Ok the snow elves usest to rule all of skyrim so how comes the only snow elf ruins are in the forgotten vale?. There are tons of dwarfen ruins and even a dwarfen city, which I think is a bit silly because there should be an even greater number of snow elves ruins because it was there country in the first place.

Just look at how many elf ruins there were in Oblivion there was tons of them, skyrim need more snow elf ruinings.

The ruins in Oblivion were of Ayleids, the Wild Elves, native to Cyrodiil.

Dwemer were better builders than Falmer so their buildings have lasted far longer and note that Dwemer built mainly underground when Falmer built on the ground where all the weathers cast their affects on them and where the Nords and Giants lives. Also it may be that Nords maybe have used all the well cut stones from Falmer buildings for their own buildings.

Also exists the possibility that the Nords destroyed all traces of the Snow Elves they could during the war.

Driving them out with pure force and destroying or as the post above me noted, potentially reusing materials.

And the Falmer are what?Natives of Elswhere?



The architectural of the Falmer buddings looks as solid as the Dwmer one if not better considering they have shrines that could teleport you.


That is kinda the only logical explanation, that the Nords took them down stone by stone.

Without the Falmer to maintain their cities, they melted.
