Morroween

**Morroween** is an event available during the month of October on Nerevarine Prophecies. Meant to parallel the real-life holiday of Halloween, Morroween has skeletal decorations strewn across Balmora, along with a lot of Halloween-themed objectives and items for players to obtain.

## Jack

Jack is a modified Bonelord raid boss, with large pools of health and magicka as well as high level destruction spells. At 9 PM during the event, a portal will spawn in a random place in Balmora. When spawned, the server will send the message: `An eerie portal has appeared.` When a player interacts with the portal, they will be sent to the Realm of Nightmares where Jack resides. If left undefeated, players will be removed from the Realm of Nightmares at 6 AM. If players manage to defeat him, he will drop Jack's Remains, which functions as a loot cache that will give the player a wide assortment of items when opened.

Jack has approximately 100,000 health, so fighting him alone is not ideal. The optimal strategy is to drain his INT so he cannot cast spells, and then repeatedly hit him with a large group of players until he is defeated. Jack's melee output is significantly less dangerous than his spell output.

## Jack's Remains

The items that can be dropped from the Jack's Remains loot cache include:

**Character Masks:**

Most of the masks that can be given away through Jack's Remains are based on specific characters from *Morrowind.*

 Tarhiel

**Unique Masks:**

During the 2022 event, four exclusive Masks that are only obtainable from Jack's Remains were added on October 11. They are all based on Skulls. The Blazing variants have the unique Constant Effect of Light 5 points. They also have a unique fire aura that surrounds the wearer's head.

The 2023 event added at least three more: the Skull (Everflame), Skull (Plaguebearer), and Skull (Bondage). The Everflame variant has a larger fire aura than the Blazing variants, and the fire is a green color. The Plaguebearer variant has a poison cloud aura above the skull. The Bondage variant has a levitation aura above and below the skull.

**Tomes:**

All tomes given during the event are based on skeletal enemies from *Morrowind.*

**Weapons & Armor:**

**Clothing**

**Miscellaneous:**

## Morroween Candy

In many major cities, you will find Morroween Enthusiasts, NPCs that notably wear a Morroween Mask, always one not matching the race they themselves are. They are always directly next to a cauldron containing a Sack of Morroween Treats. When talked to, they will either compliment the player's mask (if wearing one), or they will simply greet the player with a `Happy Morroween!` message.

The Enthusiasts can be found in: Ald'ruhn, Caldera, Dagon Fel, Ebonheart, Gnaar Mok, Gnisis, Hla Oad, Khuul, Molag Mar, Pelagiad, Sadrith Mora, Seyda Neen, Suran, Tel Mora, Vivec, and Vos.

    If the player accepts their request to Trick-Or-Treat, they will always be given a Morroween Candy and 850 mastery experience as a reward. However, if the player is **not** wearing a Morroween Mask (of any type), they will also be tricked by the Enthusiast, giving the player a random negative spell effect for ninety seconds. The player can only collect one candy per Morroween Enthusiast, and once collected the Enthusiast will not give another candy for one real-life day.
The main reason to acquire these Morroween Candies is for Young Talvas, a Dark Elf child located near the Balmora Tribunal Temple. His mother works in the Temple, and will not allow Talvas to go trick-or-treating for candies. Talvas will ask you to collect Morroween candies for him, and if given enough he will trade the player for any of the ten Racial Morroween Masks. These cannot be obtained through any other method, so cooperation with Talvas is mandatory if these are desired. His price starts at one candy, but then will increase by five candies each time thereafter, meaning using two or more characters to get all of Talvas' masks is ideal. The masks he can give away can be found below:

## Gravestones

Players can read gravestones that are located across Balmora. Each one is a reference to someone who has been related to Nerevarine Prophecies in some significant way. Checking all the graves is a way to get two different achievements.

## Achievements

There are currently seven exclusive achievements for the Morroween event.

## Trivia

* Jack used to spawn in Balmora square at 9 PM. This was changed to be a portal that is summoned into Balmora at 9 PM due to concerns of new players being attacked in Balmora by accident.
