The Daggerfall Covenant is a pragmatic alliance forged by the Bretons of High Rock, the Redguards of Hammerfell, and the Orcs of Orsinium. Led by High King Emeric, they aim to restore a just Empire under their rule, valuing trade, martial strength, and honor as they stand against both Daedric threats and rival alliances.
The Daggerfall Covenant 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.
- Aldmeri Dominion members will experience the Daggerfall Covenant as part of their Cadwell's Gold objectives.
- Ebonheart Pact members will experience the Daggerfall Covenant as part of their Cadwell's Silver objectives.
The order in which you can experience the alliances if you follow Cadwell's Almanac:
Daggerfall Covenant story zones in chronological order
- Stros M'Kai (starter zone)
- Betnikh (second starter zone)
- Glenumbra
- Stormhaven
- Rivenspire
- Alik'r Desert
- Bangkorai
Stros M'Kai
Stros M'Kai, a vibrant, sun-drenched island off the coast of Hammerfell, renowned for its Redguard pirates, grand past, and recent Imperial occupation. Your journey begins amidst political unrest and the shadow of the late Crown Prince's death, forcing you to quickly adapt to the volatile waters and decide where your loyalties truly lie.
Betnikh
Betnikh, a rugged island outpost nestled between High Rock and Hammerfell, home to a fierce Orcish stronghold. While seemingly a peaceful, if rough, haven, ancient Orcish traditions clash with modern alliances when a sacred historical site comes under threat, demanding your strength and cunning to preserve its legacy.
Glenumbra
Glenumbra, the misty, forested heartland of the Breton people, dotted with ancient ruins and proud strongholds. This land is gripped by a growing supernatural darkness, as ancient evils stir and a shadowy curse spreads, forcing the nascent Daggerfall Covenant to confront threats that challenge both their martial might and their understanding of the arcane.
