Howden

"Howden. It's to the east of the White Mountains, no more than half a day's hard ride."

- Agravaine to Arthur

Howden is a village in the kingdom of Camelot. It is located to the east of the White Mountains, and was one of the first villages to be attacked by the Dorocha.

History
After Drea arrived at the citadel claiming that Howden had been attacked by faceless men, Merlin, Arthur, and the Knights of the Round Table went to investigate. They discovered that Howden had been decimated by the Dorocha, one of which attacked Merlin.

In trying to defend himself, Merlin discovered that they were immune to his magic and Lancelot had to ward them away with a torch. When Merlin later told Arthur that he didn't think the Dorocha were something that could be chased or killed, Arthur decided to leave the village and return to the citadel (The Darkest Hour).

Trivia

 * Gwen's friends from Longstead, John and Mary Howden, share a surname with this village (Lamia).
