The Ebonheart Pact is an unlikely, yet formidable, alliance forged by the Nords of Skyrim, the Dunmer of Morrowind, and the Argonians of Black Marsh. Led by Jorunn the Skald-King, they are united by a shared history of conflict and a fierce desire for self-determination, standing against perceived foreign domination.
The Ebonheart Pact 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
- Bleakrock Isle (starter zone)
- Bal Foyen (second starter zone)
- Stonefalls
- Deshaan
- Shadowfen
- Eastmarch
- The Rift
Bleakrock Isle
Bleakrock Isle, a small, snow-dusted island off the coast of Skyrim, where a hardy Nordic and Dunmer community strives for peaceful coexistence. Your arrival coincides with a sudden and devastating Daggerfall Covenant invasion, thrusting you into a desperate struggle to warn the mainland and save the island's inhabitants from destruction.
Bal Foyen
Bal Foyen, a marshy, volcanic region bordering Morrowind and Skyrim, acting as a staging ground for the Pact. The respite is short-lived as the Daggerfall Covenant's relentless assault continues, bringing the fight directly to the Pact's shores and demanding your immediate assistance to fortify defenses and repel the invading forces.
Stonefalls
Stonefalls, the harsh, volcanic heartland of the Dunmer in Morrowind, a land shaped by ash and ancient traditions. This region is under siege as a Daedric cult exploits the chaos of the war, igniting widespread unrest and unleashing infernal powers, forcing the Ebonheart Pact to confront a threat that imperils not just their lands but the very fabric of reality.
