Aldemeri dominion for the queen

I'm a huge sucker for elves & kitties. Wish I could vote twice just for Razum-dar and Queen Ayrenn.

Ebonheart Pact Blood for the Pact

I'm pretty much a Nord in real life. 6'5" 250 lbs, and I love the cold, and the mountains (just hiked the Rocky Mountain national park yesterday). You bet your butt I'm for the Pact!

Ebonheart Pact Blood for the Pact

All of my characters are in the Pact; however, my main character is a double agent of sorts. He is a spy for the imperials and has gotten close enough to Razum dar and the queen that he is spying on the Pact for the Dominion. So he's feeding two alliances worth of information back to the Imperials. All of my other characters are in the pacts because they're a family and they just think big brother has a great trading deal with the Nords.

The real reason? My friend wanted to play a dark elf and didn't get any race/any alliance upgrade and in order to play with her in PVE before one Tamriel we had to be in the same alliance.

All 9 characters EP here. AD seems to be the most evil race(I remember the Thalmor)....constantly subjecting any elves who are not Altmer. Its true the Dunmer enslaved the Argonians, but that time has since passed...not true at all on the AD side. DC story line just seemed rather bland and boring, no strong feelings either way.

As far as the alliance war goes....
AD is just a giant zerg and always has been as far back as I can remember.
DC I have more respect for...but they often take advantage when AD is pressing one flank to press the other, even though doing so invariably helps AD much more than it helps DC, resulting in AD getting emp.

The Thalmor in ESO aren't bad guys.
http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Thalmor_(Online)

Actually AD is the only solid alliance where all races work together side by side without fear of backstabbing. Their leaders work together on regular basis to deal with all the problems of all races within the alliance. When the Bosmers have problems, you see Queen Aryenn and the Mane in Valenwood. When the Khajiits have problems, you see Queen Aryenn and the Silvenar in Reaper's March, right in the front line of a Daedric invasion. The High Elves even saved the Khajiits from Knahaten Flu.

So, no, Altmers are not subjecting other races in ESO.

You remember when the Bretons have problems? The Redguard almost even went to war against the Bretons, because of reasons. And when the Orcs have problems? They refuse to let any Breton and Redguard army in and rather deal with them themselves because of the fear of backstabbing.

Leaders of the Pact don't even talk to each other. It doesn't seem like the Tribunal gives any flying **** about Jorunn, they send diplomatic missionaries to deal with Pact's business. House Dres and House Telvanni don't even care to join the Pact.

And when the Veiled Heritance march in Auridon with their Daedric allies the Altmer... don't get the Mane or the Silvenar.

Remember the Khajiits wanting an embassy in Elden Root? Completed that quest over a year ago and there's still no sign of an embassy.

For a strong and stable alliance you sure need to hold their Queen's hand a lot. I get you have to do it to a certain degree with the other two leaders but at least (for the most part anyway) they can stand on their own two feet. It's a wonder why Razum-dar doesn't become jealous of you, especially considering he's her pet.

Don't get the Silvenar in Auridon because the Silvenar was dead at that time. We don't get a new Silvenar until much later in the storyline.

The Khajiit embassy? It's not possible to build a building in this game, you see, time doesn't flow, they start building it after the quest, but they will never finish it, just like how they start rebuilding destroyed towns and they will never finish rebuilding them, destroyed towns remain destroyed forever.

Holding the Queen's hand a lot? By helping her to destroy the Veiled Heritance and take back the Staff of Magnus? I don't think it's anywhere close to hand-holding. Have you done the DC questline? You basically help Emeric with his sleeping schedule.

No, he was just desperately after a dream amulet but they weren't a thing back in the second era.

Silvenar died? Fair play to you. A shame it doesn't explain why the Mane wasn't about.

Destroyed towns stayed destroyed for ever, true. However, I've been to Cyrodiil mate and those keeps don't have busted walls and gates forever, do they?

Destroyed the Veiled Heritance? Sure... after they thought they already destroyed them. Guess the Dominion is second time lucky.

So, there are 2 zones where Dominion leaders didn't meet up: Auridon and Malabal Tor. How many zones where Pact leaders and Covenant leaders didn't meet up? Every single one of them.

You can't just make the Embassy suddenly appear like the keeps in Cyrodiil. It is being built after the quest, but because time doesn't flow, they will never finish it, like how they start rebuilding destroyed towns and they will never finish rebuilding them, destroyed towns remain destroyed forever.

