CONTENT CHANGES
- The level 25-29 tier in the Gauntlet quest can now be completed

Haunted Happenings
Throughout the last few days of October, the restless spirits of Dereth made their presence known, and the nefarious Pumpkin Hordes made a bid for control of the land. The brave players of Dereth rose up together to overcome the unusual foes. Heap praise on them all, immediately!
