Hallow's End is a Halloween-style event that takes place at the mid-end of October.
- 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?[1]
Lore
The day was once used for a festival near the end of harvest for humans of Lordaeron; the Forsaken later bastardized this practice, and now use the evening for their mysterious "Wickerman" rituals.[2]
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 Warcraft book Arthas: Rise of the Lich King it its revealed that Hallow's End was celebrated by the Alliance before the Scourge even came to Lordaeron.
Fun Stuff
- The Shade of the Horseman is terrorizing the villages of Azeroth!
- Each of the following towns is attacked by the shade of the Headless Horseman: Kharanos, Goldshire, Azure Watch, Razor Hill, Brill and Falconwing Square
- The attack begins with the horseman setting fires onto buildings within the town. Players must put out the fires using buckets of water.
- The horseman will come into the village and must be fought. He is level 11 and non-elite.
- When defeated, a pumpkin is left on the ground which can be smashed for loot by every player.
- Black Cats are around cities... be careful though, if you kill one, you will gain "Bad Luck" for two hours. During this time, you will sense your impending doom... Has no effect on your stats, lost after death.
- Talk to Innkeepers and they may give you a "Trick" or a [Treat Bag].

- Turns you into a bat, cat, frog, human ghost, kitten, Mini-Diablo, skeleton, pirate, ninja or snake for 30 seconds.

- During this event [Pumpkin Bag]s drop in addition to [Traveler's Backpack]s. Both can still drop off identical mobs.
