During character customization, players must choose from one of three Alliances; the [[Aldmeri Dominion (Online)|Aldmeri Dominion]], the [[Daggerfall Covenant]], and the [[Ebonheart Pact]]. Players are able to join various Guilds, regardless of their Alliance, and these include the [[Mages Guild (Online)|Mages Guild]], the [[Fighters Guild (Online)|Fighters Guild]], and the [[Undaunted]]. The [[Thieves Guild (Online)|Thieves Guild]] and [[Dark Brotherhood (Online)|Dark Brotherhood]] will be added in-game post-launch. Other factions offer quests, but cannot be joined, such as the [[Great Houses]] of [[Morrowind (Online)|Morrowind]]. Many factions can only be interacted with in particular regions, for example the [[Maulborn]] in [[Deshaan]], the [[Bloodthorn Cult]] in [[Glenumbra]], or the [[Veiled Heritance]] in [[Auridon]] and other Aldmeri Dominion regions, however, players are able to experience another Alliance's content when they reach level 50, via [[Veteran Levels]].

Revision as of 03:25, 2 February 2017

For other uses, see Factions.
For the three joinable alliances, see Alliances.

Factions in The Elder Scrolls Online, distinct from the three main Alliances, consists of any of the joinable Guilds, and other groups with similar goals, causes or philosophies.

During character customization, players must choose from one of three Alliances; the Aldmeri Dominion, the Daggerfall Covenant, and the Ebonheart Pact. Players are able to join various Guilds, regardless of their Alliance, and these include the Mages Guild, the Fighters Guild, and the Undaunted. The Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood will be added in-game post-launch. Other factions offer quests, but cannot be joined, such as the Great Houses of Morrowind. Many factions can only be interacted with in particular regions, for example the Maulborn in Deshaan, the Bloodthorn Cult in Glenumbra, or the Veiled Heritance in Auridon and other Aldmeri Dominion regions, however, players are able to experience another Alliance's content when they reach level 50, via Veteran Levels.

Guilds
