Demotivation

Well here we have it, the result of a bit too much free time and someone showing the team, http://despair.com/. This list of quirky themes and ideas for each nation are obviously not terribly flattering, but that's alright since if anyone should laugh at the kingdoms our characters call home it's us players! For the sake of fairness we've attributed one poster per nation, (though for those we knew really well we had quite a list) so that everyone is painted in an equally unflattering light.

Unfortunately the lists are hardly complete, not because we like some places better but actually because the team hasn't been everywhere, still I'm sure someone won't let that state last forever. ;)

Hope you get a chuckle out of it. Without further ado:
