Two new events are coming to AFK Arena for Valentines Day 2020! They will last for 10 days.
It’s very similar to the previous one in 2019 and also the Feast of the Beasts Event.
You can probably expect a lot of begging for roses and people changing their avatars ;).

Event Lore
The legends about the Mind Cager, Queen Mehira, are pretty well established in the mortal realm, and many and varied stories abound. Some believe that she is a rapacious Hypogean, adept at the arts of trickery and tempting mortals into a bottomless chasm of desire; others alternatively revere her as a goddess who spreads joy and love upon others to be bowed to in loyal discipleship.
For those many who have at one point or another been bewitched with her charms, Mehira possesses a unique and heart pounding kind of appeal – the kind that can inspire her followers to open themselves up to love’s warm embrace more readily.
Legend describes two love tokens of Mehira: one a carefully cultivated rose of her garden that blossoms among the thorns with a unique, wonderful aroma. This rose is given to the object of one’s affections to captivate their heart. The second is Mehira’s hand-made chocolates, full of mystical arcanery to plunge its eater into sweet, heady affection. It is also said Mehira’s motive in making these love tokens was to change the stony hearts of mortals. She is also in the habit of generously dispatching them yearly on this day to commemorate our encounters with her. Mehira’s disciples have consigned this special day a sweet festival for the exchange of affection between lovers and for the general promotion of romance.
Love is a very special feeling and most hard to tell of. Even the Hypogeans themselves, let alone mortals, can be swept up into its embrace to become the slaves thereof.
