Halloween 2022
“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.
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 
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.
Party Quests - Zhia Lian
Adventurers that complete either Zhia Lian Event: Bat Out or Zhia Lian Event: Kill Pumpkin Mimics will be given permission to begin the quest Zhia Lian Event: Preparing For The Big Party by speaking to Brandon Mellus.

After finishing the beer delivery quest, Brandon will move from Amulna to the Red Wing Casino party room. Three quests must be completed to finish Zhia Lian Event: Preparing For The Big Party.

- Receiving a Party Invite
Adventurers should speak with Brandon Mellus and try to successfully complete a quiz to receive the Cultist of Zhia Lian title. If you pass the quiz, you also receive a verbal invite. Those who fail the quiz must complete the quest Zhia Lian Event: Delivering The Beer to receive an invite. (It is suggested by most players that the quest should be completed anyways to guarantee party access).
Besides an invite, a party mask is also required. Those without an equipped mask will be automatically teleported out of the party room if they attempt to enter it. Items listed in Category:Items/MasqueradeMask can be quipped to grant access. These masks can be looted off of several types of undead mobs during Halloween or crafted through Tailoring.
