About the countess
I'm Eve, also known as Countess Evelyn Houghton. In CoE I will try to bring back the classic days of mmo gaming where friends and allies can be found around every corner to help one another. Bubbly, sweet, and inspired by growth and teamwork I'm seeeking like minded individuals who desire;
- A safe place to enjoy the game regardless of their past experiences.
- Free to develop their characters whether they are pvp or pve focused.
- A strong willingness to work together for the greater good of the county.
Why Houghton?
Derived from the Old English hoh 'ridge', 'spur' (literally 'heel') + tun 'enclosure', 'settlement'. I'm personally drawn to this name as I come from the real ancestors of the Hoghton line in England. For me it's a personal reason.
In chronicles of Elyria however; the name Houghton is a symbol for an enclosure that no one sees coming. With vast tracts of flat, fertile farmland the county posses no shortage of good food and wine.
There is also access to a large mouthed river that has thick, deep access throughout to the ocean. This makes the possibility for trade is unhindered. As well as little risk of being attacked by raiders due to being within the epicenter of the kingdom itself. For toughs bold enough to venture within the mouth will be greeted by neighboring counties that have a strong focus in the defense of the realm.
With this combination of things as well as an "X" factor the name Houghton, and the county's placement was perfect for me.
