Orcs As An ESO Race Option
Orcs are part of the Daggerfall Covenant faction in The Elder Scrolls Online. This faction was created by a pack between the people of northwestern Tamriel which includes Bretons, Redguards, and Orcs. The symbol of the Daggerfall Covenant is a lion. The colors of the Covenant are blue and silver.
Lore says that the areas of High Rock, the Kingdom of Orsinium, and the Kingdom of Sentinel developed this alliance to use its military for securing lucrative trade routes. Players selecting this faction will begin in Stros M’Kai after their escape from Coldharbour.
