Dear Magical Folks of Citadel,

This is the time we’ve all been waiting for, as the darkness draws closer with each day the moon is growing and the spooky feelings are lingering. We’re hosting a building contest for all of our creators out there. Nothing brings out the creepy crawlies like a well-dressed castle full of tricks and maybe even a few treats.

We’re hosting a Halloween-inspired building contest that’ll be held from Oct 3 - Oct 31. You have all the time to create one or as many entries as possible during this time frame. We encourage you to build with a team to create something awfully spooky, however, both solo or team-builders are welcome to participate. We have the details listed below:

[h3]Duration[/h3]
You have from October 3rd to October 31st so submit your Halloween-themed builds.

[h3]Rewards[/h3]
There will be two top winners:

1. One will be crowned the winner from our dev team
   
2. Second winner will be chosen by the community (the top five builds will be chosen from the dev team and will be up for vote by the community to crown the winner)

3. That being said if you choose to build on a PVE server but want your reward to go onto a PVP server we can make those arrangements
   
4. This contest is open to both PC and Console players
   
5. If you’re building with a team your whole team will be awarded all the in-game item prizes
   
6. Players are free to build anything they like, but will need to keep in mind that builds must be appropriate and adhere to Blue Isle Studios community guidelines (do not be crude)

[h3]Final Thoughts[/h3]
This concludes our event 'The Mighty Will Not Fall'. In light of these things, we learned a lot from this event and hope to increase the number of community events for this incredible community. When the next event rolls around, we'll make improvements based on your feedback.

I want to thank all our participants, you all did so well - we’ll see you again soon with some quality of life updates and bug fixes for the base game.

Until next time!
