The UESP and TIL have been given permission to share something very special with you all. There's been longstanding rumors about the original D&D games that helped influence The Elder Scrolls, with it even rumored that Arena started out as one.

Please end our torment.

Did You Know: Mara has been known to assist the dead in reuniting spirits with their loved ones to allow them to be together in the afterlife? She has also allowed the dead to return as spirits to meet with their still living but soon to be departing loved ones to guide them into the afterlife.

"What do you think when a fellow steps on his Imperial Majesty's foot and says 'I'm sorry, Your Imperial Majesty'? Don't you think 'Pardon me, Your Imperial Majesty' is more appropriate? 'I'm sorry,' well that almost sounds like the bastard Argonian was sorry I am his Imperial Majesty."

Our Mananauts have confirmed the Serpent has emerged from his Celestial Egg this New Life. The Serpent, unlike other constellations, is made up of unstars with no varliance, and is some unknown type of light.
The Serpent will bring the greatest curses and blessings to those he shines upon this year!

I still think about you sometimes unused Shivering Isles bug people 💔

The first day of the year has numerous importances in Tamriel. One particularly notable one is that it is the Summoning Day of Clavicus Vile. We recommend listening to the dog if you try to make a deal with him, though.

The UESP wishes for you to have the best year possible this New Life! We hope that whatever adventures and challenges you face this year, you will stand above them triumphant in the end.

Did You Know: The Old Life and New Life Festivals are holidays at the end and beginning of each year? The people of Tamriel celebrate the death of the old year and the birth of the new one.
