I mean, how do you pronounce Champagne.
I'm French, and would pronounce it Mar-ee-NYON
(with a nasal ON in the end, but there's no English word that has this sound AFAIK)

Antway - the Marignon nation looks rather Spanish to me (with the Spanish Inquisition and all). Hey, in DomI Marignon was located in Catalogne when using the "Europa" map, IIRC.

Hey Phil, Marignon isn't really pronounced "Marinion", you forgot our (I'm French too) nasal "gn".
In fact only Frenchmen can pronounce it
Arco definitely is "arkoskefalè", R'lyeh should NOT EVER be pronounced .
I suppose the Norse nations should be pronounced as in German ;
Vanheim => Fan-haïm ?
Jotunheim => Iotoun-haïm ?
Some norsemen here ?

I would say also that Marignon is a twist on Marignan, so is a reference to the France of Henry IV. But thats perhaps my imagination.


Pocus, French too.
