Lore

The story of the County of Kernothia began hundreds of years ago, before the plague killed most of the inhabitants of Elyria. Kernothia was a small county on the coast of Myrkland, the royal Duchy of Tryggr, which was already known for its university and agriculture. The jewel of the county was its capital Thalasia, which stretched over several vital rivers and was the center of coastal trade for the duchy and its people. But our story would not be complete without the County of Aranmano, which borders directly on Kernothia. The two counties had a long and good relationship for the past several decades.

As the plague befall Elyria and decimated the population, the friendship of the two counties was put to the test. Desperate, both houses tried to help each other, but even by many heroic actions, hardly anyone was spared the ravages of the plague. Both noble houses were almost extinguished. When a remedy for the plague was found in distant lands, only two members of the once great aristocratic houses remained alive. The survivors of the Bullgardt and Goldenfeld families got together and and after a long time they managed to rebuild the two counties together. This resulted in such a close bond between the two houses that it was decided to make one county out of the two, which was to be ruled from here on out by the line of the Goldenfelds. The Bullgardt family wanted to focus more on their animal husbandry and the Goldenfeld family showed more interest in leadership and the future of the new county.

In the present, the wise and kind-hearted King of Tryggr Darkh Kilmaar, whose family ruled the kingdom since the beginning of time, proclaimed a great feast to celebrate the Longest Night in a feast fitting for the Virtori. All noblemen of the kingdom were invited to this festival, thus also the present count Gregor Goldenfeld of Kernothia. So it happened, that he met the Princess Emma Kilmaar, sister of the king, and immediately fell head over heels in love with her. After a long courtship, many glittering gifts and exciting rare objects, the king gave his consent for Count Gregor to marry his beloved sister.

There was a big wedding to which nobles and Commoners alike from all over the kingdom were invited. In keeping with tradition, the festivities lasted a week in which a lot was eaten, drunk, sung and played. A celebration like this has not been seen in the capitol of Tryggr for a long time. And from that moment on, the houses Kilmaar and Goldenfeld were bonded to each other in perpetuity.

There was a big wedding to which nobles and Commoners alike from all over the kingdom were invited. In keeping with Kypiq tradition, the festivities lasted a week in which a lot was eaten, drunk, sung and played. A celebration like this has not been seen in the forests of the Kypiq for a long time. And from that moment on, the houses Kilmaar and Goldenfeld were bonded to each other in perpetuity.

Description

The name of the county, Kernothia, derives from the name of the Celtic god of nature, Cernunnos. Accordingly, the focus of the county is on agriculture and animal husbandry.

In Kernothia reside the guilds Reiche Ernte for agriculture and Edelspan for wood processing. Also of importance shall be trade and the research in the University of the capital through the Opus Alchemica.

Depending on the biome in which the county will be, other crafts are also present to make the best use of existing resources and to create and maintain a thriving economy. We would like to be by a river or lake or maybe even by the sea, but we will describe the actual situation here as soon as we know more about it.

The most important thing for us is to build a nice and friendly community, because we want to play together and build a strong county together. Our loyalty lies very strongly with the Kingdom of Tryggr and the Duchy of Myrkland. We will support both in the event of war, be it through economic means or soldiers for the army.

The community in the Duchy of Myrkland is the oldest German-speaking community in Elyria and we are a proud part of it. That is why we have adopted their values, namely, to promise nothing that we cannot keep and that we want to provide a friendly gaming atmosphere. Role play is welcomed and supported by us. If you do not want to participate in it, do not disturb the role play of others.

We were able to select our desired county in Tryggr(K3) and there in the Royal Duchy of Myrkland(8)

The gate to the west

The county of Kernothia is also the best place to get your goods from the east to the west coast of the continent. The long rivers between east and west are ideal for this, with only a small stretch of land to bridge, you may end up in the county of Dore in the Duchy of Turadh on the west coast of the continent.

Schöner Post :D Freu mich schon, mit euch zusammen zu spielen

Nice Post :D Looking forward to play with you

Wir freuen uns die Bürger aus der Stadt Runghold unter Bürgermeister Roqi bei uns in der Grafschaft willkommen zu heißen.

We look forward to welcoming the citizens of the town of Runghold under Mayor Roqi in our county.

Nice project!, i will be happy to collaborate with you!

I'm proud to say there will be a bookstore of the Pyrros Company with a local newspaper at Thalasia, and - most important - a spirit of kindness for all pilgrims on its way to the place where the Order of the Flame of Hope nutrifies the ever burning fire.

Ich bin stolz darauf, sagen zu können, dass es in Thalasia eine Buchhandlung des Pyrros Verlages mit einer lokalen Zeitung geben wird, und - was am wichtigsten ist - ein Geist der Freundlichkeit für alle Pilger auf dem Weg zu dem Ort, an dem der Orden der Hoffnungsflamme ein immer brennendes Feuer nährt

Freu mich schon mit euch in Kernothia zusammen zu spielen :D

I'm looking forward to play with you lot together in Kernothia :D

A very, very nice community. It will be so fun, when we finally can start with the game! :)

It is already fun since we started to RP on our discord server with characters that could be ancestors of our ingame characters :)

Macht schon Spaß seit wir auf unserem Discord Server angefangen haben Charaktere zu spielen, die die Vorfahren unserer Ingamecharaktere sein könnten :)

Jahresrückblick 2018

Das Jahr 2018 brachte viele Veränderungen mit sich, vor allem für die InGame Familie Goldenfeld. Am Anfang waren wir nur zwei Leute, wuchsen dann aber rasch an mit RL Freunden und Familie. Mit so vielen neuen Leuten gab es auch immer mehr Interesse an verschiedenen Berufen und Richtungen. Die Sorge, dass wir nicht mehr genug Platz in Middenstedt hätten, um all diese Interessen abzudecken, führte dazu, dass wir die Stadt Sternenhain gründeten. Diese wuchs wiederum schneller, als wir uns dies je erträumt hätten. Das gekoppelt mit vielen neuen Freunden, die wir über die Jahre in CoE kennen gelernt haben, führte dazu, dass wir einen Weg gesucht haben wie wir alle am besten gemeinsam spielen könnten. Mitte des Jahres war es dann soweit, nach langen Besprechungen und noch längeren Debatten über Namen, wurde die Grafschaft Kernothia mit der Hauptstadt Thalasia gegründet. Sie beinhaltet mittlerweile 40 Bewohner, 3 Städte und diverse Gilden und Schulen.

Mitte des Jahres fand in ganz Elyria das “Searing Plague“ Event statt. Während des Events kam die Gemeinschaft aus Avaland zusammen und gemeinsam schafften wir es viele unserer Bürger zu heilen. Später als es klar wurde, dass die Seuche deutlich hartnäckiger war als gedacht, vereinte sich ganz Nirath und gemeinsam konnten wir einen Sieg, wenn auch knapp, herbeiführen. Das beste was aus dem Event hervorgekommen ist, waren nicht die Pakete oder die ingame Belohnung, sondern das die Community mal wieder aufgeweckt wurde und gemeinsam ihre erste wirkliche Herausforderung angegangen ist.

Nachdem sich die meisten Königreiche von Selene auf Karte B einigen konnten, fiel es den Herzögen zu sich mit ihren Communities auf ein ansprechendes Herzogtum zu einigen. Für uns standen in Königreich 3 die Kypiq und Waerd zur Auswahl. Nach langer Debatte konnten wir uns auf das nördlichste Waerd Herzogtum einigen, da dies der kleinste gemeinsame Nenner war. Doch hier endet unsere Geschichte nicht, denn nach einigen Wochen und hitzigen Debatten, wurde doch entschlossen, dass die Kypiq und ihre Region um einiges besser für uns wären. Insbesondere, wenn man an die Zukunft denkt und potentielle neue Spieler. Hier hofft unsere Grafschaft, die nun eine Doppelgrafschaft ist, sich an der Küste niederzulassen. Aber genau werden wir erst bei der Domain and Settlement Selection wissen wo wir wirklich landen werden.

Über das letzte Jahr hinweg haben sich mittlerweile einige Siedlungen in Kernothia eingefunden.

• Thalasia - Die Hauptstadt der Grafschaft, will ihren Fokus auf Nahrungsgewinnung, Bildung und Handel legen.
• Richard Talbots Siedlung - Hier möchte Bürgermeister Talbot noch bis zur Domain and Settlement Selection abwarten um konkrete Ziele zu definieren. Wobei die Tendenz richtung Bergbau geht.
• Runghold - Hier möchte Bürgermeister Roqi noch bis zur Domain and Settlement Selection abwarten um konkrete Ziele zu definieren. Aber Wunsch wäre es einen Handelsort zu erschaffen wo auch eigene, seltene Waren hergestellt werden.

Bei der Gründung von Kernothia waren bereits drei Organisationen vorhanden, welche auch einen starken Einfluss auf das Bild von Kernothia genommen haben. Mit dem Sale von SBS im November hielt die Grafschaft auch ein Event ab, bei dem neue Gilden eine Gildenhalle gewinnen konnten. Hierdurch wollten wir Neueinsteigern die Chance bieten bei Beginn des Spiels leichter Fuß fassen zu können. Durch das rege Interesse an unserer Verlosung haben wir auch gleich noch Gilden hinzu gewonnen.

