Start of Halloween Event

 * When sunlight wanes to shadow
 * And mists fill nights once clear
 * 'Tis time to think of monarchs
 * Who visit once a year.


 * Hail, Thorn, the king demented,
 * Whose laughter fills the air
 * Where cunning gifts are given
 * With wit and deadly flair!


 * And as the season passes
 * Remember what you've seen
 * In Lion's Arch and Kamadan
 * On this good Halloween.
