On top of that, you add nearly a decade of brainless arguments about which faction is 'best'.
The basic theme of the 'joke' is that Harlaus is a loser who hoards butter and would rather sit around admiring his stash of dairy products than be a King. It was a pretty funny joke video made up of in-game footage, mixed with artistic embellishments (like a treasure hoard of butter in King Harlaus' vault). Then there was a video that was put up on the internet some time ago. Since only about 1.3% of the people on Steam who have this game (see global achievements) have ever finished it to the end, we have hordes of players who know little else about the game. Everyone sees them, everyone meets King Harlaus, etc. The way the game is designed, Swadia is right smack-dab in the middle of the map.
