Halloween 2005

Halloween celebrations at Lion's Arch

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.
