== Notes ==
* There is a small unmarked cave south of the Highgrove Inquisition Camp: when following the path through Alphonse's Passage west from the Drakon's Rise Inquisition Camp, it is visible in the bend due south of the Highgrove Inquisition Camp. The cave has frozen bodies hanging from the ceiling, weapons scattered on the ground, a pyramid shaped box with a note that says "DON'T TOUCH MY PYRAMID" and a loot chest (see gallery below).
== Trivia ==
* In French, "Emprise du Lion" translates to the "Lion's Grip".
* When the Inquisitor speaks with Scout Harding on arrival, one of the dialog options has them saying, "Here I come to save the day." which is the signature phrase of Mighty Mouse.
* Dorian says that Emprise du Lion reminds him of the High Reaches, a mountain range in Tevinter Imperium near Minrathous - "but with more snow."
== Bugs ==
* The Veilfire glyph may be rendered inside of the cave wall and not visible, but can still be interacted with. 
* Southwest of the Tower Inquisition Camp there is an icon of a locked door next to a tower corresponding to the locked door underground at Valeska's Watch. This icon may not correctly disappear from the map after the door is opened.
