I went with the Pact for my Imperial. I have this gut feeling that the Nords will play a key part in ultimately uniting Tamriel.

The Dominion seeks a world where (alt)Mer rules over man.

The Pact seeks to create a council of independent nations out of the provinces, each joined for military protection but separate from one another in other matters.

The Covenant seeks to forge a united Empire with a single, strong leader.

Choose what you think is the best goal for your character. If he/she seeks a return to the glory days of Reman Cyrodiil, then I suggest the Covenant.

what kind of question is that?

My question would be to not think lore-wise, but think character-wise.

What's her backstory in more detail?

Fled - to where? With whom? What happened?

I would say Daggerfall, if simply because they have the most humans in it.
Frankly Selique phrased it best.

According to the site, the Ebonheart Pact is meant to serve as an alliance of convenience, meant to outlast the Molag Bal invasion and defend against invading nations. Imperials who want to retain the Empire wouldn't side with this alliance, as they don't even want an Empire.

The Aldmeri want elven supremacy, specifically for a certain type of elf. This is the least likely to have an Imperial in.

Daggerfall Covenant want to have a stable and secure Empire that brings prosperity to all, the only alliance that would actually make sense for an Empire-serving Imperial.

But in the end, as with real countries, everyone is different. Your Imperial might've disliked life in an empire, or believed that only elves should lead. Just because one is an Imperial doesn't mean they are drones of their most prosperous nation's leadership.

Daggerfall, then dominion and pact last, since the pact don't seem as interested in bringing stability to Cyrodiil as they are in protecting their boarders.

Covenant basically want what most imperials do.

Dominion also want the empire reformed, but with elves at the head, I've seen quite a few dominion imperial NPCs, like that one guy in Grhatwood.

So yeah. Covenant.

Lorewise, I agree with the others for the Covenant. But what I'm going to say, don't take me for granted since it is just based off rumors. From my experiences of meeting new roleplayers and keeping in touch via RP websites, I hear that the Covenant RP communities aren't very good. I think it has something to do with communities limiting to certain races. Being human, you might be fine there as an Imperial, but I'm not too sure.

If you're looking for much more active RP areas, I know from personal experience that the Ebonheart Pact is very active. I've never tried in the Dominion zones but they seem pretty strong there as well... They just frown down upon humans there.

EP and AD have far more race specific guilds. Nords, Altmer, and Dunmer love keeping to themselves. All factions have their bad RP.

I'd say probably the Daggerfall Covenant, because they are trying to put Humans back in Cyrodiil.

The Ebonheart Pact may be a close second. The Aldmeri Dominion however, would probably not be a choice due to them wanting to put High Elves in power.

That's right, though I think the Ebonhart Pact is the best choice, with Daggerfall Covenant second.

Think of it like this. The Ebonhart Pact has vampires in it, but the vampires do not run the Ebonhart Pact. The Daggerfall Covenant has werewolves in it, but the werewolves don't run the Daggerfall Covenant. The Aldmeri Dominion has elves in it...

You see where this is going?

The Pact is the only real choice. Altmer only allied with the Khjiit cause they had too they use Khjiit and Bosmer and would gladly kill them both once they have power.

The "leaders" of Dagger Fall wants to unite the "Empire" but that just the empire of man Talo made the first and only continent wide empire. They will have to over come forces of Dominion and Dominion and Pact while battling the Armies of Molag Bal.

The Pact has a long history of distrust Nors hate magic and beast folk. Dummer hate Nords and don't see beast folk as equals. Argonians have no reason to fight they could at anytime retreat to the inner Marsh and they would never be hurled by anyone.

Argonians face no real danger if they fall back enemies can't follow them in to far.

Dummer are guided and guarded by Theee Gods what do they have to fear. The Living Gods would only need to wipe out a few waves before they enemies look at 100% losses with zero enemy soldiers killed and just walk away, make a deal or both.

Nords could more then hold their own in Skyrim. They have every reason to hate and distrust their alliance but they have made it work. Remember the Night Of Tears Nords do.

The Ebonheart Pact seen a threat put their problems aside and stood together, as one. This war will leave many angry hateful souls on Nirn The Pact is the only Alliance that has shown that they can and will over come the problems and hatred of the recent past.

Really? I thought there were many nord guilds that still welcomed in outsiders, but Dunmer can be the bad part of EP RP. Skyrim communities easily makes up for it.

My main is a Dunmer. This is not good news

Someone has been digging out of this forum post since it started way back May 2014

This thread is helpful to me, since I am rolling an Imp soon...

I also enjoy how seriously the lore is taken here.
