Imperials As An ESO Race Option

The Imperial race is only available to The Elder Scrolls Online through purchasing the Imperial Edition of the game.  If you didn’t purchase the Imperial Edition, you can purchase the upgrade through the Crown Store for 2100 crowns.

Imperials are quite unique in that they do not belong to any of the three alliance factions.  You may choose which alliance you’d like to join with an Imperial.

In-Game Race Description And Passives

Within the game, Imperials are described as:  The racial skills of the Imperials reflect their combat training and perseverance in battle, giving them bonuses to gold drop rates, shield proficiency, base health and stamina, and resource recovery when fighting back, making them resolute fighters.
