Sounds like a plan yeah. Going back to the (6, 4) quadrant, that's 6th column, bottom row, take a look at the attached map. I manually added a second white square for a possible town.
The big town right above our rightmost town is La Vie Boheme and they look fairly pacific. After looking at many of their highest level people, none of them have the sort of crazy "Level 25, Duel 35" kind of look. Some of them have one level more in duel, but not much more. Then the square dot of a town at the bottom is a town called Rage. While at first it made me nervous, with 12 people, but all but 2 of them are marked as banned right now, so they wouldn't be a threat. Would possibly want to keep an eye on it in case if becomes a ghost town. At 2100 points, it would be a steal.
Anyway, what do you think of those locations? They extend a bit diagonally, allowing us a bit more reach...
