    They will announce dates early next week. I suspect it will start October 19 as that is when the witch's themed house will be available.

    I'm really bummed there is no witches festival today. :'( I have no idea why they just couldn't run it.. especially since it's Friday the 13th.. it seemed like the right day to start.

    Seeing as how Frostfall 13th is the actual date of the Witches' Festival I don't know what they're thinking. Might as well call it the Holloween Event now.
    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.

    I am pretty disappointed. Especially with the crown store offerings being so lackluster on top of it. Weren't they supposed to do SOMETHING special today though? I seem to remember some sort of hint in the announcement.

    "There's one last secret brewing. This Frostfall, a rare celestial alignment will occur on Serpent 13 that the most superstitious in Tamriel call “Fatal Fredas." Some believe this day to be a portent of chaos and ill omen. What will it bring this time? None can know for certain, but all are watching and waiting… and so should you!"

    Hmmm... does this mean I need to be logged in all darned day?

    Yeah, I saw that as well and was pretty hyped for what it could be. Gods, please tell me they weren't talking about the one day only crown store stuff.. that was just meh (imho).

    However, if they were talking about the crown store stuff.. I guess that tells us all where their attention and mindset is.. :(

    No actual news but from the pts player friends I have the Witches Festival is suppose to be the same as last year with the same rewards minus the last year's masks are being removed and we're getting 2 new masks (you can see the names in your collections menu right now). It's not official yet but the Witches Festival will probably start on October the 19th since that's when the house that you can buy if you have the Witches Festival Achievement is available.

    I'm no loremaster and this is partly an assumption on my part but, each month in the Tamrielic calendar has an associated constellation. There is a 13th constellation, The Serpent, that is not associated with any month, that "wanders" through the sky. It's possible, and this is where I'm making an assumption, they can attribute these "oddball" days like Fredas the 13th (which "wanders" through the calendar), to The Serpent.

    As I said, I'm not a loremaster and can't think of anything in the lore that supports this. Maybe someone who can/does can comment?

    To be honest, it would of been cool to have it start on Friday the 13th. But my biggest disappointment is we're going to be getting same old Motifs, and same food recipes as last year. It would most definitely be cool to get the new masks. But whats the point of re running the same motifs and recipes? Why not change it, it's not hard to do. I wish and hope thats the reason why they post-poned it. It would get me more hyped on this event. I loved how they made the event to beat the big bosses to get loot boxes, I thought it was fun. But for most of us (Pretty much most of Tamerial) who've already have the motifs and recipes from last year are getting screwed. -_- But eh, I guess we'll wait and see, maybe they'll change it so we all get a fair event.. lool Won't hold my breathe. ;)
