Midyear Mayhem is a seasonal Holiday Event in The Elder Scrolls Online, used to celebrate Summertime. This is a PvP focused event, and players will be encouraged to participate in Cyrodiil, Imperial City and Battlegrounds activities.
This holiday celebrates Pelinal's of Elves at the Bridge of Heldon: [And after] the first Pogrom, which consolidated the northern holdings for the men-of-'kreath, he stood with white hair gone brown with elfblood at the Bridge of Heldon, where Perrif's falconers had sent for the Nords, and they, looking at him, said that Shor had returned, but he spat at their feet for profaning that name. He led them anyway into the heart of the hinterland west, to drive the Ayleids inward, towards the Tower of White-Gold, a slow retreating circle that could not understand the power of Man's sudden liberty, and what fury-idea that brought.
Midyear Mayhem
Once a year, Imperial priests of St. Alessia gather in the summer in commemoration of the Whitestrake’s slaughter of Elves at the Bridge of Heldon..

Midyear Mayhem - How to begin
- Visit the in-game Crown Store and acquire and activate the “Details on the Midyear Mayhem" ticket
- Travel to your Alliance War faction's main gate in Cyrodiil using the Alliance War menu
- Find the NPC called “Predicant Maera" and pick up the quest “Midyear Mayhem"
- Note if you already completed the quest last year, you won't need to do it again
- Complete the quest to receive your Scroll of Pelinal's Ferocity and a Pelinal's Midyear Boon Box
- Use the scroll to enjoy a two-hour, 100% buff in the Alliance War, Imperial City, and Battlegrounds to:
- Alliance Points gained
- XP gains for PvP player kills
You are able to keep the Scroll of Pelinal's Ferocity and re-use it for the duration of the event. If you already completed the quest in last year's event, the scroll you received then will work, too. If you previously earned the scroll and misplaced it, don't worry, you can pick up another from Predicant Maera for 100 gold or 100 Alliance Points.
To ensure you're able to take the field, Zenimax are opening up two additional 7-day CP Alliance War campaigns during the event, and have additional ones ready to go if needed.
Midyear Mayhem Rewards
You’ll also receive Pelinal’s Midyear Boon Box through the regular Rewards for the Worthy mails and after completing standard quests from Alliance base camps that contain:

- Alchemy materials

- A Daedric Siege Weapon
- One of the Pelinal housing books

Don't you just love Zenimax. lol Another event with nothing to help you join it. No information (had to find info from 2018). So, I guess that I must join a 7-Day campaign. lol

fun yes but in cyrodiil and im not the only one the game crashes every 2hrs orso mainly when the current area get crowded more than 50 players. it is not my internet connection not one of my other games ever has this. this is very sad because its one of the best games yet to me.i play it daily several hrs. i really hope they fix whatever problem is the cause of this i heard their server is not fast enough. but i dont know for certain if this is really causing it. its very odd for this game which is received as good to have this type of defects as i call it. not only crashes happen daily but also major and minor graphical glitches the situation becomes tense cause many folks are really pissed of with this and on xbox live the are some real nasty comments in their comments section for news which should even get one banned for certain time period.
