Unlike men, who believe themselves to have been created along with the world by the gods, Elves believe themselves to be descended from these gods, calling them the Aedra, "Ancestors". They consider themselves the successors of the Aldmer and the highest of all races. Their racials in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim include: +50 magicka, "Highborn" ability which regenerates magic faster, and the "Fury" spell at the start of the game.Īltmer is the elven name of their race, meaning High Folk, and most likely a derivation of the name of the first race of elves, the Aldmer, meaning First or Elder Folk. However, in Arena and Daggerfall, the first two games in the series, they had none of those strength and weaknesses but instead boasted an immunity to paralyzing magical effects. In Morrowind and Oblivion they had a weakness to fire, frost, and shock magic, but boasted the greatest magicka bonus of all the races, while their 'pure' bodies give them greater resistance to diseases. Their unique abilities have changed throughout the series. They tend to be proud and consider themselves the most civilized race.

They are taller than the other races and have a golden skin color. The Altmer, also called High Elves, live in the Summerset Isle. Although the Aldmer no longer exist as a distinct race, their culture lives on throughout the Empire, forming the basis of Tamrielic Language and Religion. The term "Aldmer" is sometimes used to describe the entire Elven race, as in the "Aldmeri Dominion", or in common Elven usage, as evidenced by the entry for "Aldmer" in the Elder Scrolls of mandooTreasury. By the beginning of recorded history, they had already branched off into a number of distinct populations, among them the present-day Altmer. Beyond Aldmeris, their first known settlements were in southwestern Tamriel, from which they eventually moved on to settle the entire continent. As is often the case with Elder Scrolls lore, many contradictory accounts concerning Aldmeris exist, with some suggesting it to be entirely mythological. Certain maps are cautious enough to exclude the mythic continent from their mappings of Nirn, while others place it to the south of Tamriel. It traces their origins first to the mythic continent of Aldmeris, noting the alternate rendering of Old Elhofney for the place. The Oblivion in-game book " Before the Ages of Man" is the most comprehensive source of their history. The Aldmer, translated as the First or Elder Folk, are thought to be the first race to appear on the world of Nirn.
