The Aldmeri Dominion is an alliance driven by the High Elves of Summerset, who believe their ancient wisdom and magical prowess are essential to restore order to Tamriel. Led by Queen Ayrenn, they are joined by their Bosmer kin of Valenwood and the Khajiit of Elsweyr, forming a united front to reclaim the continent from the perceived chaos of Men.
The Aldmeri Dominion storyline is part of the base game and does not require any additional purchase or DLC.
Cadwell's Almanac
Cadwell's Almanac is an in-game system that allows you to track and complete the main storylines of the two alliances you didn't choose at character creation. This feature becomes available as a new tab in your Journal once you finish the game's Main Quest.
- Daggerfall Covenant members will explore the Aldmeri Dominion as part of their Cadwell's Silver objectives.
- Ebonheart Pact members will experience the Aldmeri Dominion as part of their Cadwell's Gold objectives.
The order in which you can experience the alliances if you follow Cadwell's Almanac:
Aldmeri Dominion story zones in chronological order
- Khenarthi's Roost (starter island)
- Auridon
- Grahtwood
- Greenshade
- Malabal Tor
- Reaper's March
Khenarthi's Roost
A tranquil tropical island paradise, Khenarthi's Roost is where your journey begins. Don't let the swaying palms fool you; a sudden storm and the mysterious arrival of a shipwrecked queen quickly plunge this peaceful haven into a whirl of intrigue and danger, forcing you to step up and prove your worth to the newly formed Aldmeri Dominion.
Auridon
Auridon, the majestic heartland of the High Elves. As the first major port of call, you'll witness the grandeur of Summerset's architecture and the rigid traditions of its people. Yet, beneath this polished surface, treachery brews within the ranks of the Aldmeri Dominion itself, threatening to unravel the very alliance Queen Ayrenn seeks to solidify. You'll be thrust into a conspiracy to expose the traitors and secure the Dominion's future.
