    My favorite is Daggerfall. I personally like Emeric more than the other leaders, doing the quests for him make me respect him. And the lore about his life is really interesting.

    My only problem with the Ebonheart Pact is the same problem that Scott from Fudgemuppet has with it. The races that made up the alliance were too different and barely could be in the same room as one another without drawing their weapons. The pact just didn't make that much sense when you consider the relationships between the Nords, Dunmer, and Argonians

    @@matthewbrewer7174 Very true, and it’s weird how the Dunmer seem to be the most invested in the pact as the Nords are their ancient enemy and the Argonians are nothing but boots in their eyes. I could get more behind the idea of the Pact if maybe House Indoril and House Dres weren’t associated with the pact similar to House Telvanni.

    @masterneloth I'm surprised that Dres even considered the alliance with the Argonians and Nords in the first place, seeing that they are the most conservative Dunmer great house who view any other race as inferior. True, the Tribunal had a lot to do with forcing Dres to accept the pact, but still.

    Things I can see happening: Dunmer and Nords being able to align through pure, vitriolic spite alone. They each have that in excess. Would it last long? No. Would they kill in an absolute frenzy for a good handful of years and then piss each other off into dissolution? Yes. That I can see coming together and falling apart throughout years and history. Depending on how poopy other people decide to act up around them, the whole demon you know thing with a bit of enemy-of-my-enemy going on. I can stomach that. I can suspend my disbelief that far. What I can't see at all: The Argonians being buddied up with at all outside of individual, specific battle cases. Nords aren't fond of Argonians. Dunmer aren't fond of Argonians. Argonians aren't strictly all that fond of anyone who isn't also an Argonian... Wouldn't much work out. Absolutely cannot get my disbelief to stretch over that hurdle. That I cannot try to squint and stand on my head and maybe a little bit see. It just ain't clicking.

    I completely agree with you. I havent played ESO in a couple years but was a day one player, and was Daggerfall Covenant from the beginning. I also came to the defence of the Ebonheart Pact when many other ES KZreadrs said it was a stupid pact that didnt make sense because nords and dark elves hated each other. There are many instances in the real world where historical enemies united to face a greater foe. The EP were pretty interesting because of that. AD sucks lol.

    My perspective of the ebonheart-pact is that they only seek the ruby throne so that nobody else will claim dominion over them. The Pact was created as a response to the Akaviri Invasion and still exists because of the threats the other 2 factions pose. Once the faction war cools off, the Ebonheart Pact will crumble as they no longer have anyone to defend against.

    Sure, but that still makes no sense. The Argonians can just hide in the Black Marsh and no one will bother them cuz the entire place is toxic to non-Argonians, and the Dunmer have the Tribunal to protect them, three extremely powerful living gods, all at fullpower since Dagoth Ur doesn't show up to steal the Heart of Lorkhan for another couple of centuries. And the Nords could just have joined with the Daggerfall if they wanted to remain free.

    Exactly, I dislike how biased he is againt ayrenn. Even though yes she did go about the whole ascension to the throne situation wrong I geninuly believe she wants a peacful tameriel. Her adventures exploring tameriel gave her experience with other cultures instead of being contained to summerset and most likely would've grown with the typical closeted (racist/supremist) altmer mindset.. I mean i guess it's also forgotten in the AD storyline about the orrery (an ancient alyied device that literally reveals the type of person you are on the inside; turned her brother naemon into and ogrim because he had hateful ideas for tamriel's future. Better ruler my ass). But, when she stepped into the orrery she came out whole and glowing revealing to all her intentions are indeed pure. I like that she's flawed, i mean...who isn't flawed? she also repeatedly states disdain for the veiled heritance and calls them racist yet he screams that she is the racist?! lol I can agree saying fuck AD to 2nd and 3rd AD because it appears the veiled heritance more than likely swept back in after ayrenn's death to further instill that supremist/elitest bs. In conclusion, my personal ranking from worst to best is EP>AD>DC. Hopefully neloth won't kill me for it lol. At least, i can agree emeric would probably be the most fair as ruler followed by ayrenn and...i just dont like the idea of jorunn at all on the throne. Even though i play AD in game i could see the potentional downfall of AD leading because once ayrenn died a veiled heritance leader would take her place and undo her work. Which is basically what 2nd and 3rd AD are.

