Patch 11.0.5 Now Live
Major balance changes to all classes, new dungeon difficulty, and holiday events are now available. Check out the full patch notes for details.
In The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO), players must choose one of three main alliances (factions) at character creation, which determines their starting zone, some quests, and their team in PvP (Cyrodiil and Alliance War). Heres a breakdown of the factions: Aldmeri Dominion (AD) - Races: High Elf, Wood Elf, Khajiit - Leader: Queen Ayrenn (High Elf) - Capital: Elden Root (Grahtwood) - Theme: Elven supremacy, order, and a belief in guiding Tamriel toward prosperity under elven rule. - Territories: Summerset, Valenwood, Elsweyr, and parts of Cyrodiil. Daggerfall Covenant (DC) - Races: Breton, Redguard, Orc (Orsimer) - Leader: King Emeric (Breton) - Capital: Wayrest (Stormhaven) - Theme: Unity of humans and Orcs, meritocracy, and restoring the Second Empires ideals. - Territories: High Rock, Hammerfell, Orsinium, and parts of Cyrodiil. Ebonheart Pact (EP) - Races: Nord, Dark Elf (Dunmer), Argonian - Leader: Jorunn the Skald-King (Nord) - Capital: Mournhold (Deshaan) - Theme: A fragile alliance of former enemies (Nords, Dunmer, and Argonians) banding together against outside threats. - Territories: Skyrim, Morrowind, Black Marsh, and parts of Cyrodiil. Key Notes: PvP Impact: Your faction determines your team in Cyrodiil PvP (Alliance War). You fight for your alliances control of the Ruby Throne. Race Flexibility: With the "Any Race, Any Alliance" upgrade (or ESO Plus), you can play any race in any faction. Story & Quests: While factions influence early zones, all players can explore all regions and complete every factions quests. Neutral Factions: Some groups (like the Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, or Psijic Order) are neutral and open to all. Which Should You Choose? Lore/RP: Pick based on your preferred races or faction ideals. PvP: Some alliances have population imbalances (check server trends). Aesthetics: AD (forests/elven), DC (medieval/knightly), EP (volcanic/nordic). Your choice doesnt lock you out of content, so go with what feels right! Would you like details on any specific factions lore or zones?

The War Within brings so much fresh content to WoW. The new zones are absolutely stunning and the storyline is engaging. Been playing for 15 years and this expansion reignited my passion for the game.
The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
