Crown Store Showcase: October 2017

10/02/2017

As the air chills and leaves turn, everyone across Tamriel is preparing for the Witches Festival. This month, merchants have filled their caravans to the brim with exotic costumes and masks, mysterious mounts, and other ghastly goods. Preview what's on its way – and plan for your ultimate Witches Festival look – with our latest Crown Store Showcase!

From the grandiose to the ghastly, there's something for everyone in this month's upcoming Crown Store stock. Take a peek!

 

 

If you have your eye on the Shadowghost mounts, look for their matching pets in the Reaper's Harvest Crown Crates!


 

 

Choices, choices... Who will you become this Witches Festival?


In addition to the all-new rare and mysterious collectibles above, you'll also have an opportunity to get your hands on some of last year's most popular Witches Festival items!

There's one last secret brewing. This Frostfall, a rare celestial alignment will occur on Serpent 13 that the most superstitious in Tamriel call “Fatal Fredas." Some believe this day to be a portent of chaos and ill omen. What will it bring this time? None can know for certain, but all are watching and waiting… and so should you!


Crafting

Crown Crafting Motif: Grim Harlequin

Do you like dark humor, grim but funny? We've got a stylish motif for you! As Chamberlain Haskill explains, “My Lord Sheogorath has directed me to compile a guide for those seeking to create 'Grim Harlequin' arms and armor, so that the Mad God's mortal servants may have a way to make all their equipment look the same. Of course, this standardization runs counter to all other cult practices, and is insane on the face of it. What's your point?"

The Grim Harlequin Crown Crafting Motif will be available on all platforms from October 9 to October 13.


Housing

Exorcised Coven Cottage

House hunting? Pay no attention to the rumors: this witches hut on the edge of Hag Fen in Glenumbra is guaranteed NOT to be haunted by the dead, the undead, or restless spirits of any kind. It does come with tumbledown walls to keep the crocodiles and wolves out. Spooky, yet cozy!

The Exorcised Coven Cottage will be available on all platforms for a limited time, from October 19 to November 1.


Mounts

Shadowghost Horse

Shadowghost Horses are never bred, only found, and then only on misty nights when both moons are dark. Then they are summoned from beyond by hooded Shadowghost Wranglers, roped and saddled and broken for riding by ordinary mortals. No, really!

The Shadowghost Horse will be available on all platforms for a limited time, from October 5 to October 9.


Shadowghost Guar

Blending in with the shifting gray ash clouds on the slopes of Red Mountain, the Shadowghost Guar are the only known nocturnal breed of the species, and thus are rarely seen, even by the native Dark Elves. This makes them one of the most distinctive and desirable mounts in Morrowind—and beyond.

The Shadowghost Guar will be available on all platforms for a limited time, from October 12 to October 16.


Zombie Horse

Mannimarco's Order of the Black Worm must be responsible for the re-animated Zombie Horse, as it was first seen in Cyrodiil as a Worm Anchorite's mount. But what else would you ride when dressed as a Scarecrow Spectre?

The Zombie Horse will be available on all platforms for a limited time, from October 16 to October 20.


Shadowghost Wolf

Unlike nearly all other wolves, the Shadowghost Wolf has no pack and lives a solitary life, haunting lonely moors and wastelands, appearing only at night and rarely then. Some doubt it is a real creature of the mortal plane at all.

The Shadowghost Wolf will be available on all platforms for a limited time, from October 19 to October 23.


Shadowghost Senche

An oversized breed of black senche-panthers, the Shadowghost Senche is said by the Khajiit to be sacred—or rather unholy—to Namiira the Great Darkness, who sends them as mounts to bear away those who are doomed to die. Dare you ride one of these dark cats in the dead of night?

The Shadowghost Senche will be available on all platforms for a limited time, from October 26 to October 30.


Personalities

Zombie Personality

Graargh URR agg rhhh HAAAGH gug gug gug. RrrrrRRrrrrawww! GHORF blafffft urgl! Sneg?

