It's the spoopiest time of the eyar - The ominous shadow of Rapadruk Season has fallen upon us once more!

In addition to the launch of this year's revamped Scare the Storytellers contest:

- Candy Dan is once more haunting the Agog Walk of Heroes with tales of Rapadruk terror and glee. He's also sent out his band of clones out to all the racial homeworlds to spread cheer and sugar to any spacers bold enough to find them.

- The Drukula Brothers' Rapa'ruk Mansion at mindsim address v15087 is once again open for exploration! Will you take the path of blood and terror (PvE), or the haunting path of nightmare tales (Puzzles)? Either one will challenge your understanding of our historic Scare the Storytellers contest winners and give you the chance to immerse into Starmourn lore.

Keep an eye on the UPCOMING LIST in game for your chance to participate in pop up events all month including some rituals in the Mansion.

Happy Scary Season, Starmourn!

Learn about the annual tradition of Rapadruk:
Rapadruk is the Krona festival of the dead which lasts a Gunurashian month and is celebrated once every four galactic years.

Once only celebrated by Krona, the festival has gained sector wide popularity in recent times, with many people emulating the traditional Drukpyr (a lantern made from the exoskeleton of a giant Tarak beetle's head) by carving pikatos to bear grisly, illuminated faces.

Elder Druk is a legendary figure, bearing a blackened mukblud, who is said to to ride on the back of a gigantic Tarak beetle named Nidra, raising the souls of the dead as they travel, creating a rampaging army of mayhem that reaches its culmination with a huge and riotous final celebration at the end of the festival known as Nidrak-Bek - Night of Souls.

The parade of Elder Druk and their army of mayhem are said to give out sugary and spicy treats to raise the pulses and therefore the appetite for chaos in the people they pass, and therefore its traditional to give and receive candy and foods as spicy as possible during this time.
