The Haunted House is now open with lots of attractions provided by the business savvy of Trader Bob and his Merchant Peak's Coterie. It is located on the Stairs of Death on Avechna's Peak and has a new temporary landmark - hauntedhouse - to help you get there.

A wide selection of toys, dolls, and costumes (including new ones!) can be purchased at Brilyn's store and there is a slew of activities there to keep you busy and entertained. There is pumpkin carving, decorative web-making in the basement, two unique vengeance games, an expanded and spookier basement maze, bobbing for apples, fortune reading, haunted furniture, themed refreshments, and two chilling plays based on the house's history.

Remember those vengeane games can be initiated by anyone for a small fee so you can play them yourselves. Be sure to check out the adorable doll of the Great Worm Uskashyth too. Brilyn now also sells a potion that will help you keep your carved jack-o-lanterns fresh for much longer if used in the aetherways, helping you keep those decorations for a good while.

In the Haunted House basement you can also find a mirror which leads to a whole other area - an enormous maze with many mysteries and very unique challenges. It has its own spooky quest for you to undertake and a slew of secrets - within the mansion, beneath it, and out there in the maze. We are not guiding you to many of them on purpose, preferring to leave the mysteries of the Hallowed Maze for you to discover.

Beyond that, if you happen upon an odd doorway hanging in the middle of the air somewhere upon the Prime Plane, be wary! Knock upon it only if you dare! The Oracle of the Earthburner herself has cursed the Haunted House and the Basin at large. There are twenty different stories hidden behind those doors and the one to collect them all will find the associated quest completed. Be on the lookout for the telltale signs of the doors in the vicinity - spooky phenomena will be afoot.

To make sure you don't miss out on the main activities, the Coterie has prepared a Haunting Adventure to guide you through them. Be sure to pick up a pamphlet in the foyer of the Haunted House, it will be your guide. But do stray from the beaten path too, never know what you might discover.

The Haunting will end on November 7th, at noon, giving you the entire week and next weekend to try everything out!
