Well okay. Point taken. But your "ar"s there still make up less than 5% of the total text (and two of them don't even sound the same because they're modified by 'e's and the "ar" in lizards and wizards and regular and popular is pronounced more like "er.", at least in my accent etc. etc.) But there are only 11 syllables in the five kingdom names and so over 1/3 of them are "ar". And they're all the same phoneme, not just the same two letters. Also your

I'm afraid I only pre-ordered recently so I'm not up on the lore. Are these Kingdom's supposed to be particularly distinct?
