Random encounters
These are some of the possible random encounters you may experience when travelling to this destination (especially from Denerim).
Notes
- It is possible to explore beyond the regular map boundaries, though there's little there save for a short dead-end pathway amidst some ruins and trees.
- The sacks near the door to The Spoiled Princess inn, seems to respawn their content. For PC V1.5, if you loot the sacks before entering The Spoiled Princess, you will acquire some random loot. Upon leaving The Spoiled Princess (you might have to complete all dialogue options with the Innkeeper), the sacks can be looted again.
