Night of the Living Dead IC Dates:October 1st - 31th The nights grow long and there is a chill in the air that leaves an uneasy feeling. The spirits, ghosts, and deities seem to be stirring much more than usual. When the sun sets, a strange noise can be heard. Something stirs in the dark places of the realm. Up from the cemeteries and burial grounds, the dead have risen! Their rotting corpses emerge from the earth and they wander until sunrise, when they finally crumble to dust once more. To participate, characters can explore any cemetery, burial ground, or other spooky place. Players are free to involve zombie-corpses if they choose and can use the NPC account if needed.
