Seize honor and glory in the name of the Whitestrake as you battle it out in Cyrodiil, the Imperial City, and Battlegrounds. Are you prepared to raise arms against your fellow players?
Whitestrake’s Mayhem
The Whitestrake’s Mayhem in-game event returns on Thursday, November 12 at 10AM ET, and runs until Monday, November 23 at 10AM ET. As a reminder, this leaner, meaner version of ESO’s longtime PvP event will run much more frequently throughout the year (with the next one tentatively scheduled for February 2027).
During the event period, engage in ESO’s Alliance War, Battlegrounds, and Imperial City PvP modes, and you will enjoy a host of bonus rewards:
- 100% boost to Experience Point gains in Battlegrounds, Imperial City, and Alliance War
- 100% boost to Alliance Point gains in Battlegrounds, Imperial City, and Alliance War
- 100% boost to Tel Var Stone gains in the Imperial City
- Pelinal’s Boon Boxes, a special event reward box
Enlist Now!
Joining the fight is as simple as jumping into an Alliance War campaign, queuing up for a Battlegrounds match, or entering the Imperial City. The bonus XP, Alliance Points, and Tel Var Stones are automatically applied during this event.
In addition, you can acquire the introductory quest “Whitestrake’s Mayhem” for free from the Crown Store.

Colovian War Torte
Each Pelinal's Boon Box you open has an extremely rare chance to drop items related to the Colovian War Torte, including the base recipe, Chef Arquitius's Torte Dissertation, or Chef Arquitius's Lost Thesis. The dissertation and thesis are even more rarely seen than the recipe (consider them a jackpot).
You can combine and consume these items to gain the ability to craft the base Colovian War Torte, the Molten War Torte, or the White-Gold War Torte at a cookfire.
- Colovian War Torte
- Grants a 50% boost to Alliance Point gains for 30 minutes
- Molten War Torte
- Combine a Colovian War Torte recipe with the Arquitius's Dissertation to make the Molten War Torte recipe (which you can then consume to learn how to craft it)
- Grants a 100% boost to Alliance Point gains for 30 minutes
- White-Gold War Torte
- Combine a Molten War Torte recipe with the Chef Arquitius's Lost Thesis to make the White-Gold War Torte recipe (which you can then consume to learn how to craft it)
- Grants a 150% boost to Alliance Point gains for 30 minutes
