Current faction hubs

| Hub / coordinates | Descriptions | Last recorded hub change |
|---|---|---|
| Aeris (109, -340)#89 | Aeris is home to Enchantress Elissa, one of the five great mages of the Circle of Five. Legends tell that her tower has ceilings but no floors, that servants fly through the corridors, and that the Enchantress herself sits upon a throne made of clouds. Those who have visited say that such tales are fanciful, but not without some truth. Trade descriptionOn a floating platform fifty paces above the ground, the market of Aeris hangs without support above the fields of Perrigor. An unnatural stillness calms the air around the main square, but angry squalls and gusts blow through the alleys at the market's edge, and nervous merchants hurry through the streets, mindful both that they are in a place which hangs impossibly in mid air, and also of rumours that the Enchantress Elissa employs as market guards, invisible spirits who watch all. | |
| Aqua (160, -199)#84 | Home to Archmage Stendas of the Circle of Five, Aqua is an impregnable tower, guarded by high walls and enormous magics. It is said that to watch the sun set behind Aqua, as the sunlight plays across the stones and glints on the roof tiles, is to witness one of the most beautiful sights in Elgea. Trade descriptionIt is said that if one taps the walls of the tower of Aqua, the stones will ripple, and that many a visitor will find amusement in this curiosity. But the floors, too, are unnatural, and there are stories told of thieves and intruders who have been swallowed up by the floor, to be drowned in lakes of liquid stone beneath. Several floors of the tower are given over to trade, and above each doorway is the motto: “Be welcome, friend, but step lightly upon the water.” | |
| Ignis (242, -251)#87 | Ignis is the stronghold of Shamaster Maldak, one of the five great mages of the Circle of Five. A great tower overlooking the plains of Perrigor, it burns brightly like a beacon at night, calling in adepts, traders, and wanderers from the surrounding lands, who throng in the courtyards at its base each day, for trade, study, and intrigue. | |
| Tempus (222, -340)#90 | Strong and unchanging, the pale tower, ruled by Faer Smyss of the Circle of Five, rises as a single immovable spire above the surrounding forest. About its base, however, the village which serves as home to the tower's servants, guards, and visitors, is in a constant state of change, with perpetual rebuilding and demolition. Travellers report that it resembles a giant building site, rather than a town. | |
| Terra (82, -251)#88 | The granite tower ruled by Geomancer Herrolf of the Circle of Five is surrounded by a large town, inhabited by visitors, servants, apprentices, adepts, and soldiers. New arrivals swiftly spot some of the oddities of the place. It is a boon, for example, that the vegetable gardens tended by the residents bring forth fresh crops every few days, rather than every few months. Less welcome is the weather, which seems to change according to the moods of the tower's owner, and includes hails of stones, sandstorms, and fog which can, quite literally, be cut with a knife. |
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.
