With the Darkspawn issues in Orlais showing no sign of being resolved, there was no doubt that the Forsaken needed other branches of income. Kirkwall had been only a trip through the mirror away.
It seemed it was full up, though. Something called the Coterie and dwarves from the Carta, mercenaries between them. Katrien had no interest in a drawn out fight, so she’d moved on almost immediately. On foot, unfortunately.
You just couldn’t get a good feel for a place’s character otherwise. Kirkwall’s was … Dubious, to be sure. Her spirit passenger felt uneasy there, and she was glad it wouldn’t be a second home to her anytime soon. Now she stood at the door to a little inn some ways outside the city, looking up at the sign.
Back Water. Not Backwater. What kind of water came off a back? None for drinking, surely. It was a pleasant summer night and this place didn’t seem too crowded. Still musing on the oddity of the establishment’s name, Katrien let herself in.
