Haven's destruction was total. Between the battles with demons, templars, and mages, the corrupted dragon Corypheus unleashed, and the avalanche that finally ended the fight and covered the Inquisition's retreat, what was once a small town is little more than charred and broken remains, large portions of which are buried.

But it is far from abandoned: pilgrims and gawkers still come to see the place the Herald of Andraste rose and fell, recruits, agents, visitors and suppliers pass through on their way to Skyhold, and the Inquisition itself has not entirely abandoned the village they destroyed. Teams work to clear debris, to salvage what materials and supplies they can, to find the dead and give them proper send-offs. All those who fell that day deserve rites, but they search especially for the Herald. With an official state funeral scheduled in just a few days' time, the hunt for her remains has intensified, and anyone who can be spared has been sent down the mountains to clear snow and rubble. That includes you.

There is a rift near the edge of town-- almost dormant since the Breach was closed, and guarded by another small team of Inquisition members, just in case. Someone up the hill in Skyhold had the brilliant idea that maybe it still being there has something to do with the Herald, so you've been asked to search this quadrant first. There hasn't been much to see so far, your biggest find a barrel of nails. Useful, sure, but not exactly exciting.

And then the rift nearby crackles to life, all of a sudden. Demons spawn out of it in arcs of green light-- a half-dozen wraiths and terrors, and a despair demon, and you can see that more have arrived on the other side of the hill by the guard team, but rubble and monsters both bar your path. And instead of stopping there another wave comes immediately, and this time the creatures that are spat out are like no demon you've ever seen. The rift claps shut behind them and dissipates with a swirl of green light like smoke.
