Zenimax Online Studios has posted its first 2013 update for The Elder Scrolls Online with the first part of the answers to their “Ask Us Anything” series for the Daggerfall Covenant. The devs field a number of questions relating to the lore of the Daggerfall Covenant ranging from the backstory of its factions, religious differences, and their perception of each other.

Will the religious differences within the three races, particularly those of the Orcs and Redguards, be emphasized? Will there be Daedra-worshipping cults?  – By Emmy Mariner

Political alliances and enmities can either mitigate or exaggerate religious differences. The leaders of the Covenant are eager to suppress religious conflicts between Bretons, Redguards, and Orcs in the interest of solidarity. And Orcish leaders, such as King Kurog, emphasize that the Orcs of Orsinium worship Mauloch, who absolutely isn’t a Daedric Prince at all, honest. It’s those other Orcs who worship the Daedra Lord Malacath.

Read the full Q&A here for all the details.
