The Aldmeri Dominion is led by the young Queen Ayrenn and governed by the Thalmor, a collection of Altmeri Canonreeves, Bosmeri Treethanes and Khajiit Chieftains. Its capital is Elden Root, hidden deep within the forests of the Bosmeri Valenwood. The Aldmeri Dominion stretches over the provinces of the Summerset Isles, Valenwood and Elsweyr. Members of the Aldmeri Dominion believe that the short-lived and young races of Men are unfit to rule, and that this role is meant by the Divines to be filled by the Aldmeri Dominion itself. It is said that the three allied races were the most intelligent, patient and rational in all of Tamriel. The Dominion was formed in an attempt to take control of the Imperial City and restore Elven rule to Tamriel. The cultured and typically reclusive Altmer have emerged from their ancestral home of the Summerset Isles alongside the Bosmer of Valenwood and crafty Khajiit of Elsweyr to usher in a new era of peace and law. Ĭonvinced that the younger, less sophisticated races have dominated Tamriel too long, the Dominion seeks to right the course of history. As they had done many times before, they swore that with the combined forces of the three races, they shall prevent the disaster that was to come. After the news of the Imperial City being taken over by Molag Bal worshippers had reached Summerset Isle, the Altmer reached out to their old allies, neighboring races- Bosmer and Khajiit. They were afraid of the disaster that the younger races could bring to Nirn. The Aldmeri Dominion was formed sometime between 2E 580 and 2E 582 by the Altmer (it can also be referred to as the 'brainchild' of Queen Ayrenn). The starting location for this faction is the city of Vulkhel Guard in the province of the Summerset Isles, if none of the game's Chapters have been downloaded, or else the starting location will be the most recent Chapter's zone. The First Aldmeri Dominion, also known as simply the Aldmeri Dominion, is one of the three joinable alliances in The Elder Scrolls Online. Today we take back the Ruby Throne, which is ours by ancient right and the blessings of the Divines. Domination is not our goal, nor is the acclamation of power for its own sake. The Altmer, the Bosmer and the Khajiit share the common traits of intelligence, patience and reason. I would sooner place an Altmer infant on the Ruby Throne than surrender Tamriel to their capricious whims. They lack the wisdom that comes with age. Like all children, they are driven by emotion. "I have no hatred for the races of Man, but they are young.