Umm no, in Auridon, High Kin Lady Estre escaped, the Dominion got her in Greenshade.

It's kind of desperate that people have to nitpick irrelevant things like these to BM the apparent solidarity of the Dominion. No one can deny the fact Dominion is the only alliance that their leaders work together on a regular basis to deal with all their problems. Take a look at the Pact and the Covenant, they don't even come close, the Redguards almost even went to war against the Bretons, because of reasons. The Orcs refused to let any Breton and Redguard army in Wrothgar because of the fear of backstabbing. Leaders of the Pact don't even talk to each other. It doesn't seem like the Tribunal gives any flying **** about Jorunn, they send diplomatic missionaries to deal with Pact's business. House Dres and House Telvanni don't even care to join the Pact.

Thalmor in ESO are not the bad guys? Skooma, not even once.

And just read what 9th era spaceship wrote on her "LetsGoToWarUNoobs" pamphlet. She is talking about races of other alliances as mentally challenged folk, comparing them to kids. And if she sees Dunmer that way, do you think she has better opinion of a group of tribal cannibals that live inside trees? Or if she sees a race way older than altmers (yes, I am speaking of Saxhleel) as something beneath her, do you think she sees Khajiit folk as her equals? Rubbish.

Pact has its issues and was formed to stop Akaviri invasion. All who played EP quests see that there is a new attack on lands and nations of the Pact, driven by filthy breton merchant and cannibals who came to Shadowfen to eat Saxhleel children, while their so called queen speaks of just and noble cause. To Oblivion with both AD and DC!

Thalmor in ESO is made up of Altmer, Khajiit and Bosmer, not just Altmer, so no, they are not bad guys.

She does see Bosmer and Khajiit as equals, as you can see, the Orrery has confirmed that the Queen has a pure heart, so if she says that she sees Bosmer and Khajiit as equals, in her heart she actually sees Bosmer and Khajiit as equals.

The incident in Shadowfen was led by a rogue group, it was supposed to be a simple scouting invasion, the Queen surely didn't know about the Alchemist's plan, because as you see, she has a pure heart, she wouldn't let him exterminating a race. Don't forget that she took in a lot of Argonian refugees, because the Pact actually treats Argonians like ****, so she actually cares about the well-being of other races.

All hail the Queen and the Dominion!

She does see Bosmer and Khajiit as equals, but not as equals to altmers. Also, sheer number of altmer racists you encounter and kill shows how general altmer population sees other races of Tamriel.

About "incident" in Shadowfen, please read "For eyes of Queen only" and similar documents you encounter in Shadowfen. They are informing AD of their exploits on daily basis, and if for any reason 9th era spaceship has no clue her own forces are comiting holocaust on other race and eating children, then she sure is not only naive but also blind, deaf and completely clueless. Also, I did quest with that numerous Saxhleel refugees. No matter what you do, you end up killing half of the village. Only real choice you have is to lie to the Thalmor so the do not erradicate the surviving few of what they see as lesser race.

Khajiit are only thing in AD that is not disgusting to me. Same is with Orsimer in DC. Orsimer and Khajiit should join the Pact, and AD could have bretons in excange. Altmer ancestors used to keep them as slaves, anyways.

She does see Bosmer and Khajiit as equals to her, the Orrery has confirmed that the Queen has a pure heart, so if she says that she sees Bosmer and Khajiit as equals, in her heart she actually sees Bosmer and Khajiit as equals. The racism among the Altmer is nothing compared to all the bad blood between Orc/Redguard/Breton and Dunmer/Nord/Argonian. The Altmer didn't enslave an entire race. The Atlmer didn't invaded Orsinium numerous times, and slaughtered the Orcs. There was so little bad blood between Altmer and Bosmer/Khajiit, then the Altmer saved the Khajiit from the Knahaten Flu and the Bosmer from the civil war. The only thing that might get in the way is that Altmer are a bunch of stuckup people, but you know, they are not your ex-slave masters and not the guys who murdered your grandpa.

Eyes of the Queen Only:
"Eyes in Stormhold report killings in the holdfast.
Failure by local government to resolve these murders has led to a lack of confidence in <<1>> and the gerents beneath him. This is a weakness we would be well served to exploit."

