:''"The rash actions of those who sit the Ruby Throne, or who pull their strings, have brought Tamriel to the verge of irretrievable doom. They must be scoured from the face of Cyrodiil, and the decaying remains of the Empire of Men must be swept away. It shall be replaced by the Pact, which will enforce peace across the continent and strictly regulate all involvement in dangerous magical pursuits."'' — Alla Lalleth{{ref|name=TTOTEP|{{Cite book|The Time of the Ebonheart Pact}}}}</noinclude>
The {{Lore Link|Ebonheart Pact}} was a military alliance between {{Lore Link|Morrowind}}, Eastern {{Lore Link|Skyrim}}, and {{Lore Link|Black Marsh}} during the chaotic {{Lore Link|Interregnum}} of the {{Lore Link|Second Era}}. It vied with the {{Lore Link|Aldmeri Dominion}} and {{Lore Link|Daggerfall Covenant}} for control over the contested Ruby Throne in {{Lore Link|Cyrodiil}}. It was a creation of unlikely allies, who had long histories of strife between them, but united for mutual defense, first against {{Lore Link|Akavir}}i invaders and later against the {{Lore Link|Daedra|Daedric}} cultists of {{Lore Link|Molag Bal}} in Cyrodiil. They aimed to wipe away the rash rule of the {{Lore Link|Empire}} and end once and for all mortals' entanglements with higher power from beyond {{Lore Link|Nirn}}.{{ref|name=TTOTEP}} The Pact was led by {{Lore Link|Jorunn}} the Skald-King, who headed the {{Lore Link|Great Moot}}, as well as the three {{Lore Link|Tribunal|living gods}} of the Dunmer.<noinclude>
==History==
The Pact arose out of the {{Lore Link|Second Akaviri Invasion}} in {{Year|2E 572}}.

In an unprecedented show of cooperation between races with a great deal of historical enmity, Jorunn and Almalexia worked together to encircle Dir-Kamal's forces in {{Lore Link|Stonefalls}}.{{ref|name=UA|{{Cite book|Unexpected Allies}}}} It was a close-fought engagement until the surprise arrival of {{Lore Link|Argonian}} reinforcements, who helped drive the invaders back into the sea, ending their threat to Tamriel.{{ref|name=TSAI}}
