Daemon Moon Rising

This page covers the Daemon Moon Rising live event only. Other Daemon Moon events: Daemon Moon Decaying and Daemon Moon Bleeding (overview).

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 forefront of the Chaos forces, eluding the sloth with which is brothers proceed. This year, the Daemon Moon Rises, as with all things when corruption brushes against the veil.

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

There are 13 Daemon Moon masks. Three are obtained through quests, two through the R'nyth public quest, four through random box rolls, and four as player drops. Masks decay into permanent versions without their buffs. The R'nyth public quest includes the Dancer's Mask of Joy and Dancer's Mask of Sorrow.

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. Join your realm in battling the R'nyth the Sweet Whisperer in the Chaos Wastes, while you hold back the opposing realm. This PQ will include a handful of rewards exclusive to the PQ, such as the new Dancer's Mask of Joy and Dancer's Mask of Sorrow masks.

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.
