One thing I like about the Pact in ESO is that, despite them supposedly being the "most divided" faction, nearly all its quests focus on external threats, whereas the Dominion and Covenant are focused almost exclusively on infighting. Look at it this way: Bleakrock, Bal Foyen and Stonefalls: Covenant Invasion. Deshaan: Boethiah cultists. Shadowfen: Dominion invasion. The Rift: Worm Cultist/Reachmen invasion. Only ONE of their seven zones, Eastmarch, focuses on internal conflict with Fildgor trying to overthrow King Jorunn.

While this may be a coincidence, I think ZOS/Bethesda did this on purpose. It symbolises how the Pact is at its strongest when a common foe attacks them, but throughout the regions, you see that the races still distrust each other. It's meant to remind us that they couldn't survive if they did indeed win and conquer Tamriel. As soon as they would be without an enemy to unite them, they'd start infighting, and without Jorunn, Eyes-of-Steel and Noramil, they'd collapse completely unless by some fluke, equally powerful and wise leaders would take their places.

Just felt like adding this to thread. Ultimately all three factions fall apart, but I still like the Pact a lot.
