Foxton Legacy [Eon] was the guild created on 24 November 2016 to revive the Kingdom of Foxes, which had been disbanded that July. A new name and tag were needed because the Fox name and tag had already been re-registered by outsiders.
Foxton Legacy [Eon] was the guild through which the Kingdom of Foxes was revived in November 2016, five months after LoveLusting disbanded it[1].
The record
The name Foxton Legacy is known only from Drew1011's retrospective account, written in February 2018; no forum thread or roster uses either the name or the tag.
Revival
The decision came on 21 November 2016, when LoveLusting suggested reviving the guild "in a half joking manner"[2]. Drew1011 brought in Misty (Pyrias), the founder of House of Sentinels, and then Killerfish, who agreed to serve as Viceroy[3].
The obstacle was the guild's own name. "After Ari disbanded Fox, a few rogue Hax members recreated it with the same name and tag. Unfortunately this meant we had to create a new name and tag for the guild."[4] The re-registration took place on 3 July 2016, the day after the disbandment[5], and the guild registered that day is the Kingdom Foxes still listed in the Wynncraft API[6].
"So, on November 24th, we created Foxton Legacy [Eon]. Foxton Legacy because Ari's name in the guild lore was Arianna Foxton, and Eon to represent that her legacy would last an Eon."[7] The dynastic name outlasted the guild name: the Kingdom of Foxes' recruitment thread still heads its leadership block "The Royal Family | House Foxton"[8]. Misty took the title Queen of the Foxes, Drew1011 that of King — "a title that no other has obtained" — and Killerfish that of Viceroy[9].
Mottoes
The guild banner of the revival period carried the motto "Glory to the Rightful" beneath a quartered fox-and-wing crest.
On 7 February 2017 Drew1011 stepped down as King and LoveLusting was restored[10]. "We chose a new motto, one fitting of the Queen's return, and of Fox's unwillingness to die: 'Forever or Nothing.'"[11]

The end of the name
When or how the Foxton Legacy name was dropped in favour of Kingdom Foxes again was never recorded. Writing in mid-2017, Drew1011 described his own tenure without using the name at all — "From December 2016 to February 2017, I was King of the Foxes"[12] — which also gives December rather than November as the start of the revival period, a month later than his 2018 narrative. Both dates are his.
