Guidelines for Ascension to Eorl/CountDrafted by the Östlaed Thanesmoot and Ealdorman Mark AccynnafonThe official requirements for ascension to the rank of Eorl (known internationally as count), are as follows:
1. Build Requirements* A village of around 20-30 buildings, depending on the size, quality, and detail of said buildings. Unique, consistent themes can lower the needed count. Communities are expected to feel complete. Randomness, unorganized builds will not pass. Must overall fit the theme of the realm - natural, late medieval/renaissance styles. Builds must tie in with lore in some way.
* Assisting or solo-constructing overworld infrastructure to connect this village. At minimum this includes a road of path blocks and bridges where necessary. The bridges do not have to be fancy.
* Construct at least one building in the communal hamlet of Carrwic.
2. Lore requirements* A consistent (with the lore of Östlaed) origin story for your character must be posted in the Östlaed realm sub-forum.
* At least 1-2 lore stories are required to be posted in the Östlaed sub-forum about your Farthing/county.
