Hub / coordinatesDescriptionsLast recorded hub change
Baolan (960, 45)#71

Serene at the edge of a still lake, sunlight glittering on its roofs, Baolan resembles at a distance a giant, opulent palace. But the Forbidden Empire are masters of drama and dignity, of crafting appearance to disguise reality. Before the low walls are deep, wide ditches which no army could cross but which the city's architects have ensured cannot be seen from the approach roads. The glittering roofs are an illusion made by the royal masons, who set tiny mirrors into the buildings' tiles. And the slums in which most of the population dwell are not evident until one strays into their midst.

Trade description

Coming upon the Baolan market, one might be forgiven for believing it to be a place of light, of opulence, of heady perfume, dazzling silks, and glittering jewels; however, venture farther in, and the true nature of the place becomes apparent. Dark, dank, shabby, and with odours so pungent as to sear one's very nostril hairs, the Baolan market in which the day-to-day trade takes place is truly a decaying hole of confidence tricksters, dishonest merchants, and pickpockets.

Shingeng (771, -12)#72

Safe behind its massive walls, Shingeng stands upon the edge of the world, or so its people say. All civilisation lies to the north and east. To the south and west, they say, are only bloody hordes, who have neither manners or morals, nor any hope. Visitors report that they are welcomed with some reserve, but that once they prove that they are not entirely uncouth, the locals become more friendly, and it can be extremely pleasant to stay in this cultured, affluent city.

Recorded faction changes

Latest 100 retained faction observations, newest first. This is a bounded faction audit, not a hub-change or player/alliance-standing history. Before and after labels come from each observation.

No faction changes recorded in the retained history.

The initial import establishes a baseline. No recorded changes does not prove the faction never changed. Retained coverage may have gaps; missing values are not zero, and feed absence does not prove an in-game removal.
