| Alliance | Border Keep |
|---|---|
| Aldmeri Dominion | Eastern Elsweyr Western Elsweyr |
| Daggerfall Covenant | Northern High Rock Southern High Rock |
| Ebonheart Pact | Northern Morrowind Southern Morrowind |
Players enter the campaign at one of two border keeps that belong to their alliance. The Aldmeri Dominion set up on the south side of Cyrodiil, with the Daggerfall Covenant in the northwest and the Ebonheart Pact to the northeast. These bases are basically the staging areas—providing Merchants, mission boards, and a means of travel within and outside the zone.
Speak to the quest givers as you enter a campaign for the first time, and play through the introductory quests to learn the ins and outs of warfare. This is worthwhile simply for getting the hang of moving around and seizing enemy strongholds.
