Its for the three playable factions. Each of those factions have three races forming it. Aldmeri dominion: Altmer, Bosmer, and Khajiit. Daggerfall Covenant: Breton, Orsimer, and Redguard. Ebonheart Pact: Nords, Dunmer, and Argonian. Imperials are the only non-playable race, whom are allied with Manimarco (King of Worms) in order to keep the Empire together.
