Guild Origin

- Why did Karhea start this guild?

After speaking with many players, and observing how other guilds were run, Karhea saw that some are good and some are bad. He wanted to try the things that were good, and avoid the things that were bad, and gave that a lot of thought.

Then one day he realized the only thing that really matters is how people treat each other. Spiral Knights is a game, and the rest is foolishness. People come here to play for many different reasons. If people will agree to act like good human beings, then nothing else really matters.

Some guilds only care how strong your weapons are, and some do not seem to care about anything at all. Karhea decided to start a guild where it does not matter how strong you are today. He knows that with time and help, anyone can grow stronger. Karhea saw that what matters is how you treat other people, so that all players can have fun, and feel safe to make mistakes. Because only people who make mistakes get stronger. This guild is about allowing people to get stronger.

The guild name, Houyhnhnm, is borrowed from the Houyhnhnm encountered by the character, Lemuel Gulliver, in his travels through the book, Gulliver's Travels written by Jonathan Swift. Gulliver learned much about the nature of mankind from the Houyhnhnm, and we take away that any man may aspire to greatness, and any man may fall. The Houyhnhnm represent an ideal character that can be sought after by all, but few if any will achieve.

Success is found in perfecting the journey, not arriving at the destination.

Guild Summary

- What is the purpose of the guild's existence?

This guild is predicated on the concept that its members will aspire to be, or to become, good quality players. A Good Quality Player, is something we expect ourselves, and our guild mates to work at. These principles will carry over into other games, and into real life.

The point, is we aspire to become greater than we are, but never forget our humble roots.

There is only one founding guild master, and that is Karhea. Karhea may appoint an acting guild master if he goes on extended leave, but he will always keep an eye on things. Nobody knows how he does it, but he does.

Karhea is too old to be bothered with all of it, so he expects each member of this guild is responsible for their actions, and to participate in self-regulating this guild. The rules are simple, if you take the time to understand them.

Just try to be a human being, not a Yahoo.
