Daniel Frozenwind.2946 Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) THE 18TH KING AND QUEEN'S HORRORWEEN (2023) Knight at Lion's Hollow Event forum post best viewed in Guildwars2 default mode. 🦇 ABOUT Come one - come all to The 18th King and Queen’s Horrorween! Join us in Lion’s Arch, on the 28th of October, starting at 6pm CEST. Tyria's oldest community event returns to the Guild Wars franchise with a journey into Kryta’s spooky past! The Snowman King on behalf of her majesty Mad Queen Malafide cordially invites you all to attend this knightly Halloween adventure. Featuring the famous costume contest, live in-game bands, coconuts, a dedicated Discord channel where you can interact with our courtiers and listen to Halloween music, and fan favourite activities you have all come to know and love! It is not to be missed! Visit the official website TheHorrorween.com for more information! 🦴PLOT FOR 2023 An ancient menace is stirring once again in the port-city of Lion's Arch . A tale long forgotten. The Wickerman, guardian of the Horrorween, has fallen - resulting in an unwilling oath. One of Mad King Thorn’s knightly minions, a high ranking member of the Lunatic Court, has been set loose upon Lion’s Hollow, to remind Tyrians why they fear what lurks in the Labyrinth. Royal affairs do not come to Tyria unchallenged however, prepare for a night of medievil mayhem! As the 13th hour draws near, join forces with Daniel Frozenwind, King of the Snowmen, and Mad Queen Malafide, to drive back this ancient terror from antiquity. Steel yourself, ready your armour and coconuts! Rise to the courtly challenge! 🎃 A MESSAGE FROM THE MAD KING Once upon a Halloween spooky, while I wandered, sly and kooky, Over many a Candycorn and Arcanus Obscurus of forgotten lore— While I plotted, nearly cackling, suddenly there came a scratching, As of some Skyscale gently scratching, scratching at the Mad King’s Door. “’Tis some Choya or Quaggan,” I muttered, “Cooing at His Realm’s door— A mesmer illusion and nothing more.” I remember, though not entirely sober, it was in the trick or treating of October; And each separate dying ember infusion, wrought Gnashblade’s gold upon the floor. Eagerly I wished to follow;—vainly I had sought Lion’s Hollow. From Malafide’s unholy books came much sorrow—sorrow for the lost Grim Fright of yore. For the rare and radiant Knight whom the Bloody Prince names Sir Steve the Grim, an evil I abhor— Nameless In the Labyrinth for evermore. And the skeletal, sad, uncertain roaring of each chainsaw sawing, Thrilled me—filled me with fantastic horrors never felt before; With my Heart of the Obscure whirring, I felt an evil stirring. Evil stirring in the Labyrinth, eager for some gore. So that now, to still the itching of my carrot, I stood repeating, “’Tis some Knightly Visitor entreating, entrance from The Mad Realms door— Some Grim Fright entreating, entrance to the Lion’s Arch floor;— A mesmer illusion and nothing more.” EVENT SCHEDULE - 28TH OCTOBER 6PM CEST 17:30 | Tale of the Grim Fright / Grand Banquette 18:00 | Duel of the Cakes 18:30 | Joust About 19:00 | Ramming Speed / Fountain Photos 19:30 | Knightly Costume Contest 20:00 | 20:30 | Ghost Stalk 21:00 | -Redacted- (Dwayna’s Boom) 21:30 | Ghostly Quartet (CMAJ) 22:00 | 22:30 | Ridiculous Riffs 23:00 | Beetle-Joust,Beetle-Joust,Beetle-Joust! 23:30 | Piazza Drift Championship / The Great Batty Beetle Boost 00:00 | Stone in the Sword / Knightflight/ Last is First / Frozenwind-says 00:30 | Grand Finale (Horrorween stage) 01:00 | The After Party / The Community Spirit Award Sponsored Guild(s) Guardians of the Dutch [GOTD] (For donating the vast majority of event prizes & hosting event Discord) [CMAJ] for providing the famous live band "The Ghostly Quartet” Golems Walk Among Mere Mortals [MK1] If you know, you know.

Just pick one number and your character name, and post in this thread which number you’ve chosen. You can’t take a number that has already been picked, and one number per account. Some folks may receive a different number automatically, if they choose a number that is already taken. Without a character name, we can’t send you the prize. Make sure you spell it right. And yes, US players can take part as well! The Raffle may be extended in case of overwhelming interest (more numbers means more winners).
