[edit] Recent History
Xanadu has been a concentration of Good forces for the whole of recent history. Many Good factions, including Acta Sanctorum, The Alchemist's Guild, The Faithful, The Ivory Mark and the Ragged Philanthropists use Xanadu as their base of operations. Evil or even Neutral factions have been almost unknown in the area.
[edit] Travellers' Tips
For Good characters, Xanadu affords a reasonable degree of safety. While the Vaults of Enlightenment are certainly not safe, and hunters who find no prey in the Vaults may move on to nearby buildings, there is nevertheless a decent chance of surviving overnight here, particularly away from the Portals.
For Evil characters the reverse holds true; there are so many Good factions nearby that being hunted down or simply found accidentally within a short space of time is almost certain. The large number of Strongholds leaves relatively few hiding spots available, and several buildings are often warded against Evil, further reducing this number.
