Double, double toil and trouble
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble
Double, double toil and trouble
Something wicked this way comes…

All across Vivarium, you will be able to find caves that you swear were not there before, you’re positive they weren’t. Yet, here they were, eerily dark within, as if light stood no chance against its shadows. Under the moonlight, an ominous fog will pour from the entrance, and you notice it looks… strange. It appears to be an unnatural, ghostly green color. Chills rush down your spine, and you can’t help but feel as if something sinister has its eyes on you, watching your every move.

Do you dare to enter its depths? This is your chance to turn back, and run.

Eye of newt, and toe of frog
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting
Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing…

The screech of bats will pierce the air, and the wind will howl, either beckoning you to venture forward or warning you to flee. Goosebumps blanket your skin, and adrenaline courses as your instincts set you on edge. Some may feel a pull, as if being forced to enter by some unknown entity. Within the cave’s darkness, you find what you most fear…

Double, double toil and trouble
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble

Until the end of Halloween, the caves will remain, dark and daunting. Should you enter, your character will face hallucinations of their greatest fears and phobias. Will they manage to escape, or will the cave claim them as its victim, never to see the light of day again? Be warned of the dangers, and be prepared for the worst.

In the cauldron boil and bake
Filet of a fenny snake
Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf
Witches' mummy, maw and gulf

What will the Howling Caverns have in store for you? Ghosts and ghouls? Snakes and bats? Whatever you most fear is awaiting your arrival.

This special, spooky event offers the chance of earning a Halloween badge! Our cute, little jack-o’-lantern pixel can be claimed for up to FIVE characters per player and is also claimable for your OOC account. How do you get these, exactly? SIMPLE! Your characters must have at least one thread interacting with the caves, and while this thread does not have to be finished to claim your badge, it MUST have at least five posts total. Just share the thread link and character name in a reply to this announcement thread! To earn a badge for your OOC account, you must have five threads interacting with the caverns, with at least five total posts in each thread — since this is an OOC badge, it does not have to be the same character, you can use any of your OC’s to reach this requirement!

Our haunted caverns of horrors will only be present until midnight on Halloween, October 31st. Please have all badge requests submitted by November 1st

While this is a fun, and exciting new world event we’re offering, staff are also rolling out a brand new OOC participation event!! Please click here to read about Vivarium’s newly released Thread Mixer, as well as how it can be used for our Halloween event!

Happy Halloween!

Checking up on this one! Idk if those was where the original requests went anymore or if my post went MIA, but I wanted to see about Ragnar getting that Halloween event badge added to his profile. Here was his thread:
