My GC is Twin Adder and i have FC house in the Lavender Beds.
I can demand serpent officer at the entry point of my ward to leave residential distinct and he transfers me to the Old Gridana (ferry skiper there transfers to the south of Central Shroud).
I just bought private house in the Mist and tried to do the same thing to go to Limsa Lomimsa... and failed. There is no Malestorm officer at the entry point, i found one in another place - near docks (ship icon on the map) but he doesn't want to transfer me.
Why it happens? It's a special property of Lavender Bend or i should be a Malestorm officer to have such possibility in the Mist?
