Witches Festival
Frostfall (October) 13th
Today is the 13th of Frostfall, known throughout Tamriel as the Witches' Festival when the forces of sorcery and religion clash. The Mages Guild gets most of the business since weapons and items are evaluated for their mystic potential free of charge and magic spells are one half their usual price. Demonologists, conjurors, lamias, warlocks, and thaumaturgists meet in the wilderness outside (the city), and the creatures created or summoned there may plague Tamriel for eons. Most wise men choose not to wander this night. In Daggerfall, this is the Summoning Day for Mephala.

Take your weapons and items to the Mages Guild and buy cheap spells! Beware of Mephala cultists!

Thought I would post a creepy-ish pic in honour of Witches Festival. If you wish post yours too!

    So wait... the Witch's Festival is actually on the 13th of Frostfall, which is October 13th, but doesn't start today, which is October 13th? Why? What is the point of waiting until after?

    Most players don't care for the lore side and connect the holiday events to RL holidays, so easier for ZOS to run them as actual holiday events.

    At least that's been my interpretation of it.

    Concur with this; it's probably a marketing thing.

    I will note that will not stop me from logging in and /bugging the lore breach. >:)
