Looks that way, despite the wording of the announcement.
So if you were hoping for Frostmarch or a Farholme Pass then you will be disappointed.
Guess there are now 8 Rare Quests.
- Mount Umber
- Shrikewood
- Frostmarch
- Farholme Pass (1) Tome of Tactics
- Shiloh Desert
- Morlovia
- Farholme Pass (2) Damascus Blade
- Omega
Which means they can legitimately say that there are 52 rare quests a year.
