○ From Hartbraider Hannington, To Aster "here's the location for your new base. Reach out to me via the code word 'Crib, as in Welcome to my new crib' and I will have an agent sent over to begin shaping to your needs. I hope this considers our debt paid" This also provides the location for the Tenders
