The New Life Festival is an Elder Scrolls Online event, which began at 10:00AM EST on Thursday, December 14 and will run until 10:00AM EST on Tuesday, January 2, 2018.

Joining
In order to join the festivities, acquire the free New Life Festival Scroll from the Crown Store. Using this scroll will allow you to find Breda to the south of Windhelm in Eastmarch. Breda will grant the player the quest "The New Life Festival." Remember that if you are having trouble traveling to Windhelm, you can take a boat or cart from the Alik'r Desert or Malabal Tor, travel by road from The Rift, or teleport to a fellow player or guildmate that's already in the area.

The nine daily quests given are for each of the nine different playable races. The quests listed on their news page are as follows±: ±It's notable that ZeniMax did not include Imperials on this list
