With focusing on mainly lost Tamrielic elves  ( as most lore exists on them ), the Mer have various forms.

Falmeri = Ancient Snow Elf  :  they disdain in the state of Nirn, their kin, & their failure towards certain sacred campaigns ( or raids on Men if you see it that way ).

Falmer = "the betrayed"  :  they despise outsiders & either enslave or kill those they don't trust.

Dwemer  :  logical, agnostic, deist, orderly Mer that count works as a most noteable virtue. They have a pantheon that citizens may worship at their leisure, but Dwemer are wary of cults, rebellion, & things that impede progress. They scorn / deny the Daedra, but tolerate Jyggalag.

Aylieds  :  they rival & oppose the Dwemer from afar. They are open to worship, but moreso when it adds to their arcane power. They build into the grounds to pool energy from the stars rather than mine & research. They are much fonder of Daedra, & assert some forms of belief.
