Just to correct a slight mistake in your post, you named the Serpentlords as one of the guilds that claim Astan as theirs. We tend to see ourselves neutral on these matters, ofcourse our independant members are free to choose a city if they like.
But this doesn't imply that our guild as a whole has shares those ideas. The only ground we claim as ours is the village of Hashan.
