    Ebonheart Pact
    Aldermeri Dominion scroll/proclamation:

    "I have no hatred for the races of Man, but they are young. Like all children, they are driven by emotion. They lack the wisdom that comes with age. I would sooner place an Altmer infant on the Ruby Throne than surrender Tamriel to their capricious whims. The Altmer, the Bosmer and the Khajiit share the common traits of intelligence, patience and reason. We do not seek riches or plunder. Domination is not our goal, nor is the acclamation of power for its own sake. Today we make our stand. Today we take back the Ruby Throne, which is ours by ancient right and the blessings of the Divines. Stand with us." ―Your Queen Commands, Ayrenn Arana Aldmeri

    Daggerfall:

    "Our supplies dwindle. Our trade routes are shut down. Our people suffer. Why? Because a pretender sits upon the Ruby Throne. Let us take up arms! Let the fields of Cyrodiil run red with the blood of our fallen enemies! But let us spare the lives of a few, so that they may return to their homelands to tell their fellows the fate they met at the hands of the Daggerfall Covenant. One land! One Emperor! Who among you will stand with me?" ―Call to Arms, High King Emeric

    Ebonheart:

    "Before Ysgramor led the Nord people south, our ancestors flourished in the frozen continent of Atmora, and to this day our people prefer the bitter climates of northern Tamriel. The Dark Elves abide in Morrowind, a harsh land of ashfall and perpetual earthquakes. The Argonians endure the treacherous and impenetrable depths of Black Marsh. The alliance between our races was born in dark times, when Nord, Dunmer and free Argonians fought as one to repel the invasion of the Akaviri slavemasters. Our greatest strength is the adversity we have overcome. Our resolve is glacial, our might is forged in fire, and our courage, cultivated by the beasts of the jungle. We are Ebonheart. We are as one. And by this, our victory is assured." ―Blood For The Pact!, Jorunn the Skald-King

    After going through cadwell's about 3 times.. DC.

    I guess because of werewolves, vampires, and daedra related nightmares and creepy Rivenspire. Or maybe I just need more coffee before answering this question.

    DC for life. Who wants to be part of Elves wiping out everyone else? Or the Pact, can anyone say slavery and can't hold it together?

    DC doesn't have slavery, doesn't really have racism (ok the Orc thing is way blown out of proportion), and story wise, they keep it together.


    Practially for PvP - being DC sucks, but when I play AD or EP I'm always forget that I'm a bannana or apple.

    I play all alliances, but stick with AD because that's where my main is, PC and Xbox. I like Queen Ayrenn, Razum Dar is the best character in the game (non-debatable), despite some bad subfactions AD has my favorite philosophy of the three, and ALL THE FLUFFY KHAJIIT I MEAN HOW CAN YOU NOT. Any race, any alliance, obviously, so you're not stuck playing a high elf.

    Wish there was a forth option: Independent/Outlaws though if i had to choose one it would be Ebonheart. Was never a fan of daggerfalls king, and after shadowfen the Dominion to me are just a bunch of baby killers, plus ill admit i have a personal hatred for high elve society. I mean say what you will about dark elves but at least they hate each other about as much as they hate everyone else xP.

    PvE: IMO, AD has the most beautiful zones and also some of the most memorable characters in the game.(e.g. Razum-dar)

    PvP: AD isn't the best and that's one of the reasons why I prefer them over the other 2 alliances. I tried playing with DC and EP but I quickly found out that you have a higher chance of fighting a good player if you're an AD player. Also, AD is the least toxic alliance.

      *cough* who's this gooch that you speak of? He may have played a small part in the victory, like being the top player on the EP leaderboards...

      He definitely deserves kudos and I'm not proud, I'll still take the victory. I think I was ranked 65th or something as of last night so I rode his coattails...

I play video games to have a good time not deal with insecure and angry people.

      Honestly I kinda like EP too but yeah, definitely the least toxic alliance from what I've found (just my personal experience, however much that's worth, on PC and Xbox NA). My guild is multifaction, but only really seems to encounter toxicity issues with players who feel very strongly about EP or DC over AD.

      I don't honestly care about faction. The majority of my characters are EP because the majority of my friends selected Pact when starting the game years ago.

      Also because my favorite class is dragonknight. EP's symbol is a dragon and color is red. So, in my opinion, an EP DK's Standard is the most visually appealing from a thematic perspective.

      Yep. Colors for two of the factions are reversed.

      Ebonheart. DC is too worried about their trading and making gold [also their high king can't/won't make a definite decision. I call him the Waffle King]. Aldmeri Dominion is led by a well meaning but rather naïve ruler who seems to really believe only the Altmer are fit to give orders. EP wants the right to govern themselves.

      Yeah, leave us to our own devices and stay out of our business
