Scout the Hinterlands is a war table scouting operation in Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Acquisition[]
This is the first operation that becomes available to the Inquisitor while in Haven and serves as an introduction to the war table mechanic.
Operation text[]
Mother Giselle was last seen in the Hinterlands outside Redcliffe, tending refugees who fled the fighting between renegade templars and apostate mages. The latest reports suggest that the vicious struggle between the two groups has spread to the Hinterlands, catching the refugees—and Mother Giselle—in the middle. It is vital to protect her and, if possible, restore order to the area.

If Giselle dies, any hope of Chantry support dies with her. My scouts will slip past the fighting, find her, and protect her with their lives.

Result[]
We avoided the fighting as best we could—it's every bit as bad as we'd feared. The apostates are mad, attacking anything that moves, and it appears that the templars here aren't following anyone's orders any longer. We located Mother Giselle and are trying to protect her, but she refuses to leave the refugees until we've ensured their safety. That will be hard to do without troops to push the apostates and the templars out of the area.
Commander Cullen asked me to make inquiries of Master Dennet, a retired horsemaster of Redcliffe, who lives in the area. We tried to contact him about obtaining better horses for the Inquisition, but we've been unable to get through the fighting.
