Harigas (city)
"This is a city of freedom. Nothing fetters us down or binds us. Everyone is judged by their deeds, not their heritage or by who they chose to worship. If you see something that you think should be yours, seize it. If you are skilled enough then it belongs to you. It is your right to take it. That is how we have lived and how we will live, and Harigas will prosper."
