes to summon Gazarath. See A Pinch of Ashes for details.
The monsters in this area include Wolf, Genlock and Hurlock. If this is the first time each of these monsters is encountered, a corresponding codex entry will be unlocked.
Once the cutscene with Morrigan is over and you're back to the camp, it is still possible to return to the Korcari Wilds to complete unfinished quests before going to the Tower of Ishal, but only before the Joining ritual is done. After the Joining, the Korcari Wilds become inaccessible.
