We have too many damn elves! Around every [censored] corner its another [censored] elf. You can walk for 30 seconds without a elf jumping in your face and spreading his [censored] elfness everywere.
[censored] ELVES!
Ya, somthing else.
At the Dawn there were Ehlnofey and Hist.
Hist are unchanging and immobile and still inhabit Black Marsh as they did in the beginning.
Ehlnofey change and wander.
Those that wandered to Yokuda became the Redguards, those that wandered to Atmora became the Nedes.
Eventually they returned to Tamriel, the Nedes differentiating in Breton, Nord, Imperial by interbreeding with mannish and merish races that stayed. These are the mannish races.
The Ehlnofey that stayed became the Mer. There were Mer that left, but the left-handed elves are extinct.
These Aldmer differentiated into Chimer, who became Dunmer. Altmer are closest to Aldmer.
Orsimer are the cursed ones who were changed when their patron deity Trinimac became Malacath.
Bosmer were wild elves who entered a pact with Yffre.
Khajiit are Ehlnofey that made a pact with Azura and changed.
Argonians are of the Hist.
