🖤 Friday the 13th Is Back… and So Is Aurelio Voltaire!

You know what they say— undead never stay dead. And when Friday the 13th hits Lore, things get weird. Dark magic. Undead armies. It's total Chaos with a capital C. Sound familiar? You better believe it’s that time again.  /Join Voltairetown to replay every Friday the 13th event from the past, then head to /lichwar for a clash of egos! We've got two bickering liches out to prove which one is the real bone-daddy. Spoiler: it's messy. You'll love it.

And Aurelio Voltaire’s music? Pure graveyard groove. This is horror heaven.

🎸 Aurelio Voltaire + Friday the 13th = Perfect Combo

He’s spooky. He’s stylish. He’s baaaaaaack. Aurelio Voltaire returns for another Friday the 13th event, and we are so here for it. This legend has rocked almost every AQWorlds Friday the 13th, and heroes are obsessed. He's known for his music, books, comics, toys, movies... and basically being a one-man haunted house of awesome.

Big thanks to Aurelio Voltaire from all of us on the AQWorlds team! You make our spooky season 🔥 every time.
