The Shade of the Horseman will attack Kharanos, Goldshire, Azure Watch, Razor Hill, Brill and Falconwing Square at four hour intervals, 12:00, 4:00, and 8:00 AM and PM server time during the Shade of the Horseman village event.
These attacks are preceded by a veil of fog dropping around the area and consist primarily of Shade of the Horseman circling overhead on a flying horse. As he circles the village, he throws flaming pumpkins at the various buildings.
After getting the 
[70] Stop the Fires! quest from the Orphan Matron nearby, players are required to use [Water Buckets] from the large water tub (also part of the Hallow's End 
[70] Fire Training and 
[70] Fire Brigade Practice quests) to douse the flames. [Water Buckets] can also be thrown other players to give it to them.
After the fires have been extinguished, the Shade of the Horseman drops to the ground and engages in hand-to-hand combat as a level 11 mob. Upon defeating him, players must then destroy his head, similar to the Headless Horseman Scarlet Monastery battle.
He is generally easily dispatched and the reward is a large pumpkin head in the center of the village that players can 'smash' to receive [Smashed Pumpkin Loot] full of Hallow's End treats.
