The Mad King's Revelry

Mad King Thorn is back! The maniacal monarch returns to Lion's Arch and Kamadan, and he's brought a cornucopia of mini-games, jokes, and riddles to delight and dismay his fellow revelers.

You can play the Mad King's malevolent games if you dare, but be warned! If you win, you'll earn special holiday prizes; if you lose, you die. Fortunately, Mad King Thorn's idea of fun includes letting the vanquished come back for more, so you're always welcome to return from the grave and give it another try.

Mad King Thorn will appear in both Lion's Arch and Kamadan on October 31^st multiple times, always preceded by his undead horsemen and accompanied by his entourage of nightmarish cohorts. Participate in any of his appearances and you'll earn a special piece of Halloween headgear. Remember—the Mad King rewards participants in each city with a different mask, so be sure to attend at least one of his events in both Lion's Arch and Kamadan to get both!

You don't even have to contend with the Mad King's tricks to get a treat—there are plenty of other ways to earn prizes, like participating in special events throughout the weekend, or simply exploring in the eerie glow of the Mad King's flickering firelight smile.

As much as he likes to be the center of attention, the Mad King isn't the only exciting part of the festivities.
