Halas would only be useful as a background fortress when you're being attacked from all sides. Freeport would give you access to all surrounding areas in a quick fashion. When talking about usefulness, one might consider that Freeport is closest to the boats to almost all continents. It is closely tied to Neriak, allowing the owner to import people quickly from other war zones to gather and attack Neriak and defend it (also a great fortress). It's a great place to hold battle, and city faction (if applied to bad races) can be dealt with quickly enough. Some races would never be able to claim and hold Oggok if there were a deity faction. Freeport would be a bitch to hold onto, but it would be a great station of attack. It's the only city that has its own major dock.
