'''The Crossroads''' is Hashan's very centre, the most common place for gathering and a useful reference point. It is also home of [[Gred]], the Hashan humgii. '''Founder's Monument''' north of the crossroads features statues as well of the city's mortal founders. The '''[[Dome of the Triad]]''' stands tall as a tribute to the divine [[Triad of the Night]] which used to patron Hashan in its early years, and the old '''Coliseum''' may be visited where gladiators used to spar. East of the Dome is Hashan's mysterious crumbling temple where dangerous [[spectre|spectres]] once roamed free. The [[Disc of the Nocturne]] was once housed here, but was taken by [[Tavarius]] and was later used to cause the time period known as the [[Eternal Night]].

==Facilities==
Most of Hashan's facilities are located near the government buildings and the city's central Crossroads. '''The Postal Office of Hashan''', '''the People's [[Bank]] of Hashan''', and the Court's citizen-only stables are found off these crossroads. '''The Literary Archives of Hashan''' house the [[newsroom]] in '''the Seneschal's Complex'''. Hashan's public library [[The Citadel of Prosperity]] is a large, multi-floored tower with a deep history of ownership. Hashan's city arena, the '''[[Stadia Coronae]]''' (Crown Stadium), is located in the southeastern portion of the city.

===Shopping===
Hashan provides three main shopping "areas" which harbour a large variety of goods and supplies. '''The Bazaar''' is Hashan's primary market located in the northern half of the city, holding the Court's commodity shop and unique letter-making services. Running the entire width of Hashan is '''Serpentis Boulevard''' with shops that line both sides of the street, the location of one of Achaea's three major candle shops for sealing letters with a [[Heraldic Arms|Coat of Arms]]. The third shopping area is '''Hashan's Central Plaza''', which can be found in the Old Quarter near the southwest corner of the city.
The [[Slaughterhouse of Hashan|slaughterhouse]] and fishing shed are visited off Cibus road, and Hashan's blacksmith [[Modron]] opens his blacksmith's shop for the use of all citizens and visitors. [[Zaertum]], the locksmith, offers a key-copying service.

Hashan is proud to be the first brewers of [[Sapience]]'s more [[Hashan Drinks|unique drinks]], provided in the '''[[Eventide Alehouse]]''' off of western Serpentis Boulevard. Home of the original absinthe and serving Sapience's harder liquors that [[Berford]] brews, the Alehouse also sports a new restaurant that serves an eclectic variety of food. [[Harris]], a local publican, spends all his time here probably to watch [[Indira]] dance with her snake. Should bourbon, cognac, apricot brandy, or Hashan's own special Darkbrew not tickle anyone's fancy, other non-alcoholic drinks are served as well.
