Betrayal to Halas, Citizenship and Moving to Halas

Wondering how to get citizenship to Halas? Looking to betray? Perhaps you are evil and want to simply live there with out betraying.

First off, where to go for citizenship or the betrayal line (from the EQ2 forums). This pretty much covers it all for the good races.

• Each of the six cities now has an "Ambassador", with the purpose tag "Change of Citizenship".  Typically this person is located near the guild registrar, unless there was already a specific place elsewhere they were located (this is the case in Kelethin, where he's on the Green Knoll).
• A citizen of that city can speak to the Ambassador to get a full and clear explanation of how to either change citizenship to an aligned city (e.g. Kelethin citizen wanting to move to Qeynos) or how to betray to an opposite alignment city (e.g. Neriak citizen wanting to betray to New Halas).   This will include appropriate warnings about what to expect in terms of spells resetting, etc. for the full betrayal.
• If a citizen is just changing citizenship to an aligned city, the Ambassador will give them their citizenship papers and send them to the Ambassador in their destination city, who will treat them appropriately (either stamp their papers and admit them right away, or in the case of pickier cities, send them on a short series of quests - the same quests that already existed for these cities).  Change of citizenship complete.
• If a citizen wants to betray, the Ambassador may be more or less helpful depending on the appropriate behavior for the city (don't expect the Neriak ambassador to be exactly happy, for example) but will in some appropriate manner direct you to the first step of the betrayal quest (same quest that already exists) so you can begin the process.
• Those NPCs who begin the betrayal quests currently will no longer offer you the betrayal quests after GU56 unless you have first spoken to the Ambassador and know what you're getting in for.  This should prevent people from accidentally picking up those quests.
• The one exception here is in Neriak where you can still save the boy being beaten up, and he'll now just tell you information about the Ambassador.  If you do wish to betray, after speaking to her you will now be sent to the priest who was previously the second step of the betrayal.

For evil characters- Now the other alternative is to have an alt buy a house in Halas and share that housing. You still need a house for your broker boxes and have to pay for it but you can access that through the alts house. Or you can betray to Halas, buy a house and betray back. For instance you want to have a Halas house and still want to keep your class (IE; Inquisitor, Assassin, etc..). You won't lose your house but you will not be able to recall to that city. This is a minor inconvenience with the new travel system though. This can be done by anyone really, keep in mind some cities have guards that may cause problems- Halas and Gorowyn do not.
