The Daggerfall Covenant

Comprised of the three races of the northwest region of Tamriel, the Bretons, the Orcs, and the Redguards stand united under the flag of High King Emeric with one common goal - to seize control of the Ruby Throne once more. The Redguards superior battle skills and natural athleticism combined with the talented weapons masters and fine smith work of the Orcs gives the Daggerfall Covenant an army of fierce warriors waiting for action. Add the arcane spell masters of the Bretons and you've got a powerfully destructive force brewing in the west. The Daggerfall Covenant Races: Bretons, Red Guards, and Orcs

The Ebonheart Pact

The Ebonheart Pact is comprised of the Nord, the Dark Elves, and the Argonians. An alliance forged from need, these three unlikely allies were forced into an uneasy affiliation when the Akaviri invaded. With a long history of bad blood bubbling at the surface between the Nords and the Dark Elves, and with the memory of being enslaved for thousands of years by the Dark Elves still fresh in the minds of the Agonians, this precarious alliance is still a force to be feared, especially when defending their beloved homelands. The Dark Elves fuel their armies with powerful magics, as the Nords rattle their shields and fill the front lines with expert weapon masters, while the stealthy Argonians slip behind the enemy and engage in guerrilla warfare meant to shatter the enemy.  If the Ebonheart Pact can remain loyal to each other, they present a powerful front.

The Aldmeri Dominion

Led by the noble High Elves of Summerset, the Aldmeri Dominion was formed after the Imperial City had fallen to the human supporters of Molag Bal. Determined to save the world from the destructive, capricious forces of the younger races of Tamriel, the High Elves reached out to forge an alliance with their neighboring countrymen, the Wood Elves, and the Khajiit, in order to put an end to the ensuing chaos. Backed by the powerful magic that seem to thrive in the blood of the high elves, the Aldmeri Dominion also boasts the fierce battle prowess of the Khajiit, and the skillful hunstmen of the Wood Elves and presents a united, powerful force.
