I find it really funny to a degree how much fuss was being made about liberating Ala Mhigo and then it just becomes a isolated corner with absolutely no infrastructure, marketboard, retainer bells or anything else except of being a "go talk to Lyse or Raubahn Point" in the Game.

It is almost as if the entire Town, serves as a place of Exile for unwanted Characters that are too stubborn to die. Maybe that's where all the Salt from the Area truly comes from.
