[Discuss] Changing focus from Realm to Duchy

[Timothy Collett]

Kerry Seifert made an excellent point: the realm-centric attitude is  
instilled in new players from *before they even join their realm*!

Now, what's the obvious way to change this?

Don't make new players choose a realm to start in.  Make them choose  
a *Duchy* to start in.  Obviously, it should be indicated to them  
what realm the duchy is in, and something about the atmosphere there,  
but if they're choosing a Duchy, not only will they have more say in  
where they begin, they'll be thinking in terms of Duchies rather than  
Realms right from the start.
