Update - Thursday, October 25, 2007

When sunlight wanes to shadow

And mists fill nights once clear

'Tis time to think of monarchs

Who visit once a year.

Hail, Thorn, the king demented,

Whose laughter fills the air

Where cunning gifts are given

With wit and deadly flair!

And as the season passes

Remember what you've seen

In Lion's Arch and Kamadan

On this good Halloween.