So no, it doesn't prove anything. This is not modern world, there's no telephone, the report she might get will take awhile, so even if she got reports from her own agents that the general went rogue and was committing holocaust, nothing she could do in the given timeframe. Generals go rogue all the time in history, it's a pain in the butt for any leader to deal with, most of the time the leader himself has to muster a large force to attack the rogue general, it takes months or even years to deal with something like that. It will take a long time for her own agents to go their and execute the general, and if it fails the Queen will even have to send forces to attack him, but oh well, the Pact took care of the problem for her, so no need of further action.
Dude, those Argonians killed themselves. You can't shift the blame to anyone else in this case. It's a fact that the Queen took the Argonians in, because they were treated like *** by the Pact, nothing she could do when a few Argonians decided that they should kill some of their buddies.

Yeah by "joining the Pact" you mean Khajiits and Orcs are being captured by Dunmer slavers to replace Argonian slaves. Nice way of joining the Pact btw. Not that they want to join, though.
No one wants to join the Pact, people are fleeing from it lol, and Orcs prefer to join the Dominion, teehee.

There's no "good" factions, because in each storyline other two alliances are cruel and wily. You can't say that Aldmeri Dominion is good, because they corrupted the Mnemic egg, which severs Argonian's connection to the Hist and that mean extinction of whole race. I don't know how Ebonheart Pact was in AD storyline, but it's obvious that they were bad too.

Anyway, I love Ebonheart Pact because Nords are my fav human race, Dunmers are my fav mer race and Argonions are my favourite race ever. Furthermore, I wanted to fight with Aldmeri Dominion because I hate Thalmor from Skyrim.
Blood for the Pact!

Actually the EP is probably the least evil of the three alliances in regards to actions in enemy territory. The EP backs the Veiled Heritance in AD lands, which is a smart move as the Veiled Heritance would likely dissolve the Dominion and get themselves caught up in a three way war between the Bosmer, the Khajiit and themselves. Leaving the EP and DC the only powers remaining to vie for the Imperial Throne. EP troops present at a VH hideaway is pretty much the extent of their presence in AD lands. Its unclear how much they know about VH involvement with Mehrunes or Molag Bal.

EP presence in DC lands is mostly just Dunmer Slavers raiding small lightly defended villages and towns for Breton Slaves. Yes, slavery is a vile practice but it doesnt seem to be a practice that involves the Nords or the Argonians. There doesnt seem to be any sort of commentary from any Nords or Argonians on the matter of Khajiit and Bretons being taken as slaves. But my guess is that the Nords are silently tolerating it as to not to push their luck with the Dunmer (they already demanded the freedom of Argonians.) because the Dres, whom seem complicit in the Maulborn coup, would likely walk away from the alliance if not outright pull resources from the Dunmer with a civil war. And theres a solid chance the Argonians hate it but again, as long as its not them.

Aside from the Brothers of Strife, which was excused as an action of desperation. The EP really doesnt seem to act in any seriously questionable manner towards their enemies.

I prefer the ideals of the Covenant followed by the Pact. Bretons are one of my favorite races and Emeric felt more like a real person. I love Bosmer and Khajiit, but Ayrenn really rubbed me the wrong way. While she is very friendly, but I felt like she still came off as an elven supremacist. I would probably side with AD if the Silvenar was the leader.

She uses a magical device that shows her true colours, and it reveals she isn't a supremacist. The device cannot lie. She has the purest heart of anyone in Tamriel.

It proves that she is a good person, it doesn't mean I have to love or like her. She comes off as too perfect and boring to me. And only 2 people used it, she can't claim to have the purest heart in all of Tamriel unless everyone in Tamriel passes through it and turns into monsters. But, I will admit that I am probably biased because I played through that quest on my Breton who had just saved the world from Molag Bal and Ayrenn keeps saying how only an elf is good enough to lead. Hmmm... maybe I just have something against Altmers.

She's right. Altmer are the most magically adept and culturally sophisticated race in all of Tamriel.

Most magically adept and culturally sophisticated race... sure doesn't make them the most powerful race though, does it?

Can make moons reappear (and allegedly disappear too) and can thwart multiple invasions by a race of elves with serpent and weather controlling magic, yet a Dwemer Centurion on steroids and an army of Ayleid slave descendents are too much for the almighty Altmer to handle.

The Altmer lack numbers. But they are by far the most powerful race in all of Tamriel. The dunmer, the alleged "second best" magicka wielders, couldn't even keep a simple rock afloat in the sky, resulting their their entire race nearly being wiped out.

That's because they aren't equal.

The bosmer still live in trees and practice cannibalism.

The khajiit can't even maintain their civilisation, let alone expand it (all their buildings are falling apart because they're too lazy to repair them).
