Question Title:	Thistledown Defence Monument
Category:	Backstory
Question:	I read that there is a monument for the people that defended BZ's crystal so heroicly on Thistledown. If there can be no server divergence, how can there be a monument on Thistledown, and not on any other server. Or is the monument on all servers?

Answer:	A lot of game development is finding tricks; things you can do to make the code do something it wasn't originaly designed to do, or using some other piece of code to make an unrelated function work. The Thistledown monument is exactly that, a trick - technically the monument exists on all worlds, but is only spawned on thistledown.