    I ALMOST agree with you. While making this video you forgot that Daggerfall also didn't treat their members equally. There are proofs that Bretons and Redguards are treating Orcs more like a meat shields than equal members. I recall at least one quest about it in Dominion storyline (I think it was around Northern Beacon or somewhere around it), and few quests in the Daggerfall storyline. I think there was also one quest in Orsinium DLC, where group of Daggerfall soldiers refused to accept Orcs as allies and kept attacking them. Other issue is with Daggerfall war crimes. While you mention Fort Virak and the mess there, you forgot to mention about the whole mess they did in the Stonefalls. Or the massacre of Bleakrock Isle, which didn’t had any military importance. Not to mention the cooperation between Daggerfall soldiers with Fildgors Storm Brigade in Eastmarch, or with Worm Cult in Rift. Last thing… I have a lot of issue with Emeric. In short way, while reading about him, I always felt like he takes credit for others' achievements. Also he could have taken better approach with King Ranser. After all Emeric knew that Ranser was furious, but he preferred to stay on his honeymoon instead of meeting with him and trying to calm him down. Also sending him an invite for his wedding in this situation was really rude in my opinion. Oh and the Orcs attacking Shornhelm during the Ransers War… they did it only because Emeric told them to do so. So Breton king asked Orcs to go and burn down the city of other Bretons. No thank you! But outside of that… BLOOD FOR THE PACT and F*CK THE DOMINION

    As someone who almost always prefer independence over empires and hates imperialism with my whole being, I'm a die-hard Pact supporter, and that comes from guiding entity (aka player) whose characters are mostly Breton, Argonian (so only 1 out of 3 founding races) and Khajiit (Khajiit and Breton siding with Pact has even pragmatic sense - as is stated in "Pact Pamphlet: Congratulations!", if you are citizen of the Pact, you cannot be enslaved regardless of your race) nowadays mostly playing as Necromancer (although following path of "benevolent necromancy" taught by the likes of Vastarie the Altmer and Yisareh the Redguard of Undaunted) and having closest to worshipping (or at least respecting the most) Daedric Prince Malacath/Trinimac (I consider them same being, a sort of "split personality" thing). Since every playthrough made by different player is different, I take it as we create our own timelines (CHIM anybody?) and sort of fan-fictions, and in my playthrough of ESO, in spite of all hardships, Pact triumphs in the end and no new Empire is formed (that's right, F-you Tiber "Talos" Septim!). Blood for the Pact!

    As an Aldmeri main (my first character ever, and my current main, is a Bosmer which is my favorite race overall, so Aldmeri was my first Alliance,) I can say, totally unbiased, that the Aldmeri Dominion is the best faction. Jokes aside, I do lean slightly towards the Aldmeri Dominion just due to the fact it was my first Alliance, but later I grew to like Emeric so I've developed a slight love for the Daggerfall Covernant too, not as much as the Aldmeri Dominion, cuz it has Bosmers and Khajiits which is automatically a win, but I do like it, and honestly, it might have been my favorite faction had it been my first. Bretons are my favorite Human race so... And while I do like Nords, (I am a Norseman, afterall) Argonians and Dunmer, I don't understand how the Ebonheart Pact stays together. It's literally the most frail of the Alliances and it existing has to be some divine blessing from a Daedric Prince :D

The Dominion will tear itself apart soon enough, the Pact will implode the moment there's no external pressure keeping them together, but the Covenant has strong connections made stronger by the rebuilding of Orsinium, ties of marriage, and the support of groups like House Ravenwatch.

So far the Pact is coming out on top since far less war crimes. Practically I think the Covenant is the best overall. Granted I'm giving Fahara'jad the side eye. He isn't who he says he is that is for damn certain and that is going to take out yet another piece of the alliance. I think Bazrag will come around he just needs the time.

EP Edit w/ spoiler* The DC storyline is the only one where a big bad recognizes that you’re the vestige and that traditional ways of dealing with you won’t work, and is the only storyline where an elaborate trap is laid throughout a good chunk of the zone specifically to deal with you. The other alliances don’t give that kind of attention to your player character aside from him/her/they being part of the supporting cast. DC gives you main character treatment.

    My take before watching this video: Ebonheart Pact: First faction i joined back in latest Beta of ESO. Stuck with them out of Nostalgia feelings for Nords and Dunmer (Can't help it, Morrowind was my first Elder Scrolls Game and Skyrim still has me hooked to it) Daggerfall Covenant: Has Bretons. I like Bretons as a playable race. A lot. And don't deny it 50% magick absorption is absolutely brilliant. Redguards are also cool and the most die-hard fan in me, who doesn't want to lose hope in Bethesda still is hyped to potentially *maybe* see more of them in TES 6. Never cared much for the Orcs, although i have to admit not even having a place to call home is kinda wrong and they don't deserve this. Aldmeri Dominion: Has Queen Ayrenn. Who is a hot elven biatch. And not only that, she is kinda cool and actually wise and (as far as i remember) kinda based. I also like Bosmer, even though they're cannibals and Khajiit, even though they are catfolk and you know, "i'm something of a dog person myself". In Conclusion: I have no frikkin idea which faction is better. Still would choose Ebonheart Pact every god damn time, because Skyrim belongs to the Nords, you filthy N'wahs! *Starts hissing like a reptile*

