6.1.2 The Pumpkin Festival

The Pumpkin Festival is here! 28 October 2014

When the Eye of Wisdom first came to Candara, the land was very underdeveloped. There was a great shortage of lumber, a farmer used a pumpkin to carve a mask like these and then when he put a candle inside, it seemed to come to life.

When the leaders at the Eye of Wisdom heard of this, they marked this day as a day of celebration so that the people could take a rest before the hard winter. Everyone put on these pumpkin masks and gathered to enjoy a friendly chat and some delicious pumpkin dishes. Later, children would put on these masks and dress up as monsters then visit their neighbor's houses to ask for candy.

First it was only the game of a few children, but over time a custom developed and now the day is set in the calendar as Pumpkin Festival. Children still dress as monsters and ask everyone for candy or try to scare them. And they shout: 'Trick or Treat!'

The time has come for your to let your dark side run riot! Give ghosts and demons a taste of their own medicine and give them the fright of their (undead) lives!

The Pumpkin King has appeared once more and is threatening the living with his horde of ghosts and monsters! Challenge him to a duel with emotes, fight off his pumpkin offspring and play in the great "Trick or treat!" to win from a huge selection of prizes!

Visit Taborea and revel in the festivities, take part in parades, catch ghosts or otherwise come to the aid of the frightened citizens.
