Leaves are changing colors, the air is a bit chillier, all signs that can mean only one thing. Autumn is here, and that means Halloween is RIGHT around the corner! That means only one thing...

Welcome to the 4th Annual Faenaria Halloween Ball! The Halloween Ball was the first event I ever ran before I was on staff and I just wanted to celebrate the spooky fun. It definitely holds a special place in my heart! The costume contest is the highlight of the event every year, so here it is!

This year's theme for the costume contest is:
Monster Mash!

Halloween is filled with all kinds of ghouls, and I wanna see them! From vampires to werewolves, zombies to skeletons, the possibilities are out there!! To enter, just dress your character according to the theme. You can also give a small description if you'd like. Either wear the outfit for the duration of the contest, or post a photo of the image you'd like to enter! 1 entry is allowed per account, so make sure to pull out all the stops!
Here are the prizes!

4th place is 100,000 Wish Shards! What will you do with all that cash?

3rd place is 15 Dream Shards! Shopping spree!

2nd place is a Phlox Ticket! This ticket lets the holder create a CYO Baby pet for your avatar! If you've been wanting a little bundle of joy that just yours, here's your opportunity!

1st place is an Azure Ticket! This ticket lets the holder create a CYO Race, meaning if you've always wanted a unique Centaur or Naga, this is your chance!

There are two contests with this, one for members and one for staff. That way, everyone can join in the spooky festivities! Entries are due before October 31st at midnight, and the winners will be announced a short while after!

Let's get spooky!!

Hell yeah, here's my entry!

-gestures to Avatar- This vampire is gonna be hanging around for a while as is. I don't plan to change it.

oh man, it's gonna take some time to come up with a good one.

I have so many ideas but how on earth I pick just one... that's gonna be a while

Just in case I decide to change my avatar for whatever reason, here's a copy of an angry shipwrecked ghost hunting for victims.

"Dark is not always evil, child, but good is not always nice."

@withoutwords That's one awesome avi.

Here's mine Royal! I decided to go with a deadly siren type look. Her Owlbear familiar helps lure people out near the ocean as she can't stray far from it without suffering side effects.

Beware when you're out there harvesting pumpkins!

Here be my winged snake. She's preparing a spell that makes the next victim believe she's their long-lost love - they usually don't notice the signs (skull!) before it's too late!

Here's my avatar for Hallowe'en. I don't actually know how to post one, but the avatar is the entry so that works right?

A demon out looking for hearts to break - in a more literal sense than is usual.

Yeah, I can't come up with anything better, the Tooth Fairy is in town.

Awesome!

I wish I had a clue what flower you're talking about.
Scavenger hunt on the site?

Really cool costumes!

Here is my entry. A Banshee seeking candy. (Grabby Hands) I just wish those little kids would stop running away from me so I could get some of there candy!

Just made a little half-wolf sorceress for, my entry.