Nord haven't single leader, aragonian don't want join to dark elves but don't have many choices and most story of Ebonheart pact is about defending from Daggerfall invasion so they aren't very strong

    This is a great take. I understand they’ll always be some infighting with races allied with each other because let’s face it, all of the TES races are racist/xenophobic to a certain degree. That being said, DCs races, and the Bosmer to a degree, are the least racist. Nords, Dunmer, and Altmer are definitely the worst 😂 I’ve done a lot of research on what could be considered the canon alliance for the Vestige, and most of it points to DC, the main quest also fits in nicely with the Daggerfall Covenant storyline and since there was another empire started by Tiber Septim who was probably a Breton, I’d say DC was the most likely to win the war.

    In the intricate tapestry of the Three Banners War, it becomes unequivocally apparent that the Aldmeri Dominion stands as the paragon of enlightened governance, cultural supremacy, and martial prowess. Nevertheless, it is an undeniable travesty that Queen Ayrenn, an erstwhile pariah whose ascension to power is nothing short of a monumental blunder, was not extinguished in her nascent state. Her continued existence and misguided leadership undermine the very fabric of the Dominion's grandeur. In stark contrast, the Veiled Heritance emerges as the rightful custodians of true Altmer heritage, their zealous advocacy for purity and tradition embodying the quintessential ethos that should govern the Aldmeri Dominion's illustrious future. Moreover, I remain resolute and impervious to the ramifications of potential banishment from Morrowind at your hands "Master" Neloth. Such an expulsion is but a trifling inconvenience, for I would never deign to forsake the paradisiacal splendor of Alinor-a realm of unparalleled beauty and sanctity that Ayrenn incessantly desecrates with her cadre of foreign interlopers. The Dominion's destiny lies in the preservation of its pure and unblemished lineage, a vision that the Veiled Heritance valiantly upholds against the pernicious influence of Ayrenn and her pet outsiders. The sole point of concurrence between us, perhaps, is the lamentable truth that I am not in a position to personally rid us of Ayrenn and enthrone our rightful sovereign, Prince Naemon. This grievous limitation is a shared regret, an impediment to the realization of a Dominion governed by its true and worthy king. Signed, High Kinlord Rilis XIII Representative of the Veiled Heritance

    I, Duinor the Wood Orc, thoroughly say to take this Veiled Heritance propaganda and place it in the waste basket. It will not be tolerated and as one of the eyes of the great Queen Ayrenn this will be relayed to her by the second sundown from today. I trust you will have better judgment in the future in terms of your outlook towards those who only wish to see the world in a better place. As this is only your first written notice you will not be fined but should this occur again there will be a sum attached to the next letter to be paid to her royal highness in a not insignificant amount. I hope we do not have to communicate in this manner again. Have a nice day. Duinor, Eye of the Queen.

    @@fangslore9988 Your Queen, Ayrenn, epitomizes self-serving ambition and hypocrisy. She abandoned our venerable culture to indulge in frivolous pursuits with beasts, engaging in zoophilic behavior and only the eight divines know what else. Now, she returns, driven solely by a thirst for power, seeking to impose foreign values and contemptuously disregarding our cherished traditions. Her actions are far from benevolent; they reveal her as a hypocrite of the highest order. If she truly desires to rule-or "guide," as she euphemistically calls it-the rest of Tamriel, then you and your misguided ilk must renounce any and all claims to genuine Altmer heritage. Depart from Alinor forever, and govern the creatures you so dearly cherish. Perhaps they will demonstrate their appreciation for your misguided attempts to assist them.

