And the tall walls. And the many, many very competent soldiers. It's not an easy life out there for a girl with a pony-cart, even a very clever and resourceful one. Even with the threat from Corypheus, it's safer here, in Skyhold - especially since in an emergency, I know the tavern's going to be the best-defended building. The Inquisition likes its wine.
