It is a time of strife and unrest. Armies of revenants and dark
spirits manifest in every corner of Tamriel. Winters grow colder and
crops fail. Mystics are plagued by nightmares and portents of doom.
Four years ago, in 2E 578, an arcane explosion of energy in the
Imperial City set off mystical aftershocks that swept across Nirn. Mages
died or went mad. Supernatural abominations from the plane of Oblivion,
the Daedra, appeared in greater numbers than ever before. The
constellation of the Serpent grew so large that it dominated the night
sky.
So began the grand scheme of Molag Bal, Daedric
Prince of domination and enslavement. His Dark Anchors, vortexes of evil magic,
weaken the barrier between worlds, threatening to merge Nirn and Oblivion into
a single, nightmarish hellscape.
In the midst of this chaos, three alliances vie for control of the
Imperial City and the White-Gold Tower. High Rock, Sentinel, and
Orsinium stand as one, united under the rule of
the High King in Wayrest. Valenwood and Elsweyr have forged an alliance
of their own with Summerset, while Black Marsh, Morrowind, and Skyrim
have formed a third, uneasy pact.
The Daggerfall Covenant. The Aldmeri Dominion. The Ebonheart Pact.
Three armies will take up arms against the Empire, and against each
other, to wrest control of the Imperial City and White-Gold Tower from
the dark forces of Oblivion itself.
Where do your loyalties lie?
The Alliance War
The drums of war have reached a fever pitch, calling the
warriors of Tamriel to the field of battle.
The Daggerfall Covenant, the Ebonheart Pact, and the Aldmeri Dominion will
take up arms and fight for control of Cyrodiil, the Imperial City, and the
throne of Tamriel.Featuring three-sided Player vs. Player (PvP) gameplay, The Elder Scrolls Online supports
hundreds of players on screen at once in an open world fight for control of Cyrodiil.
Seize, hold, and control the resources of massive strongholds. Utilize massive siege
weapons to crumble fortress walls and smash through fortified gates. Conquer the Imperial City, and your
alliance’s top player could even be crowned Emperor!
Get ready for the most intense online PvP experience ever
created, with The Elder Scrolls Online.
The System
In The Elder Scrolls
Online, players choose to become members of one of three alliances. Each
alliance has a unique story and specific goals.
The Daggerfall Covenant is comprised of the two Provinces of
northwest Tamriel: High Rock and Hammerfell, home to the Bretons and the
Redguards. The Covenant has also offered the Orcs the opportunity to
return to
their ancient homeland of Orsinium in exchange for their support.
Working together, the three races have formed a powerful alliance that
aims to restore the Second Empire and bring peace and prosperity back to
Tamriel.
The Ebonheart Pact is the most tenuous of alliances,
consisting of former enemies turned allies in northern and eastern Tamriel. The
Nords, Dark Elves, and Argonians of Skyrim, Morrowind, and Black Marsh fight to
restore stability to the Empire and ensure their own autonomy.
The Aldmeri Dominion is composed of the three races of
southern Tamriel: the Wood Elves of Valenwood, the Khajiit of Elsweyr and the
leaders of the Pact, the High Elves of the Summerset Isles. The Aldmeri
Dominion fights to stop the dangerous machinations of humankind, and restore the
Elven dominance in Tamriel.
The Elder Scrolls Online features the largest PvP battles seen
in a major online RPG. The game supports hundreds of onscreen players in epic
battles. Swords and axes collide, spells and powers illuminate the ground and
sky, and fires rage on embattled stronghold walls. Will you survive these epic
battles? Can your overwhelming force take the keep, or will you be forced to
retreat? The Elder Scrolls
Online is built to accommodate hundreds of players onscreen at once.
Territory Gains
The three alliances do battle in the region of Cyrodiil,
seeking to control the Imperial City and with it, the Ruby Throne of Tamriel.
Each alliance must wrest control of strategic territories from the others,
including massive fortresses, each with supporting farms, lumber mills, and
other valuable resources.
Battles are concentrated around these resources and
strongholds. Control of certain resources will extend the alliance’s influence
in the region and help them take control of the Imperial City, and ultimately,
control of the Ruby Throne itself.
Can you seize enough territory to control the Ruby Throne?
Control Elder Scrolls
Elder Scrolls are artifacts of immense power that aid an
alliance in the ongoing battle to control Tamriel by conferring bonuses to
every member of that alliance. Each alliance has a special stronghold in
Cyrodiil where their Elder Scrolls are kept and protected – but enemy alliances
can break in and take them if they are not guarded properly. Once access is gained and a Scroll taken, it
must be taken back across Cyrodiil and placed in the alliance’s stronghold. Only
then are the bonuses of the Scroll bestowed upon all the members of that
alliance.
Capture an Elder Scroll, protect it, and return it to your alliance’s stronghold to wield its power and gain bonuses.
Siege Weapons
The battles for keeps and resources require more than the
clash of steel. Alliances must use massive
siege weapons to break down walls, smash open doors, and obliterate the armies
of their opponents.
Everything from trebuchets and catapults to ballistae and
battering rams are available for players to capture and use, allowing them to
demolish the stone walls of keeps and collapse massive gates to gain entrance
to heavily defended strongholds.
Become Emperor
In The Elder Scrolls
Online, the highest-ranking player of an alliance is crowned Emperor when
their alliance takes control of the Imperial City. You aren’t just fighting for
your alliance; you’re fighting for the opportunity to be crowned Emperor,
yourself.
Emperors gain special abilities that increase their prowess
on the battlefield. They are true leaders of their alliance, and a force to be
reckoned with.
An Emperor’s hold on power can be tenuous. Can your alliance protect all of the strongholds
necessary to maintain your dominance? How long will your reign as Emperor last before
an ambitious foe cuts you down?
Participation & Scaling
Player vs. Player (PvP) in The Elder Scrolls Online is fun, rewarding, and accessible for PvP
veterans or new players with no PvP experience.
The collapse of the Second Empire has left a vacuum of power
in the Imperial City, and three alliances battle for supremacy. Whoever
controls the Ruby Throne will crown an Emperor, and their alliance will rule
all of Tamriel. The Elder Scrolls
Online features a battle leveling system that temporarily increases a
player’s combat effectiveness to compete against higher level players, ensuring
that everyone enjoys the experience, from players who have never experienced PvP
combat, to seasoned veterans demanding a deep, rewarding PvP experience.
Players may join the PvP action as soon as they reach level 10, and jump right
into the action without fear.
Whether you’re a veteran or a rookie, you’ll be able to
fight as a valuable member of your alliance and perhaps even lay claim to the throne.
Leaderboards and Achievements
The Elder Scrolls
Online features leaderboards and achievements. Keep track of your ranking and
compare yourself, your alliance, and your guild to that of your friends and
enemies.
Points and Gold
While fighting for an alliance in PvP, players earn points
that can help them purchase siege weaponry and other bonuses to aid their allies
in the heated pitch of battle.
Just jumping in for the first time? Don’t worry – you can
still earn siege weapons and bonuses! If you have yet to play PvP and want to
join, you can contribute immediately by using gold earned in Player vs.
Environment (PvE) in lieu of points.
