Bring Cheer to Tamriel during the New Life Festival In-Game Event

Enjoy bonus XP and unique rewards during the New Life Festival as you spread cheer during this merry in-game event.

Celebrate New Life The New Life Festival in-game event begins this Thursday, December 16 at 10AM EST, and continues until Tuesday, January 4 at 10AM EST. To join the joyful fete, acquire the New Life Festival quest from the in-game Crown Store and use it to make your merry way to the New Life Herald Breda, found south of the city of Windhelm, Eastmarch. You can also teleport directly to the New Life Festival tent via the portal found at Impresario locations.

New Life Herald Breda

Complete the intro quest and you’ll unlock 10 special daily quests (nine from Breda and one from Petronius Galenus) that see you travel across Tamriel and bring cheer to its myriad inhabitants.
