Well, my reasons for not liking the word 'orient' is because it was once used to refer to me in a derogatory way when I was younger, so I grew up not liking that term. I hope that provides enough explanation as to what I was talking about. But, I don't understand your 'North' statement. 

I played as Lann, Vella, and Fiona. No matter how hard I tried to like the game, I could never play it long enough to really get into it.
