It falls heavily into AsLongAsItSoundsForeign, though.[[note]]For instance, the greeting "ceádmil" takes the Irish phrase ''céad míle fáilte'' and picks the two words out of three that ''don't'' mean "welcome", so it means "a hundred thousand" instead.

Though it doesn't really work anyway, since Welsh adjectives come after the noun, not before, so it really ought to be "bleidd gwyn".[[/note]]

* TheEmpire: Nilfgaard, the southern empire that is slowly conquering its way north. Ironically, they see themselves as TheFederation and, to make things weirder, technically ''are'' one, for the empire is a federal entity of smaller kingdoms, duchies and even city-states...
