Why is the Snowhawk Mage style associated with the Summerset event?

@ZOS_LeamonTuttle @ZOS_GinaBruno The Snowhawk Mage style is a clearly Nord style, named after a Nord city. And it's the reward for the celebration of, uh... Summerset? What's going on here??

    I think the idea is more to keep all outfits and crown crates and the such around the theme of the year....so id assume all of next years rewards during all events of the year are themed around the imperium...

    There are Snowhawk mobs in Old Orsinium, one of the public dungeons in Wrothgar, a zone released way back in 2015. I can't remember if they were something else before, but I ran the dungeon just now on an alt, and some mobs were definitely named "Snowhawk mage".

    Psijics predict an iceage in the very near future

    It's probably a lot simpler than it looks.

    This year is the Skyrim chapter, so they're giving us Skyrim themed stuff. Altmer and Summerset revolve heavily around mages, so we'll get a mage robe outfit.

    Put that together = winterized mage robes.

    I don't think they mean to imply that the Summerset event is supposed to celebrate Snowhawk mages, just that they made a Skyrim mage outfit and needed an event to put them behind. Seemed close enough.

    Maybe the Snowhawks migrate south during winter?

    I think its also easier for the design team when they can just work on staff around one theme for a year and the content team can place it at their leasure and also decide on events during the year and dont have to plan every event for the year already months ahead...

    I guess the same reasoning can be applied to the indrik mounts. Only now does it make any real sense to have one as a reward since indriks come from Summerset, but all the other events have nothing to do with Summerset and got indriks.
