User blog comment:Jimeee/Skryim DLC Details Leaked in 1.5.26 Update Files - The Snow Prince!?/@comment-1786741-20120429181019/@comment-5060344-20120430162328

I agree that time travel is not neccessary or even likely as an explanation, but given the Elder Scrolls law I don't think the possibility can be ignored.

But if the Snow Elves were able to escape the final fight on Solstheim and the Dwemer betrayal, where did they go? They can't be on any of the main Tamriel provinces or some comment would have been made, although the Ayelids survived the fall of their empire as a scattered force in the wilderness.

However, the idea of a prince suggests some kind of organized civilistaion which would have been apparent had the Falmer done something similar. I suppose the most likely explanation is that they are in places like Blackreach.

Damn, why am I now thinking "There are fouler things than orcs in the deep places of the world".