• Edelspan - Gilde für Holzverarbeitung
• Grex Sonum - eine Gilde für Barden jeglicher Art.
• Opus Alchemica - Die Universität von Kernothia, mit einem breit gefächerten Angebot unter anderem Alchemie, Lederverarbeitung, Bardenkunst und Schriftkunde
• Reiche Ernte - Gilde für die Gewinnung von Lebensmitteln; angepasst an das Biom und die Kultur

Die Menschen sind natürlich das was unsere Gemeinschaft ausmacht. Hier haben wir über das Jahr viele nette Leute dazu gewonnen. Viele mit verschiedenen Interessen und Anliegen. Es wird weiterhin unser Ziel sein es jedem zu ermöglichen seine oder ihre Träume und Ideen zu verwirklichen.

Vor Kurzem haben wir auf dem Grafschaftsdiscord ein kleines Rollenspiel angefangen was uns in eine Zeit vor KoE bringt, also zu unseren Großeltern und in der Stadt Thalasia spielt. Bisher hat das Spiel bei vielen Leuten Anspruch gefunden und jeder ist herzlich dazu eingeladen daran teilzunehmen.

Mit der Domain and Settlement Selection im Januar wird es endlich Klarheit geben wo wir genau landen werden, wobei es momentan stark nach Kypiq aussieht. Nachdem wir endlich einen Heimatort gefunden haben werden, kann unsere Community endlich anfangen konkrete Pläne zu machen und zu rekrutieren. Bis dahin warten wir alle gespannt was die Zukunft für Kernothia und CoE bereithält.

Auf eine erfolgreiche Zukunft und viel Erfolg im Jahr 2019. Die Grafschaft Kernothia wünscht euch besinnliche Feiertage und einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr!

The year in review 2018

The year 2018 brought many changes, especially for the InGame Goldenfeld family. In the beginning we were only two people, but then grew quickly with RL friends and family. With so many new people, there was also more and more interest in different professions and directions. The concern that we would not have enough space in Middenstedt to cover all these interests led us to found the city of Sternenhain. This, in turn, grew faster than we ever dreamed it would. Coupled with many new friends we've met over the years in CoE, we've come up with a way we all could best play together. In the middle of the year it was time, after long discussions and even longer debates about names, the county of Kernothia was founded with the capital Thalasia. It now has 40 residents, 3 cities and various guilds and schools.

In the middle of the year, the "Searing Plague" event took place throughout Elyria. During the event, the community of Avaland came together and together we managed to cure many of our citizens. Later, when it became clear that the plague was much more persistent than expected, all of Nirath united and together we were able to bring about a victory, albeit scarcely. The best thing that came out of the event was not the packages or the in-game reward, but that the community was awakened again and together their first real challenge was addressed.

After most kingdoms of Selene agreed on Map B, the Dukes came to agree with their communities on an appealing duchy. For us, Kypiq and Waerd were available in Kingdom 3. After a long debate, we were able to agree on the northernmost Waerd duchy, as this was the lowest common denominator. But here our story does not end, because after a few weeks and heated debates, it was decided that the Kypiq and their region would be a lot better for us. Especially if you think about the future and potential new players. Here our county, now a dual county, hopes to settle on the coast. But we will only know exactly where we are going to land at the Domain and Settlement Selection.

Over the last year, some settlements have now arrived in Kernothia.

• Thalasia - The capital of the county, wants to focus on food production, education and trade.
• Richard Talbot's settlement - Mayor Talbot would like to wait until the domain and settlement selection to define concrete goals. The trend is mining.
• Runghold - Mayor Roqi wants to wait until the domain and settlement selection to define concrete goals. But desire would be to create a trading place where also own, rare goods are produced.

When Kernothia was founded, there were already three organizations that also had a strong influence on the image of Kernothia. With the sale of SBS in November, the county also held an event where new guilds could win a guild hall. We wanted to give newcomers the chance to gain a foothold at the beginning of the game. Due to the lively interest in our raffle we have also added guilds.

• Edelspan - guild for wood processing
• Grex Sonum - a guild for bards of all kinds.
• Opus Alchemica - The University of Kernothia, with a wide range of services including Alchemy, Leatherworking, Bardwork and Writing
• Reiche Ernte - guild for food production; adapted to the biome and the culture

Of course, people are what our community is about. Here we have gained many nice people over the year. Many with different interests and concerns. It will continue to be our goal to enable everyone to realize his or her dreams and ideas.

We recently started a small RPG on the County Discord, taking us back to a time before KoE, playing with our grandparents and in the city of Thalasia. So far, the game has been claimed by many people and everyone is invited to participate.

With the Domain and Settlement Selection in January, it will finally be clear where we will land exactly, which currently looks very much like Kypiq. Once we have finally found a home, our community can finally start making and recruiting concrete plans. Until then we are all looking forward to seeing what the future holds for Kernothia and CoE.

For a successful future and good luck in 2019. The County of Kernothia wishes you happy holidays and a happy new year!

Sehr schönes write-up zu 2018! Freue mich schon auf das was uns 2019 in Kernothia so gemeinsam erwartet! :)
