Aldmeri Dominion: elder scrolls online guide


The Aldmeri Dominion is newly formed, the youngest of the alliances born in response to recent events and ancient pacts. The Altmer of Summerset lead the Dominion, motivated to take control of the Imperial City in order to restore Elven rule to Tamriel and wipe out the forces of Molag Bal that hold the throne and the White-Gold Tower.
The alliance, though new, is already tenuous. While the three races don’t openly quarrel with each other, each feels attacks on its own homeland must take priority.
Valenwood, home of the Wood Elves, is under attack by Colovian Imperials from the southwest of Cyrodiil. Their forests are being razed and burned, and as a result, the Bosmer are stretched thin. Meanwhile, the Khajiit face invasion into Elsweyr by Nibenese Imperials who are seizing the fertile grasslands where the Khajiiti’s herds graze.
The Altmer of Summerset are the Dominion’s leaders. While they are the political heads of the Dominion, due to their tradition of isolationism they are also the least numerous. Reluctant to leave Summerset, few High Elves can be found on mainland Tamriel. Nonetheless, they guide the Aldmeri Dominion’s strategic vision, leading the campaign to restore Tamriel to Elven rule and end the tyranny of the Empires of Men.
The Bosmer play a strategic role in the Aldmeri Dominion’s survival. The de facto capitol of the Dominion, Elden Root, lies in the heart of Valenwood, and is the logistical heart of the alliance. From Elden Root, forces spread out towards Cyrodiil, guided by the Altmer. However, not every Bosmer tribe is fully committed to the Dominion because of the threat currently in their homelands, but they provide an invaluable service, guiding the Khajiit and Altmer through their dense, near-impassable woodland home. They fight to evict the invaders from Valenwood and as a result, accept the aid of the Altmer and Khajiit to do so.
The Khajiit owe a great debt to the Altmer, who came to their aid when their population was suffering from the Knahaten Flu, and saved many of the Khajiiti people. The Khajiit see the Dominion as a means to setting the world right and saving themselves from future invasions and wars. They are the strong arm of the Dominion, the backbone of the alliance’s military, rushing to meet their enemies with glee, instilling fear wherever they go.