The Zombie Personality will be available on all platforms for a limited time, from October 23 to October 27.


Pets

Shadowghost Pony

Are they real pets, or the stuff of dreams? It's said that to catch a Shadowghost Pony, one should seek out a cemetery on a dark night during Witches Festival and wait quietly near the grave of a child. Bring a carrot or sweet apple.

The Shadowghost Pony will be available on all platforms for a limited time, from October 5 to October 9.


Jackdaw Daedrat

The planes of Oblivion are infinite in their variation—and so are their vermin. The Jackdaw Daedrat is a bony Daedric rodent that likes to collect shiny things like your jewelry, and nip and nibble at things it shouldn't. But at least it's cute, right?

The Jackdaw Daedrat will be available on all platforms for a limited time, from October 12 to November 1.


Polymorphs

Werewolf Lord Polymorph

Don the Werewolf Lord polymorph, and show them who's the big dog! Wear Hircine's Gift with pride as the savage leader of the lycanthrope pack. Time to howl!

The Werewolf Lord Polymorph will be available on all platforms for a limited time, from October 2 to October 6.


Pumpkin Spectre

Shor's bones! A Pumpkin Spectre is like a horrific figure from a skooma-induced nightmare! And with this costume, the wearer can take on the chilling semblance of these dread monsters.

The Pumpkin Spectre polymorph will be available on all platforms for a limited time, from October 23 to October 27.


Scarecrow Spectre

'Tis the season when terrible tales come to true life! The dark magic that makes a spectre animate a scarecrow is thought to be related to those spells that create lurchers from spriggans. Wherever they come from, this costume enables the wearer to assume the guise of one of these Scarecrow Spectres.

The Scarecrow Spectre polymorph will be available on all platforms for a limited time, from October 23 to October 27.


Style Parlor

Hats

Deep Elf Executioner's Hood

Ancient engravings tell us that a Dwarven executioner, or "Chun Abakch," always concealed his or her features under a hood of black spidersilk, a material that was also used by the Dwemer for funeral shrouds. Feeling sinister? This could be your look!

The Deep Elf Executioner's Hood will be available on all platforms for a limited time, from October 12 to November 1.


Moonshadow Wings Mask

The Lepidopterans are a sect of Azura cultists who conceal their features with elaborate butterfly masks. These have recently become a fad among the jaded youth of mainland Morrowind—and now you can wear one, too!

The Moonshadow Wings Mask will be available on all platforms for a limited time, from October 12 to November 1.


Jhunal's Owl Mask

Wise-Wing the Owl is associated in northern Tamriel with the god Jhunal or Julianos. During the Witches Festival she is said to warn the unwary away from graveyards and witches' covens. Her owl mask is sure to inspire others to trust in your wisdom! It's a real hoot.

The Jhunal's Owl Mask will be available on all platforms for a limited time, from October 16 to October 20.


Rajhin's Cat Mask

Feeling feline? Get cat-faced! During the Witches Festival, no one perpetrates more cunning and devious tricks than Rajhin the Footpad, the Purring Liar. This mask enables you to adopt one of the many faces of that consummate trickster.

The Rajhin's Cat Mask will be available on all platforms for a limited time, from October 16 to October 20.


Dibella's Doll Mask Pack

When worshipers of Dibella wish to honor the Lady of Love by engaging in anonymous bestowal of affection, they don an exquisite porcelain Dibella's Doll Mask. This bundle includes the Dibella's Doll Mask for Humans and Elves as well as two variations, for Khajiiti and Argonians.

The Dibella's Doll Mask Pack will be available on all platforms for a limited time, from October 19 to November 1.


Nightmare Demon Mask Pack

Incarnate the anger of Oblivion itself with this visage of nightmare terror evoking the dreaded Dremora at their most frightening. This bundle includes the Nightmare Daemon Mask for Humans and Elves along with the variations for Khajiiti and Argonians. Daemonic!

The Nightmare Demon Mask Pack will be available on all platforms for a limited time, from October 19 to November 1.
