Live Event "Hallowed Moon: The Undead Arise"

"The air blowing through the Empire's provinces comes to a sudden halt; seeming as if time itself slowed down to an epitome... moments later, the long dead started to emerge from their slumber, crawling out of their crypts and graves into the sickly moonlight of Morrslieb, the Chaos Moon."
