Detailed WalkthroughEdit

Getting the QuestEdit

The quest is received from Breda, south of Windhelm. The fastest way to get to her is using the Kynesgrove Wayshrine. She will give you one of nine available New Life Festival quests; to pick different one you can abandon the current daily quest to begin a different daily.

Speaking with Breda, she will tell you about the story behind the tradition celebrated in Stonefalls.

"Once, very briefly, the city of Ebonheart decreed dancing to be illegal. The Dark Elves promptly invented the Lava Foot Stomp, which they called a necessity should their boots ever catch aflame.
They practiced it in taverns, while wearing a small pin."
What sort of pin?
"A dazzling pin such as this showed they were in friendly company. Now, it's a symbol of participation.
Best to experience the Lava Foot Stomp for yourself. I'll mark the taverns on your map. Now, go forth and dance!"
All right, I'll dance the Lava Foot Stomp.
"Off you go. See the celebration for yourself!"

After agreeing to go there you will be handed a Dazzling Pin. Head to the city of Davon's Watch in Stonefalls to begin.

Dancing in StonefallsEdit

The first place you must dance in is the Watch House, in Davon's Watch. Go inside the inn and press E to dance. If you wish to complete the optional objective and get the Sailor's Warning Festival Grog, you must dance near another player. To do this, just make sure you are close to another player (who also has to be dancing) before you start dancing. If you wish to get the achievement, Lava Foot Shuffle, you must dance with other players at all four locations.

Once you have finished dancing, you must then head to the next location, the Fish Stink Tavern. Again, go inside the tavern and dance. Once you have danced here, you must then go to Ebonheart. Use a wayshrine or walk there, and then go into the Ebony Flask. Dance there, and then go to the final location, Hlaalu House. Go downstairs to dance for the fourth and final time.

Returning to EastmarchEdit

Once you have danced in all four places, you must then go back to Breda in Eastmarch and speak to her.

"You have the smell of soot about you! Did you just return from Ebonheart?"
I completed the Lava Foot Stomp.
"So you brought some much needed joy into the dour lands of Stonefalls? This is why the Lava Foot Stomp occurs each year. At least for a time, the warm feeling comes from within—and not all the nearby volcanoes."

You will then receive your reward.

NotesEdit

Note that the Hlaalu House required by the quest is not the private residence in Ebonheart called "Hlaalu House". Rather, it is the downstairs area of Ebonheart's unnamed city hall.

Notes
* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
  • Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
  • Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
