Housing (Rules)

Depending upon availability and activity, we have room to "link" other player homes to our town with our portal add-on. Which homes you can use, and where they can be linked is included in these pages. Our primary goal is to keep the immersion of the region, so player homes are expected to match the region, be appropriate for your character's position and be fully decorated. We will not link a home until the build is complete.

Acceptable Homes

Homes with courtyards such as Autumn's Gate and Old Mistveil Manor may not be linked to doors inside other buildings as going from an internal door to a courtyard would ruin the immersion. Home with courtyards can only be linked to gates placed in the outer walls of the village.

Name	Connection	Requirement
Old Mistveil Manor	External Portal Required
Autumn's Gate	External Portal
Grymharth's Woe	External or Internal Portal
Snowmelt Suite	Internal Portal
The Rosy Lion	Internal Portal
Captain Margaux Place	Internal Portal	Needs the walls covered to match the interior of the building it is linked to
Hakkvild's Hall	Needs special cave portal	Has a weird cave entrance and we only have so many of those available.
Exorcised Coven Cottage	Need special external portal	Needs a special portal as well as changes to trees and external area

Adding: Rivenspire, Gardner House, Forgemaster Falls, Forsaken Stronghold, Hammerdeath Bungalow, Mournmouth Keep,

Approval Process

If your home is already decorated and you want us to look at it then open a ticket and we'll set up some time to review it. If you are just exploring options, you are also encouraged to open a ticket and ask about ideas and options, as our build team is also available when a ticket is opened. Please include the following information:

ESO Account Name

Name of House

Who is this home for and why is it appropriate for them?

Appropriate Size

Your characters position within Hofborg must be appropriate for the house in question. Position is based on position earned within the guild, not backstory. Even if your position in the guild is not suitable for a large/grand home, you are allowed to use one of the larger homes such as moon sugar, coldharbour, or Hakkvild's Hall, etc, to design the home as long as it is reduced in scope so as to feel appropriate. Unless you hold rank within the guild, the private home space should not exceed that equivalent to Grymharth's Woe. Homes that have public space, such as a shop, can be a bit larger.

Landscaping/Transition

The house must be modified to match the rest of the town. This means the trees, rocks and snow must match. It also means that the transition (going thru the portal) must feel realistic, and may require you to cover up walls or windows to match. If you are unsure what would be needed, open a ticket to discuss.

Complete

The decoration of the home must be finished and look complete. We will be a little flexible on minimalist builds, but a big house with less then half the items used probably isn't going to look finished.

Inactivity

The link to your home maybe removed if you go inactive. The period of inactivity will be about a month, but this may vary depending on demand.
