 Oddly enough, no one is quite sure where the Houvers got their name.  Some say it was from the way they "houvered" over their drinks.  Others speculate that it is a corruption of "Who fer?", which is the traditional question asked by barmaids in the [[Cadaver, The|'Daver]] when delivering drinks to a table.  Members of the Houvers neither confirm, nor deny, either story.

 In the last 30 years, the Houvers have recruited heavily amongst veterans of the [[Tarkherk Corps]] who, upon arriving home from their patriotic service, found themselves short of wives, not to mention a place to stay, their own wives having packed up and left without paying the bills.  This has given the Houvers a very dangerous undercurrent which strikes fear into the hearts of their own members.  Thankfully, the Houvers are usually far to sotted to be of any danger to anyone, even themselves.  Some have noted that the year of their founding coincides with the year that the [[Harrabloon Bank]] was founded.  Both organizations are quick to point out that this is a total and complete coincidence.  They are so quick to point this out that many offer that up as evidence the two groups are connected in some secret and nefarious way.
