THE 15TH KING AND QUEEN'S HORRORWEEN (2020)


ABOUT

Come one - come all to The 15th King and Queen's Horrorween!

Tyria's oldest community event returns to the Guild Wars franchise for its ominous 15th anniversary.

The Snowman King on behalf of her majesty Mad Queen Malafide cordially invites you all to attend this grand Halloween caper.
Featuring the famous costume contest, live in-game bands and fan favourite activities you have all come to know and love!It is not to be missed, we bring frights and delights!


PLOT FOR 2020

Ancient magic is stirring once more in the port-city of Lion's Arch .However, the chill autumn wind feels slightly more potent as Halloween approaches.265 years of concentrated madness, mischief and merriment has caused an unforeseen crisis.While Tyrians sleep, The Mad Realm exerts its influence, causing dreams to manifest as nightmares.Mad King Thorn* is using these empowered Night-Mares to cause even more mayhem then usual.Mortals are in peril as the Demented Monarch has set his sights on bringing forth a Legendary Bone Skinner at the 13th hour.All is not lost however, an elusive and mysterious Night-Catcher has been spotted sprinting about the roof tops catching these rogue spirits, for what end?Aurene's Champion and allies are summoned to investigate.Join Frozenwind & Malafide as they race against time to restore and burn the Wickerman.This must be done before the Witching Hour strikes, or the Night-Mares become real forever!

*He may kill you in the process.


A MESSAGE FROM THE MAD KING

Although Halloween has lain dormant, there comes a time.When revellers awaken, and hear the bell chime.Ghouls stir in patchwork beds and skeletons arise from dusty tombs.Drawn by the Horror, this magic - the greatest of boons.

The Mad Monarch Thorn, calls to one and all.Away from Palawa, and the tar of his thrall.With him stands Malafide, Queen supreme.And an Old Snowman, a merry one indeed.

They wait for you to arrive, beneath the cold Mad Moon.For the 15th tradition - is bound to begin soon.So linger a while, under the pale moonlight.The Horrorween is here, it's time to fright and delight!
