The Mad King has been reined in! His power diminished, the Prince of Puns seems to have been limited to the terms of his ancient curse: he can only visit Lion's Arch once a year, on Halloween—and only just for fun. The portal to the Mad Realm in Lion's Arch has been capped, and we're safe to celebrate the spirit of Halloween. Join in on the Mad King's Halloween games, and you may by surprised by his generosity. If you haven't carved every pumpkin in Tyria yet, now's your chance. Talk to a master carver, located in Lion's Arch and the Durmand Priory's Halloween response camps in Queensdale, Metrica Province, the Plains of Ashford, Caledon Forest, and Wayfarer Foothills, to find out whether you're a master carver too. Magister Tassi has been pleased that so many have hunted down the ghosts from the Mad King's past, but if you haven't found all twelve, then you're missing critical pieces of King Oswald Thorn's infamous history! May the sweetness you mine from candy corn nodes sustain you all year long! Happy Halloween! —Captain Tokk
