From what I can tell in my time playing, when claiming a Location the East Empire Guards will only set up banners/guards at the same place you exited the location after using a Relic. (For the first time only)
It's one of those pet peeves that really bother me, as in certain locations you might have to backtrack through an entire dungeon just so that you can get Guards to spawn where it would make more sense or what would generally look better.
If you clear a Location with a lot of Load Doors such as Dead Crone Rock it feels like the type of location that should have Guards at each entrance.
On the flip side, an issue I experienced in a previous playthrough was Silent Hills Camp, you can put a Relic inside the Chest at the forge, and Claim the location even though it's an exterior. It'll result in guards spawning inside, but not outside the load doors.
Overall I kinda just wish for more Player control over that aspect.