    Awesome video but I disagree with your assessment on who won the Three Banners War. The Ebonheart Pact’s main goal was to prevent the other alliances from securing the ruby throne. To that end the Pact was successful as neither the Aldmeri Dominion nor the Daggerfall Covenant managed to survive and Tamriel was free for more than two centuries before the rise of Tiber Septim. The claim that the Daggerfall Covenant had won because of Tiber Septim does not make any sense, not only because it collapsed before the rise of Tiber Septim, but also because there is absolutely no similarity between the Empire Emeric envisioned and the one Talos created. High King Emeric envisioned a federal empire where each race enjoyed equal representation under the Ruby Throne which would hear and protect their respective interests as equals. The Septim Empire instead was a top down feudal regime where everyone existed to serve the emperor and if anyone was even remotely neutral towards the dynasty, he would be brutally removed by the Numidium until the Underking stopped it. Granted the provinces were eventually allowed autonomy as time went on but that was due to the decline of the empire’s central authority not by design. Tiber Septim’s empire was mostly created by Cyronords (Colovian imperials) and the Nords of Skyrim. Its foundation myth and identity is based on Skyrim as the fatherland of humanity and structured upon an Imperial-Nordic axis, with Cyrodiil as the heart and Skyrim as the arm of the empire. It had nothing to do with the Breton-Redguard alliance as their respective provinces were inhumanely conquered. If Talos and Emeric lived at the same time they would be enemies. After the interregnum it was the imperials and Nords who had the last laugh, not the Bretons neither the Redguards. As for why I prefer the Ebonheart Pact is for the same reason I prefer the Stormcloaks. I find a free Tamriel where every province is independent far more preferable than when it’s ruled either an empire or a dominion. Though we do agree that the Aldmeri Dominion sucks no matter the iteration.

Sure dunmer are slave owners, but that just two of their at least five great houses, with the other pretty much almost never practing slavery. So in that case is not the actual majority.

    Big fan of your content but not one of your best videos in my eyes. You use the Veiled Heritance as a big negative of the AD yet admit half of Hammerfell & not all Orcs are with the DC & actually the new King of Orsinium fully declares leaving the DC i’m pretty sure not just ‘less enthusiastic.’ The same goes for the EP. Most of Argonia are not involved with the EP & half of Skyrim isn’t either yet you bring this up but hardly. Yes the VH were actively working against the AD but the PC wipes them out. You used the PC’s actions for the Orcs but not for the VH? You complain a lot about the AD attempting to commit genocide on the Argonians of Shadowfen yet sound extremely glad when discussing Talos’s genocide on the AD which is the 2nd biggest genocide in Tamriel history just after the Sload’s genocide of half of Tamriel. You brush aside the fact that the DC kill the most civilians of the 3 factions like it’s nothing which ends up being the biggest war crime thanks to the PC stopping AD’s genocide too. Like what? Makes no sense. I’m a DC player myself & I do agree DC is the best & makes the most sense even though again all 3 races hate each other that’s why they’ve been at odds throughout Tamriel’s history but this video really doesn’t do the discussion of the 3 factions justice. Not trying to be rude, it’s genuine criticism. I love your videos otherwise, just think this one isn’t one of your best. Coulda done a lot more.

    if Queen Ayren was as you said a bad leader and wanted elven supremecy then the orrey would have rejected her, when asked she will say she saw a tamriel united under her benevolence where all were equal, she's actually a good person, the Thalmor later on after the second era ended up absorbing members of the remnent veiled Heritance members began their rhetoric of elven supremacy and believing man was unfit to rule and the altmer all knew it was Mannimarco who did it and as he is the shame of their people. in fact no altmer even blame humans for the planemeld and the one that they do blame is Emperor Varen Aquilarios specifically not for being human, but for not listening to the reports about Mannimarco. the fact that Queen Ayren wasn't for elven supremacy sparked the formation of the Veiled heritance, the clandestine secret society run by High Kin Lady Estri which grew into a militant order who were all about elven supremacy and their ultimate goal was to assassinate Ayren and put her brother namon on the throne since he himself harbored elf supremacist views, and was a willing co-leader of the heritence behind his twin sister's back until the orrery revealed him to be a monster on the inside. there are good and bad in each faction each leader of each faction are good people who have good intentions but somewhat misguided. the reality is that Queen Ayrenn Arana Aldmeri, High King Jorunn the Skald-King, and High King Emric all have the same goal in mind, to unite all races all provinces and all people in peace and equality which is the reason for the war its just that all three monarchs do not know every detail their soldiers and even generals are doing which has led to bad apples being amongst their forces. remember these words "i saw a dominion of peace were all were equal under my banner" ~High Queen Ayrenn Arana Aldemeri after the ratification ceremony at the orrery under eldenroot. she also said that she would have all be her people. also ruvatar wasn't ordered to genocide the argonians, he was sent to determine if flora and fauna of black marsh could be used in viable ways also let us not forget that the jackdaws were under ebon heart pact employ and were paid to raise the dead in Haven however the one who hired them were also working for the worm cult. also the pact is more known to delve and sanction necromancy and in some of the delves there are a lot of pact necromancers and the covenant also has just as many bad eggs. the leaders of the alliances are all good people however the alliances also reflect the grit of irl conflict, there is never going to be a faction 100% good despite how good and benevolent the leaders are, because atrocities are made and covered up by generals who order them. it literally is for these rogue generals a "what our king/queen does not know can't hurt them"
