There are those who believe that the word “Halloween” comes from the contraction of “All Hallow’s Eve”. The truth my friends is that it does come from a shortening of words; but it’s from “Hall of the Wein”.

The ancient ones knew that during fall, the dead and the living were allowed to visit each other’s realms, hence a “bridge” would be accesible to both worlds connecting them for 72 hours (31rst of October to 2nd of November), upon this time coming to an end, the visitors were transported to their respective worlds. The Wein is the keeper and controller of this flow, it is neither alive nor dead, but both. Because it doesn’t have anything else to do for the other 363 days it folds and unfolds the reality in the Hall, each year making it “new” everytime.
Now, you may be asking what about ghosts, spectres, wraiths, zombies, etc… that are in our world, well, the Wein can’t leave the hall connecting both worlds, it can only “return” creatures to their original plane if they crossed the Hall and it is not in it’s responsabilities to search for fugitive dead or living creatures. There are however rumors that although this is the “official” way to travel between the two realms there are other ways to travel to any of them…
