Blood and Madness, our annual Halloween festival, returns for two weeks of ghoulish capers, spooky fights, and maddening fun!

— Official website

Blood and Madness is a Halloween-themed festival that was launched on October 21, 2014, and ended on November 4, 2014. The celebration brings many seasonal events and activities in Lion's Arch. During the festival, the barriers separating Tyria from the Underworld start to weaken, resulting in many paranormal phenomena, and the arrival of the Mad King Thorn, who opens the doors to the Mad Realm to all of the festival visitors.
