The 'Celebrate the New Life Festival' article has a misprint...

There is a misprint on the 'Celebrate the New Life Festival' post on the main Elder Scrolls Online news page. When the article references the available quests it states that the Mud Ball Merriment is the Bosmer celebration and War Orphan's Sojourn is the celebration of the Altmer. Albeit a minor error, I just wanted to call attention to it.

So...what's the misprint?

The Mud Ball Merriment is a Bosmer tradition, even though you celebrate it in Skywatch in the related quest.

I haven't found enough information on War Orphan's Sojourn, but although the quest is located in Grahtwood, it looks like an Altmer endeavour.

If you listen to Breda she tells you that Mudball Merriment is a Bosmer tradition. I don't remember what she said for War Orphan's Sojourn, but if these two are your problem then by logical exclusion (or basic math, whichever you fancy more) this is the Altmer tradition. Unless you mean to tell us that this is both a misprint AND a mistake in the game?

I'm guessing the War Orphan's Sojourn is an Altmer goodwill tradition bringing hope to the poor unfortunates of backwoods Grahtwood.

Well I assumed talking to a Bosmer in grahtwood would have made it a bosmer tradition and visiting Auridon for the mudball quest would make it an Altmer tradition. Maybe I jumped to conclusion too hastily but it's rather confusing. My apologies for the mistake if it is the case, but why would I go talk to a Bosmer for an Altmer tradition other than to have a basic explanantion that the celebration isn't race-specific.

He's not a Bosmer. As Breda says, he's an Altmer from Haven, encouraging you to donate to the less fortunate at the Temple.

Similarly, the Mudball Merriment is a tradition brought to Skywatch by the Bosmer.

Ya, thanks for the clarification. After playing it today and your insight I see it was my mistake. Happy gaming!
