An unfortunate bat.

The undead are extra active right now, so you need to slay them! Start by killing skeletons. You can find them in a graveyard. Or lots of other places, really. Oh, and if you're freaked out about murder, don't worry: it doesn't count as murder when you kill the undead! You can trust me. I'm a god.

— Zhia Lian Event: Kill Skeletons

Halloween is a Seasonal Event celebrated in the Council Lands. For the past few years, strange circumstances have befallen Alharth during this time, often related to the Undead. This seems to be a result of the Chalice being in close alignment with Alharth.

Throughout the season, Skeletons, Ghouls, and other Undead drop seasonal materials, recipes, and ability scrolls. Magical keys can also be looted, which are used to open chests behind the Inn of Serbule Keep. The goddess of whimsy and unpredictability, Zhia Lian, has a habit of interfering during this time of year. She often offers promising adventurers lucrative rewards for helping with a far-reaching Undead problem, and issues related to her misguided Cult.

Zhia Lian's Undead Removal & Spooky Challenge Quests

Zhia Lian begins by tasking each adventurer with two quests. Zhia Lian Event: Candied Apples and Zhia Lian Event: Kill Skeletons are received by characters logged in during the event period. Completing a quest unlocks additional quests in a branching quest tree. Fourteen quests reward a icon_6345.png Live Event Credit when completed, and most others reward Event Loot Keys of various levels. A total of seven titles can be unlocked through completing quests.
