Events:

Alchemania! - East Wing

Join Apothecary Venomsoul for an all-skill-level-appropriate brewing competition! Bring along whatever ingredients you wish to ‘compliment’ the ones provided, brew to the best of your ability, survive any and all “accidental” interruptions, then finally present your creation to the world!

(Maximum 15 Participants)

Wretched Raiments - Throne Room

Hallow’s End means costumes! Dress to impress by adopting a new visage to strike fear into those that behold you!
This year’s theme, inspired by the recently-passed anniversary of the Burning Legion’s defeat, is “Spawn of the Nether.” Come dressed for the part of a fearsome demon fit for the Dark Titan’s army!

Pyreside Stories - Central Grass

A casual opportunity to join your fellows by the campfire, and share the most spine-chilling story you can concoct. From old and true stories to utter fabrications, try your hand at twisting a tale that brings quakes to one’s boots.
We recommend coming prepared with a pre-written tale, and making sure it doesn’t exceed much more than 10 minutes in length.

Burning Burdens - Central Grass

Stand at the foot of the burning wickerman, cast a branch into its flames to cast away your burdens and paint your face with its ashes as a symbol of your triumph over them.
Flammable materials will be provided for those who require them.

Sorscary - Arcanist's Sanctum

Dark magic hangs in the air as the veil weakens. Weave spells of any sort, in any manner, in your best attempt to create the most frightful display of magic possible.

Please ensure to have a spell and an explanation of your method prepared before taking part, to make sure everyone gets time to perform.

(Maximum 15 Participants)

Monstrous Memoirs - East Wing

Both Hallow’s End and the Forsaken have a storied history. But how well do you know them? Answer questions regarding the lore of relevant topics and prove yourself a true Hallowed Historian.

Morbid Merchandise - South Wing

Set up your stall amidst the ruins for the night and trade in goods relevant to the spirit of Hallow’s End.
Merchants do not need to reserve space for the evening, but we ask that you come prepared with a festive catalogue, to keep in-theme with the celebrations.

The Dance Macabre - Throne Room

As the festival closes out, haunting melodies wash over the ruins, and the old throne room is cleared for the Dance Macabre. A chance to wind-down and dance to your heart (or lack thereof’s) content.

I have heard Malunara serves living-friendly drinks and urge anyone to try one.

…as long as there is a healer nearby.

The day of the festival has arrived!

Tonight, Alchemania!, Wretched Raiments, Pyreside Stories and Burning Burdens will all take place. So dust off your costumes and remember some trauma!

A gentle re-reminder to make sure you’ve completed the 9.2.5 Lordaeron questline in order to access the version of Tirisfal that the event occurs in.

Hope to see you there!
