Dwilight
East Continent

And further discussion on religiosity and free speech belongs in the Background forum.

Dwilight is in fact the only place I find intolerable and cannot gather any sort of energy to build a character in, even though the SMA is very enticing.  Just not into the whole SA totalitarian thing (not saying it's unjustified, just that it completely wrecks the environment for me).

Come fight them in Caerwyn! Probably one of the last remaining chances before they keep killing them pagan nations

I'm not sure what you mean by this.

There is so much more to Dwilight than SA. In Maroccidens, for example, SA is hardly even a factor. As in, it is occasionally discussed when talking about what the crazy northern realms are doing. And that's basically it. They have no real reach in Maroccidens.

The south is generally SA-free, if that's what is desired. Terran and D'Hara might have some elements, but they don't seem at all noticeable. Asylon has that one guy I think as well, who is likewise not exactly that much of a factor in terms of religion.

I'm with you on that. I'm not really bothered either way about Sanguis Astroism but I haven't really enjoyed any of my time in Dwilight. I've given up on it.

I don't get this, if you don't like SA well it would be fun to play in order to fight that religion. There is a huge conflict between SA and an opposite coalition right now so if you don't like the 3 Stars i's the right time to play in Dwilight not to leave it!

Colonies for me (so we get 4 votes now!)

All Islands I've been on (which is all of them) have had there fun times and their dull time, but due to the longer turn times on the Colonies it means much more time for politics and plotting and planning, and getting to know the other characters more.

Outer Tilog will always be a very special place, even if it's not to some peoples' liking.
WARNING: Outer Tilog is different...

South East Island was honestly the most enjoyable.

Come to think of it, how come those continents aren't included? They were actual continents, and maybe some people did like them best, and no current continents compare. But I guess the poll was asking for favorite current continent.

I'm actually seriously considering a return to Dwilight, as I may not have given it a fair shake as my experiences were in Astrum about a year ago.

There just seemed to be this huge feeling of in-group/out-group.  Very different from how I found Arcachon to be, but it was probably Arcachon that was the exception rather then the rule as there they really tried to explain to me what was going on and why.

You didn't try Morek. We have a Guild devoted to nobles new to the continent, and you merely have to ask to hear what happened and why. Be prepared, though, you might get more than you asked for!
