The launch date for The Elder Scrolls Online draws nearer each day. Mere weeks prevent us from experiencing the beta (or at least we all hope). People often have a tough time choosing alliances. I'd be interested in knowing what your plans are for your character, class, and what alliance you plan on choosing. Anyway, below is all of the information you need to know about the 3 major alliances in The Elder Scrolls Online.
The Daggerfall Covenant:
LORE:
The Daggerfall Covenant is an alliance between the Orcs, Bretons, and Redguards. Founded by the Breton, High King Emeric in 2E 567, the Daggerfall Covenant is considered the most powerful of the 3 alliances. They wear the color blue and a lion as their mark. The Daggerfall Covenant seeks to re-establish the Second Empire and restore peace to Tamriel.
STARTING LOCATION:
Upon creating a character and siding with the Daggerfall Covenant, you begin your journey in Stros M'kai.
TERRITORIES:
Hammerfell; Home of the Redguards
High Rock; Home of the Bretons
The Orcs live within High Rock (distant from the Bretons) and have no true province of their own.
ZONES:
Glenumbra, Rivenspire, Stormhaven, Bangkorai, Alik'r Desert, Betnikh, and Stros M'kai.
The Aldmeri Dominion:
LORE:
The Aldmeri Dominion is an alliance between the Altmer (High Elves), Bosmer (Wood Elves), and Khajiit. Founded by the Altmer, Queen Ayrenn in 2E 582, the Aldmeri Dominion is the youngest of the 3 alliances. They wear the color yellow/gold and a bird with wings curved over its head as their mark. The Aldmeri Dominion seeks to take control of the Imperial City, restore Elven rule, and defeat the encroaching armies of the Daedra, Molag Bal.
STARTING LOCATION:
Upon creating a character and siding with the Aldmeri Dominion, you begin your journey in Khenarthi's Roost.
TERRITORIES:
Summerset Isle; Home of the Altmer (High Elves)
Valenwood; Home of the Bosmer (Wood Elves)
Elsweyr; Home of the Khajiit
ZONES:
Reaper's March, Grahtwood, Khenarthi's Roost, Greenshade, Auridon, and Malabal Tor.
The Ebonheart Pact:
LORE:
The Ebonheart Pact is an alliance between the Nords, Dunmer (Dark Elves), and Argonians. Founded by the Nord, Jorunn the Skald-King in 2E 572, the Ebonheart Pact is a very uneasy union between heavily conflicting races and was formed out of need rather than desire. They wear the color red and the head of a dragon as their mark. The Ebonheart Pact's desires differ from race to race, but the agreed upon goal is to win the Ruby Throne and defeat the armies of Molag Bal.
STARTING LOCATION:
Upon creating a character and siding with the Ebonheart Pact, you begin your journey in Bleakrock Isle.
TERRITORIES:
Skyrim; Home of the Nords.
Morrowind; Home of the Dunmer (Dark Elves)
Black Marsh; Home of the Argonians.
ZONES:
Eastmarch, The Rift, Bleakrock Isle, Bal Foyen, Shadowfen, Deshaan, and Stonefalls.
