The 3 Pacts!

This information came out a while ago, but there has been no new news worth writing about recently for ESO. So due to the drought of information, I have decided to write about what choices there are for our first toon in ESO.

There are 3 separate Factions. Each faction is an unexpected but necessary relationship between nations. Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. A piece of land has opened up due to a death on the crown, and these factions are at total war with each other to claim the lawless land of Tamriel for their own!


  • Aldmeri Dominion
The ranks of The Dominion contain the Altmer race of Summerset Isle, the Bosner race of Valenwood, and the Khajiit race of Elsweyr. These 3 races have teamed up to claim Tamriel as their own, for they believe they are the rightful rulers of that land!

  • Daggerfall Covenant
The ranks of the Daggerfall Covenant are of the most feared, yet unstable in the war for they are filled with warriors of all races. The Daggerfall Covenant contains the Orsimer race of Orsinium, the Breton race of High Rock and the Redguard race of Hammerfell. These races are to be extremely feared, yet there are some inside problems between the Redguards and the Orcs which may be a gamechanger.

  • Ebonheart Pact
The ranks of the Ebonheart Pact are of the most unforseen of them all for they were once total enemies, but have joined together to reach a common goal of taking over Tamriel! The ranks of the Ebonheart Pact contain the Nord race of Skyrim, the Dunmer race of Morrowind, and the Argonian race of Black Marsh. With the strength of the Nords, the creativity of the Dunmer, and the switness of the reptile race, the Ebonheart Pact is a team that should never be challenged head on or suffer being crushed!

Beta-testing begins!

On March 26, 2013, ZeniMax sent out its first wave of closed beta invitations to the ESO beta. These first few tests will "generally be held on the weekends" (TESO twitter) and is held by a "small" group of testers (official website). This marks and exciting milestone to the development of ESO as a whole and I am confident that the open beta will begin soon.

This...is...BETA!
Remember, any of those who have been invited to the beta, please refrain from sharing or posting any material that is game related because it will be in violation of the non-disclosure agreement. Anything shared that violates the NDA will be removed immediately and reported to ZeniMax which will most definitely end with a boot to the ass. Enjoy the game and be sure to come back with well constructed feedback. It's up to you to mold and polish ESO into a stellar MMO!
