And a bit of further explanation from Magnus, which made me laugh…
So the German servers are based upon the Empire, the Italian based upon Tilea, the French based upon Bretonnia, the Spanish based upon Estalia. We were considering basing the English servers on Albion, but we soon realised that having dozens of servers which in one way or another relate to fog and rain would be quite depressing, so we went with Dwarf and Elf names instead.
Personally, I like the notion of being able to see which language community a server belong to just by its name. Regarding the many Karak- based names, I think we will soon grow to learn these names by heart, and I further doubt that the first half of the name will be mentioned in every-day conversations. Gamers are renown for their ability to abbreviate pretty much anything.

Awesome explanation, they evidently spent awhile thinking about this 😉
(So …. we could actually invade Bretonnia ….)
Personally, I like fog and rain!!
I hope we can get used to all the Karak names. I always have to check three servers before I find mine on beta (Karak-Norn) 😛
Aw…I demand more fog and rain…it’s the English way, and gives us something else to complain about.
Oh, and too many Karak/Karag names, that could get confusing.
I imagine shortly they’ll be referred to by whatever word follows Karak or in the trendy K-Norn nomenclature.
