Even so, the Stormcloaks still show prejudice to the Altmer, though on a much lesser scale than their Dunmeri cousins from Morrowind.Īfter the signing of the White-Gold Concordat, Altmeri presence in Skyrim have increased considerably, mostly in the form of Thalmor soldiers and Justiciars. Another potential possibility is that during the rise of the Thalmor, many Altmer with strong loyalty to the Empire fled the Summerset Isles to escape the new Aldmeri Dominion. Others became members of the College of Winterholddue to their innate magical abilities. Many of the Altmer encountered emigrated from the Summerset Isles to become AlchemistsEnchantersand mages in Skyrim. Thalmor Justiciars encountered on the roads are almost always antagonistic, using veiled hostility if not outright aggression when encountered, though this is usually in the form of verbal warnings. Resentment toward the Altmer, and toward the Empire for surrendering to them, runs rampant in the proud Nords of Skyrim. The Elves' ruling government, the Thalmor, are Elven supremacists determined to end the dominance of man and the Empire as a whole. The Empire saved itself only by negotiating the White-Gold Concordata treaty which seems to heavily favor the Dominion, though there were great casualties on both sides. However, as with all races, when in first-person mode, the camera height is 1. High Elves are well known for their noble countenance, and are arrogant or disdainful more often than not when addressing humans. Altmer are among the most intelligent and magically-inclined races on Nirnsurpassing even the Bretons in magical aptitude. They are slender, with prominently pointed ears and almond-shaped eyes that can be amber, green, or yellow. Their skin maintains a very pale gold hue, not quite the pale white of the northern human races such as Nords or Bretonsbut far lighter than the Bosmer.

They are among the tallest of the humanoid races, taller than most humans and much taller than other mer. As a race, some Altmer strive to maintain the appearance of their ancestor race, the Aldmerprimarily through highly selective traditions surrounding marriage and reproduction. Due to their magical affinities, the Altmer excel at mage-based classes. They can call upon their Highborn power to regenerate Magicka quickly. Known as 'Altmer' in their homeland of Summerset Islethe High Elves are the most gifted in the arcane arts of all the races.
