Add Ishgard as a nation to join.

[Gilraen]

The thread is about grand companies, no starter cities.

That's the thing, though, the Companies are the standing adventurer armies of the starter cities, tasked with keeping the borders of their nations safe from Imperial incursion. Ishgard is pledged with fighting their own unique threat and doesn't have the resources to commit to that and the Garleans. Once the dravanians are put down 'for good' then they might be able to, but at that time they may as well be a starting city if they're going to go so far as also have a Company. And adding an area or two for low level quests wouldn't be so hard, we've yet to see the lands directly under Ishgard.
