Ω Ω Ω
All Hallows' Eve began a millennia ago, when the seal between the living and the dead broke.

The dead began to walk among us, seeking revenge against those who wronged them or even came close.

Then, in rage they lashed out at innocents - children, too.

The Phoenix coven - a group of witches native to a location in Ru'an that would soon be known as Phoenix Drop - created a new seal, but this being man made it had weak spots. They focused said weakness on one day of the year, where it would thin enough for travel between.

However, the coven also set a law bound by nature that said evil spirits cannot enter land claimed by the living (such as homes).

This kept them away, but on ground between they can do as much damage as they could have without the seal to people and life around them.

So, people began leaving sweets, food, and gifts on their doorsteps. Soul cakes were given to the homeless to keep them in high spirits and to give to demons nearby if needed.

The givings sated the spirits and they left the living be.

That is, most of them.
