The Mad King Has Left the Building

Calm is returning to Kamadan and Lion's Arch, and the pumpkin-wearing crowds are returning to their normal lives. The Mad King has departed, for now, and the masses are reveling in the many gifts he left behind in his lunatic wake. Do not be shocked if you continue to see walking, talking—even dancing—candy corn over the next few weeks. Some do not wish to say goodbye to the Halloween spirit just yet.

The gifts Mad King Thorn distributed have turned into quite a valuable commodity. Many citizens would never dream of handing over their hard-earned treats, but those who are willing to do so are making a killing in the market. It can be expected that the price of these items will continue to rise as supplies diminish, so if you desire to acquire a few extra Halloween treats—perhaps some Squash Serum or Witch's Brew—now would be the time to trade for them.

While these gifts are special, most citizens are buzzing about the spectacularly spooky headgear the Mad King gave out in both of his party locations. In Lion's Arch, following the tradition of years past, Mad King Thorn handed out a fabulous "Furious Pumpkin Crown," while in Kamadan, he presented party attendees with a new type of headgear—the "Wicked Hat." These prized possessions have earned a permanent place in the populace's backpacks, and they no doubt will be brought out at many social events in the future. As one citizen stated, with obvious pride, "Our Wicked Hats and our Furious Pumpkin Crowns are signs that we were there when the Mad King descended on the city. Not only did we not flee in fear, we managed to survive a barrage of painful jokes to get the rewards. In fact, some of us bested King Thorn at a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors for extra treats!"

We must now wait another year to see if Mad King Thorn again will grace us with his regal presence during the Halloween Season. As he would say in one of his rare moments of near-lucidity, "Watch for the heralds that mark the sign of my return."
