User blog:Zippertrain85/Why I choose the Ebonheart Pact and why I think they'll win.

So since debates about the Stormcloaks vs Imperials have gone down, I decided to start a whole new conversation topic. This time about the Elder Scrolls Online factions. So as you probably know there are three factions in the Elder Scrolls Online. The Daggerfell Convenant (Bretons, Redguards and Orcs) the Ebonheart Pact (Nords, Dunmer, and Argonians) and the Aldmeri Dominion (Altmer, Khajiit, Bosmer). After looking at all the information on these factions I feel the Ebonheart Pact is the best side. In this article I'm going to explain the reasons why I believe in lore they actually are supposed to win.

First of all, the Ebonheart Pact has my three favourite races. I've always liked, Nords, Dunmer, and Argonians. They have the coolest, lore, backstory etc, in my opinion. I know this might seem like a shallow reason but races are important to which faction you choose. You're not going to have as much fun if you're playing as a race who don't find that interesting. This is actually the most common reason for people to join a specific faction, most people don't give a crap about the politics behind it. They just know they like playing as a certain race and will pick the faction that has that race.

My second reason is that I honestly feel the pact is the best hope for Tamriel's saftey. While all the mortals are out fighting for dominance Molag Bal is plotting to take over Tamriel. We need a unitied Tamriel if we are to drive him out! Who better for that then the Ebonheart Pact. The Almderi Dominion and the Daggerfell Convenant are both fighting for supremacy of their kind. The Aldmeri Dominion is fighting for Elves to rule Tamriel, while the Daggerfall Convenant is fighting for humans to rule Tamriel, the Ebonheart Pact is fighting for everyone to stay indepdent and equal. This is what we need to do in a crisis like this. Not try to dominate one another. I honestly believe in equality of races of Tamriel and for freedom of Bal's tyranny, that's why I fight for the Pact.

Finally, I actually think the Ebonheart Pact is supposed to win, lore wise. The Elder Scrolls Online takes place a little before Tiber Septim (Talos) conquers all of Tamriel. Ho would be able to do that if the Dominion or the Convenant were in power? Septim is a very strong warrior but he couldn't defeat all of Tamriel at once. Also, when you read legends about him a giant rulling force is never mentioned to exist at that time. In my opinion, this all points towards the Ebonheart winning and everyone becoming independent.

Well, this is my take on Elder Scrolls Online. If you disagree or have an opinion of your own, tell me in the comments.
