The trip down the mountains from Skyhold is no walk in the park, and south of the Hinterlands the land turns wet and miserable, subject to seemingly endless storms. Villagers have tried to carve out a meagre existence in the Fallow Mire, but their lives are under constant threat by a tidal wave of undead rising from the murky waters flooding much of the region.
The Inquisition has sent a sizeable force, and travel back and forth between the Mire and Skyhold happens as often and as quickly as conditions allow. The camp is a neat patch of tents on the largest bit of dry land to be found. "Dry" is relative; everything's still pretty muddy. There are several clusters of tents, tucked between rock outcroppings and abandoned buildings, the least leaky of which are being used to store what supplies the Inquisition has managed to haul in over the difficult terrain. Campfires are numerous and fill the area with a constant smouldering glow and low-hanging cloud of smoke that mingles with the morning and evening fogs. It's lovely, really.
Fisher's End barely even counts as a village-- just a haphazard handful of ramshackle buildings perched on the edge of the swamp-- but it does have a single tavern. It's a dreary-looking wooden shack like every other structure in the area, distinguishable only by the lamp still lit above the door and the sign that swings creakily in the breeze. Whatever was painted on it has long since worn away and been molded over. The place is just known as "the tavern" because it is literally the only tavern for miles and miles around.
Inside is dim and smoky from peat-burning fires in the two grates. There are a half-dozen tables with benches, none of which ever seem quite level on the uneven floor. The bar is tended by Thorolf, a grizzled bearded fellow with a local accent so thick he's almost unintelligible. No matter the time of day he serves a simple fisherman's meal of hard bread, salted fish, and a hunk of strong cheese. His cellar is stocked with exactly three varieties of alcohol: one ale, one wine, and one spirit, all of which are strong and dark. There aren't many locals left, but there are usually a few hunched over a mug or huddled around the fire.

Not holding back is definitely appreciated, given that sigh. Korrin can take some pressure if it means undoing some of those knots. "Not really, no. At least not in a way that I'd want you to stop. It's been like that for so long that I've forgotten anything different."

"You're welcome to come for a massage whenever you like," He offered. "I don't mind at all. I mind even less if you come bearing alcohol or foodstuffs that aren't rations."
no subject
"You might regret offering if you knew how often I'd take you up on that, you know. But I'd definitely provide compensation, whether I make it or not. If I don't get a 'care package' soon, I might miss some things enough to try making them myself. You can be my test nug."

"Test nug for suspicious home-brewed vashoth alcohol? Obviously I'm in."

"Anytime," He replied, meaning it just as much, and leaning in against her happily. Give him an inch and he'll take a mile, Korrin, as well as rest his head on your shoulder.
"Just glad that I can help. I think everyone's a little over-wound, here in the Mire. Can't really blame anyone - this place is, forgive the language, a shit hole."
