Game Informer recently released two faction profiles for the upcoming fantasy MMO, The Elder Scrolls Onilne. The profiles cover two of the three alliances: The Aldmeri Dominion and the Daggerfall Covenant.

During the second era, in a time before any previous Elder Scrolls game, the world of Tamriel descended into a four-way war. In an attempt to conquer the continent, the Imperials – natives to the province of Cyrodiil – made a deal with the Daedric prince Molag Bal. At the beginning of Elder Scrolls Online, players join one of three factions that not only oppose the Imperials and Molag Bal’s undead army, but will also battle one another for the imperial throne. Elder Scrolls Online features three different alliances. Three different philosophies. Three different ways to approach the game.
