a Nord from Western Skyrim

I was born in Mor Khazgur in what is now the new Hold of Karthald on 11 Frostfall 2e559, under the sign of the Tower. And yes, before you ask, It was hawkward growing up in a town mostly inhabited by Orcs.
Since puberty I have known I was different. Invoking the name of any of the Nordic Divines (Kyne, Mara, Dibella, Stuhn, Jhunal, Shor, Orkey or Aldiun) at a wayshrine would enable me to travel to other known wayshrines. I have yet to meet anyone else who can do that.

So, if I am a Nord from any of the 4 Holds of Western Skyrim am I part of the Ebonheart Pact or neutral ? Can I ignore the summon from Grand Warlord Zimmeron ?

During the afternoon of Loredas, 6 Sun’s Dawn 2e578 a big piece of Aetherius fell to Nirn. It was the first major piece of Aetherius to fall on Nirn in more than five hundred years. It scattered around the world as millions of shards. It was rapidly documented by Lady Cinnabar of Taneth in her pamphlet Aetherial Fragments that "... when three shards meet, they re-form into a silvery prism by unknown process and confer the power unlocked by the merger to a nearby being." The Order of the Black Worm, commonly known as the Worm Cult, reappeared in Tamriel shortly thereafter and some of its members are avidly searching said shards.
In the last week of First Seed 2e579, an arcane explosion occurred in the Imperial City — a night of storms, and trembling terrain. They named it the "Soulburst". That day Emperor Varen Aquilarios disappeared without a trace. His wife, Clivia Tharn, ascended to the Ruby Throne as Empress Regent under the guidance of the Necromancer Mannimarco. Ushering a time of increased instability within the Empire of Cyrodiil which finally grew into “The Three Banners War”.

    You will have to pick an alliance at character creation regardless your roleplay decisions/starting zone. So without the "any race, any alliance" bundle you'll be member of the pact. Neutral characters don't exist gameplay-wise.

    That said, you are of course free to ignore cyrodiil completely nowadays, as PvP skill lines can be levelled in BGs and even daily login rewards (if you're patient enough to do so). So you don't have to bother with Zimmeron if you don't want to. As far as I know you won't even be summoned if you don't enter cyrodiil.
    Never get between a cat and it's candy!

    Overland difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including One Tamriel, an overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver & Gold as a "you think you do but you don't" - tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game. I'm bored of dungeons, I'm bored of trials; make a personal difficulty slider for overland. It's not that hard.

    maybe that is why we no longer receive mail when we reach level 10.
