Shadow of the Mad King

Halloween comes just once a year; it's an evening of fun, there's nothing to fear.

Children dress up in spooky disguises and trick or treat for Halloween prizes.

But there are whispers of warning in the crisp autumn air: "the Mad King will return, so you better beware!"

Don't listen to fools and the stories they tell; Mad King Thorn isn't real, you know very well.
