 A city of secrets and sagacity, science, of the esoteric and erudite, Hashan is led by the Seneschal and council of Regents, leaders in the intricate dance of politics and power that comprises the Court of Shadows.
-Hashan displays a tenacity to survive any hardship, its policies marked by supreme self-interest. It famously touted itself as a haven of political and cultural independence, where diverse characters of Sapience could live in harmony and community without fear of prejudice, oppression, or bigotry and where citizens were free to pursue their own interests without outside interference. For centuries, Hashan was home to [[Achaea]]'s first [[Serpent]] organisation, the [[Cult of the Serpent Lords]], as well as defunct [[Spirit Walkers]] and the disestablished [[Sect of the Black Lotus]].

 The year 688 AF saw the stirring of an ancient and unknown nexus of energy beneath Hashan. Surging from deep below, it tore the city from its roots, lifting its foundations to mysteriously float above the scarred woodlands, separating itself from the Ithmia. The wide chasm in the earth resulting from the displaced structure was named the [[Sunderlands]].

 ==Laws and Policies==
 : ''Main article: [[Laws of Hashan]]
-The Court has been known for Achaea's first complex legal system, having surpassed both ancient Ashtan and Shallam in governmental politics. The Seneschal [[Elentari]] originally wrote the comprehensive city charter. The policies of Hashan are recorded in a single, albeit large, text called the '''[[Laws_of_Hashan|Great Canon of Hashan]]''' which can be found in a bookshelf in the [[news]]room.
-Under Elentari's leadership in Hashan's early years, her constitution was widely regarded by the intelligentsia as "the finest document of its kind yet written". It was Hashan that began the trend of formally binding guilds to cities, a trend that was later followed and formalised by each city. Hashan was also lauded by [[Sarapis]] as the best organized of the city-states.
+Hashan has a tendency to despise divine mandate, seeing it as blind obedience and zealotry. Rather than follow the divine, citizens are encouraged to create themselves 'Progress' for Hashan, irrespective of morality to achieve it. These ideals are outlined in the [[Edict of Shadows]]. Hashan's legal system was the first in Achaea, having surpassed both ancient Ashtan and Shallam in governmental politics. The policies of Hashan are recorded in a single, albeit large, text called the '''[[Laws_of_Hashan|Great Canon of Hashan]]'''. Hashan operates as a democracy, with various Regents and Ministers appointed and bound by the rules of the [[Laws_of_Hashan|Great Canon of Hashan]].
