Halloween 2005

Halloween comes to the world of Guild Wars every year, on October 31st. Certain towns were decorated with deadly decorations and ghastly scenery.

Description
From the Guild Wars Event Page and Game Updates:

Beginning of the Halloween event

 * When the moon rises high over Lion's Arch
 * And the wind moans through the most hollow of eves


 * Shutter your homes this holiday
 * Steer clear of the shadows
 * For on this night, they say,


 * A long-addled spirit returns from the grave
 * Pumpkin upon his head,
 * A wicked deed within his heart
 * A pint of witch's brew for all those who misbehave


 * Heed these words, all ye who dare enter here:
 * Bind your souls to the mortal realm
 * For the regent of madness draws near.

Ending the Halloween event

 * As the Mad King's laughter fades
 * And calm settles over Lion's Arch
 * While peace comes to Droknar's Forge
 * And the Primeval Kings return to slumber
 * We bid farewell to Halloween
 * Until the coming year.
