[[File:Daemon Moon Rising.png|thumb|''This year, the Daemon Moon Rises, as with all things when corruption brushes against the veil.'']]
'''Daemon Moon Rising''' is a Warhammer-themed live event based on Slaanesh and the Daemons of Chaos.

''Every year, as the fog covers the land and the autumn nights herald the chill of winter, the Daemon Moon rises. For scholars, the Daemon Moon is a dangerous time of year when the threat of a daemonic incursion is greatest. For the common-folk it is a time of revelry and chaos, all in the spirit of the times. Needless to say, the scholars are right to fear what is to come, for during the time of the Daemon Moon, daemonic forces are unleashed upon the mortal realm to play with the lives of the living as they please. This year scholars have noted a disturbing lilac tinge on the Daemon Moon, an ill omen of Slaanesh's power. Slaanesh has danced his way to the forefront of the Chaos forces, eluding the sloth with which his brothers proceed.''

This is a time of year when the veil between the Realm of Chaos and the world is dangerously thin, though foolish, naïve folk do not always heed the warnings of their leaders, be they pious priests, zealous witch hunters, or wizard lords. Instead the common folk use this opportunity to play pranks on each other, blaming mischievous daemons of course. They hide behind their masks teasing friend and foe alike, not knowing that lesser daemons corrupt the mind behind the mask. Humans across the Old World, from the bustling streets of Altdorf in the Empire, to the twisted alleys of the Inevitable City in the Chaos Wastes, toy with powers they do not understand. If Slaanesh is to be held at bay, you and your allies must work together to withstand the Daemon Moon Rising.

=== Daemon Moon Masks ===

The event has 13 masks: three from quests, two from the R'nyth public quest, four from random box rolls, and four from player drops. Each temporary mask has a 14-day timer that begins when you get it. When the timer runs out, the mask becomes a permanent version without its ability. The last eight masks below are listed as "Pan de Monium or player drop"; the individual source for each one is not identified. All mask abilities have a 10-minute cooldown. Ranges and durations are included below where available.

See [[#R'nyth the Sweet Whisperer ORvR PQ|R'nyth the Sweet Whisperer]] for the public quest and [[#Pan de Monium|Pan de Monium]] for the bread and its possible rewards.

= '''R'nyth the Sweet Whisperer ORvR PQ''' =
The Dark Prince's very own favored one, R'nyth the Sweet Whisperer, has emerged from the Chaos Realm this Daemon Moon. Fight R'nyth the Sweet Whisperer in the Chaos Wastes while your realm holds back the opposing realm. Exclusive rewards for this public quest include the Dancer's Mask of Joy and Dancer's Mask of Sorrow.

= '''Pan de Monium''' =
What are Daemon Moon celebrations without a bit of Pan de Monium? This Estalian bread is specially baked during the Daemon Moon, with bakers leaving small gifts, or tricks, for their unwitting customers. Pan de Monium can be acquired either by completing the Imp Games quest, or purchasing it from the Suspicious Masked Peddler. Pan de Monium contains over two dozen possible rewards, ranging from potions and talismans, to dyes and masks, or perhaps even a precious aegis for the lucky few. What does Pan de Monium have in store for you?

= '''Live Event Shoppe''' =
A Suspicious Masked Peddler has set up shop in the Altdorf Slums, and a secluded room near the Apex of the Inevitable City. This vendor will gladly accept your gold and daemon fingers while the Daemon Moon is up, but please be aware that once the Daemon Moon fully decays, he too will fade from your life. Here players can buy new unique dyes, or a bit of Pan de Monium.


= '''Exclusive Daemon Moon Rising Event Dyes''' =

This event adds 28 dyes, seven for each of the four major Chaos gods. Slaanesh's dyes cost gold; the other gods' dyes also require a small sacrifice. Three event-only specular dyes are sold by the dye vendor for Bittersweet Essence from the R'nyth public quest. [https://imgur.com/a/0cT0KfM Dye previews]
