Come to Hashan. We have Darkness.
And Binward. No one can compare to Binward.
It's natural to interpret every response as being biased toward its own organization. But depending on what is highlighted and the suggestions people make, it's still informative and helps us make a better choice.
Hashan is a city that houses countless different world views, loose affiliations, and conflicting beliefs. It's a more of a true democracy, in that citizens directly vote to influence policy changes and decisions. The Regency seems to handle the business end of that, sorting through the citizen stance and coming up with a policy that best represents the citizens' input while constantly trying to push a central narrative.
Hashan is the city of Progress, but what Progress means has been redefined over time. Currently, the basic gist of Progress is the idea that mortals don't need to be told what to do or where to go or how to move forward. Instead, we can find our own way through this world by coming together and putting differences aside. We use mortal minds to solve mortal problems and cater to no Divine. Our Patron is not "our God." Our Patron is a tool. Twilight's views loosely mesh with Hashan's insistence on independence from the Divine, but in a world where literally all of your enemies have at least Someone from the Pantheon on their team, we'd be dicked if we didn't also have A Guy, you know?
So if you consider Hashan the city of "mortal progress," you pretty much hit the nail on the head. A very good example of this is our new street sweeper Swarley and his pal Binward.
Hashan had a homeless problem. Hashan worked hard to fix the homeless problem. Now there's no homeless people rummaging through our streets to survive, so there was TRASH EVERYWHERE. It was like sixteen jesters high on gleam and Belladonna's piss just went spraying banana peels in every damn corner. Walking from Gatehouse to Crossroads would take four minutes because you'd slip on banana peels 12,623.4 and 1/5 times on the way. Obviously we need to pray to our God to guide our path to help our trash problem just like He helped our homeless problem!
Oh wait, we did that. We can do this, too. Now one of the homeless dudes, Swarley, has a job as a street sweeper. Binward, the arm-chompingest humgii that ever accidentally chomped citizens' arms, is attached to Swarley's cart, and they roam the streets sucking up garbage. Mhaldor would have killed the homeless. Targossas would have prayed over them. Ashtan would have fed them to the Chaos Court. Cyrene would spend two decades voting to decide if there was even a homeless problem. Eleusis would... well they'd fit right there.
Hashan solved their homeless related problems by inventing the Roomba.
Oh but wait, that obviously gets expensive right? Swarley's gonna need help, and there are tons more homeless who still need jobs and that means money. Where we gonna get that money?
Bitch. It keeps banana peels off the streets. We're all willing to chip into this communal chest that pays people to keep the city up to snuff. I, personally, donated enough to fund Swarley for ~280 IRL days. Instead of putting my gold in the city coffers and leaving it up to the Regency to divvy it out, I get to choose where my gold donation goes, and godsdamnt I vote Binward has Hashan's mascot.
So, thoughtful answer in a tl;dr:
Hashan is a Democratic, I don't need no Man, Independent woman who invented the Roomba.
Oh, and we have Binward.
Disappearing from Achaea for now. See you, space cowboy.
smileyface#8048 if you wanna chat.
EDIT: Nvm, figured it out after reading the help scroll.
I could be just completely missing it, but I could find anything in the news or wiki, either.
Oh, this is what happened when I drank it:
"You feel your temper sharpen."
I don't see any increase in stats, no new defences that I can tell. By the word of temper, kind of assume battlerage increase?
That feels pretty bad knowing I spent 10k on a debuff, but that leads me to believe not all flasks are debuffs?
Otherwise I suppose it's a gag purchase to 'perform force drink flask' on a victim? Rip.
One turns all says/whispers/etc into YELLs (blocks usage of raido/duanathar, etc)
One teleports you into a greathunt cave, which can potentially insta-gib you.
One removes the ability to gain battlerage beyond 13ish. (It's 'working as intended'.)
Another causes you to gain 2~3 celerity, at the cost of taking 1~15% of your health every room you move (on a sliding scale of how much celerity you've used already).
One will make you gain/lose health/mana at random. In reality, I think it might just be 'lose' and my regen is outpacing it.
Should you ever by Seasone flasks from her for 10k per? Absolutely not. Just spend 500k~ish gold to get a Bakios card. Infinitely just as useful. (I know I've used my bakios card more than 200 times at this point)
The rage one increases rage gain by 50% or so but the rage timer is down to 1-1.5s. Might be useful in groups if you stagger everyones attacks so you're always gaining, I could also keep it up with shaman swiftcurse.
The health loss one also gives you health regen. So it will tick tick slowly down and then bump up 5-10% or so.
There is one that makes you fly (consumes no balance and is instant) but then you cannot land manually until it wears off.
Disappearing from Achaea for now. See you, space cowboy.

Glad to hear it though
How my brain thinks the conversation will go:
To Makarios: Hi, might I please have a refund on my rondel so I can place it in some scalemail? Thank you.
To Meriet: No, and just for asking you're now permanently banned you selfish somethingorother, etc etc.
Which I know is entirely silly, but brains be fearing what they fear. 😅
I'll try and steel myself and send something in in a little bit though.
Guy's got a wicked sense of humor, too.
