Actually, that's true--as did the Keepers in general (the Thief faction,
that is). This actually works on one level--they're cynical/worldly/new
world, the other factions are traditional/duty bound/old world. I can live
with that, but not with a random cast of jet-setting guards hailing
variously (by their accents) from Cornwall ("arr"), Linconshire ("eee bah
gum"), and Silicon Valley ("eeww").

BTW, I had to look seppo up on urbandictionary.com. It's a new one to me. ;P
