# Shrok's Haunting

There is unrest in the souls of the dead and lost Etherborn... I can feel them stirring in the underworld. The veil between their world and ours is not unpassable. If they should find a way back to our world, I fear for what the outcome could be. I beg you to prepare yourself lest we be unready if the undead rise...

"Shrok's Haunting" is our first ever Halloween season event. Players will face a challenging new faction called the "Haunted" which is made up of new skeleton and ghost archetypes. These enemies will bring a new set of challenging abilities and mechanics for players to overcome. As players fight through the content, they will earn a new seasonal resource called "Haunted Essence" which will be used to craft custom on-chain limited rewards.
