    Everyone knows that the players in ESO were hatched from eggs, so no Father’s Day. It was explained in a quest, I think.

    Happy Father's Day @BisDasBlutGefriert

    I didn't ask. The picture has a Bethesda certificate, no. 700/995. I think the mask came from Redbubble and yeah, I thought it was awesome, too.

    It's fathers day somewhere today?

    Congrats to all fathers out there. The world wouldn't be the same without dad-jokes and toilet seats always closed! <3

    Eggs still require a father for them to be able to hatch.

    Sadly, this. No children, no fathers. Any NPCs that imply otherwise are lying. :smile:

    OP is asking if there is an equal holiday in the Elder Scrolls world. OP needs the Lore nerds.

    I don't see anything in the holiday list: https://en.m.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Calendar

    Though I did find this little gem:
    Children's Day
    Hearth Fire 19th
    Children's Day in Betony is a festive occasion with a grim history. All know though few choose to recall that Children's Day began as a memorial to the dozens of children in Betony who were stolen from their homes by vampires one night never to be seen again. This happened over a hundred years ago, and the holiday has since become a celebration of youth.

    All their holidays seem to be based on conflict, conquest and crops... and stealing children. By name alone, Emperor’s Day might equate or, possibly, Perseverance Day.

    Father's Day is a non-holiday that was perpetuated solely by greeting card companies, retailers, and other early-/mid-20th century merchants. There are far fewer real-world cultural traditions behind it than other holidays that we see referenced in TES/ESO, and no real reason to include it and validate what is essentially an extended Hallmark marketing campaign

    TL;DR Father's Day is a myth perpetuated by Big Greeting Card to guilt people into paying $6 for a piece of paper that says "Thanks, Dad" and TES doesn't need it

    ESO has children.

    You never see them because they're all working in the food mines.

    Yes, food mines. Where do you get all your provisioning ingredients, from a farmer's field? Of course not. Food grows in boxes in mines and caves.

    Fields are where you go to mine ore.

    If there were no children... then everyone would be born as an adult? Women would need to be much larger to accommodate the necessary womb size.

    As a side note, regarding the mask, I wish it read "Increases disease resistance for allies within 3 meters by 50%." Because, afterall, masks are worn to protect others, not ourselves.

    A common misconception. Those are enslaved Banekin. No one ever gets close enough to tell, though.

    Which, of course, is why doctors and nurses wear masks. Oh, wait...
