The '''Shard of the Dead''' was a special event [[shard]] created for Halloween in 2005. It featured magic pumpkins, costume gates and other Halloween-related content. It also allowed characters to alter their [[skills]] and [[stats]] at will.

It was in a similar vein to the [[Shard of the Dead]] and was followed the following year by [[Shard of the Dead II]] in 2006.

		+	===November 3 Update===
		+	====Vampire Wars====
		+	That's right! Vampire Wars is back! The gate near West Britain Bank now teleports you to moonglow where the battle is taking place. Here are the details:
		+
		+	It is a vampire verse slayer all out bash. Players can pick their team and fight the opposite in a Factions style battle taking place in Felucca Moonglow. Each team has a base located in Moonglow that players can signup at by double clicking the signup stone. Each base stone also acts as a ressurection Ankh. Each side has a scoreboard gravestone which tracks each side's kill count.
		+
		+	====Rewards====
		+	* Killing a vampire NPC gives you a chance to get a cursed artifact
		+	* Turning an NPC into a vampire gives you a chance to get a minor artifact
		+	* Bringing 10 unique vampire heads or 10 unique vampire slayer souls to a faction stone gives you one of the following rewards randomly:
		+	** Major Artifact (not cursed)
		+	** Glass Weapon - Weapon that can be used once but does insane damage.
		+	** Bombs - Each faction has a bomb that when used causes an area effect explosion similar to the ones at the faction stones. The explosion only affects members of the opposite faction.
		+
		+	====Vampire====
		+	Vampires can not heal and take damage slowly. Luckily they can heal themselves by attacking other NPCs and players. They receive full health upon turning another mobile into a vampire. Vampires can turn vampire slayers into vampires by doing a certain amount of damage to them (the amount of damage is tweakable by me, right now its at 50%) Vampires can not attack other vampires. Turning a player vampire slayer into a vampire awards you with his soul which can be used for special rewards. The only way to rejoin the living is to die and ressurect. -- Supreem, UO Programmer
		+
		+	====Slayer====
		+
		+	Slayers get a bonus to damage against vampires. This makes up for the fact that vampires only need to get you to half health to turn you. (Currently Slayers do 175% damage to vampires) Killing a player vampire awards you with his bloody head which can be used for special rewards. The only way to leave the slayers is to die and ressurect. -- Supreem, UO Programmer
		+
		+	Non-participants do 50% damage to slayers and vampires
		+
		+	BTW We removed all of the glass sword towers and placed one in the middle of the fray.
