Hallowsend

Hallow's End

Hallow's End is an annual Halloween-inspired event that takes place during the latter half of October.

"Once again Hallow’s End approaches, promising tricks, treats, and triumphs for boys and ghouls (heh) all across Azeroth! This year, starting on October 18, you’ll find a special Hallow’s End Wickerman set up and ready to burn in Stormwind and near the Undercity within the Ruins of Lordaeron. Every four hours, Genn Greymane and Lady Sylvanas will arrive to light each faction’s respective Wickerman in celebration of Hallow’s End. Of course, it wouldn’t be Hallow’s End without a little mischief… "[2]

Lore[]

The day was once used for a festival near the end of harvest for humans of Lordaeron; This was coincidentally the same day that The Forsaken gained their independence from The Scourge.

Hallow's End marks the day the group of undead, who would later be known as the Forsaken, broke free of the Lich King's dominance and once again regained their free will. They celebrate this occasion by setting fire to a wickerman after a short speech from Sylvanas herself and smearing the ashes across their faces.

In the novel Arthas: Rise of the Lich King it is revealed that Hallow's End was celebrated by the Alliance before the Scourge even came to Lordaeron.

Notes[]

  • The original introduction of Hallow's End had this message:
    "When the decorations of Hallow's End light up Azeroth's cities, you know there's mischief afoot! Seek special vendors in Orgrimmar or Ironforge and get your hands on treats! Aid a sick orphan in a little trick-or-treating! Darkcaller Yanka, attending the Forsaken's Wickerman Festival, and Sergeant Hartman of Southshore are seeking your aid in keeping the enemy out of their holiday affairs - are you up to the challenge?"[6]
    • It has since been updated to reflect the large amount of changes that went into effect during the 2011 holiday, including changes wrought by the Cataclysm, such as the destruction of Southshore.
