As the last harvest is gathered and darkness falls upon the kingdom, the ancient festival of Samhain awakens the spirits of Halloween! Long ago, the Celts believed that on this enchanted night, the veil between the living and the dead grew thin, allowing restless souls and mysterious creatures to roam the mortal lands.
Bonfires blazed upon the hills, villagers donned frightening disguises to ward off evil spirits, and offerings of food were left to please wandering ghosts. Now, brave knights and noble lords, prepare your lanterns, guard your castles, and venture forth in search of spooky adventures and hidden treasures!
But remember, not every ghost is an enemy and not every witch deserves a battle — take the horrors lightly, enjoy the mischief, and may your Halloween be filled with laughter, sweet treats, and mountains of candy!

In honor of the holiday, from October 28 to November 12, 2026, you can enjoy new items, contests, discounts, and hot offers!

Among the gifts, you can find resources, artifacts, unique soldiers, gold, and diamonds.

In the festive tree, you can also find a special dungeon. Nine levels of nightmares await their hero. Test your courage!

MINI-GAME “HALLOWEEN FESTIVAL”

The holiday is coming soon, and it’s time to prepare for the festival of the dead! To complete the task, you need to collect special artifacts that can be obtained from exploring temporary locations. Collected artifacts should be placed in the appropriate slots on the game board. Once all the pieces are in place, the player receives the specified reward. The prize list can be changed for gold. To ensure you don't miss the time to collect the final table, a special timer has been added!

Each player’s costume collection stats are recorded. At the end of the holiday, the top 10 best players will receive a prize. You can check your rank in the leaderboard stats.

The Halloween Festival mini-game also includes a cross-server contest!
The top-25 best players across all servers who score the highest points in the mini-game will receive valuable rewards.

Remember, to make it to the top 25, you need to meet a condition:
A special coefficient will be applied when determining the winners. The number of artifacts found by the player must be greater than six times the number of tables collected. This formula rewards players who genuinely invested effort while preventing those who take shortcuts from making it to the top.

LOTTERY
You can also find the holiday lottery in the pumpkin tree. In the holiday lottery, there will be a window with nine gifts, and you need to open three of them. Based on the total score, you will receive a Bronze, Silver, or Gold prize, which includes resources, soldiers, buildings, and other bonuses. To play the lottery, you need a lottery ticket, which can be purchased by buying gold or found in locations. One game in the lottery costs 1,000 lottery tickets.

By playing the lottery, you can also win a special prize—a blueprint for new levels of the prize pumpkin statue. To get it, you need to reach 100% on the progress bar.


We also announce a holiday lottery for all purchases made between October 28 and November 12 at 23:59. The grand prize on each server will be a 12k purchase and a special PurpleThorn Bonus Castle.

There are also many prizes of various values. Every participant will receive a guaranteed prize for participating.

ANNE of DENMARK JEWELRY


Using these jewelry will increase the levels of your Winter Residence, Magdeburg Column and Clan Castle.
In November 1589, Princess Anne of Denmark married King James VI of Scotland in Norway, beginning a royal union surrounded by mystery and dark legends. Violent storms that threatened their sea voyages were blamed on witches, who were accused of summoning supernatural forces to destroy the royal couple.
These suspicions helped spark the infamous North Berwick witch trials of 1590, one of Scotland's most notorious witch hunts. According to legend, a sinister gathering of witches took place on Halloween night in 1590, where dark rituals and spells were performed against the king.
The tale of Anne of Denmark and the North Berwick witches remains a haunting chapter of Scottish history, filled with royal intrigue, superstition, and fear of the unknown.
