I said that I guess the Thalmor made the moons disappear. It was a hypothesis, and I apologize if my post came across as anything else. I have no proof, I just think that it is the most likely scenario based on what we know about the Thalmor. It is also quite possible that the Thalmor claimed responsibility for something they had nothing to do with.

But just what do you know is a bold faced lie? Ah, yes you did say that but you also seemed sure that they brought the Moons back.

That is what I asked for proof of, that they brought them back.

Guess I conflated the two statements, my bad.

What we know of the Thalmor is that they are stage magicians, all talk and bragging, taking of credit for everything in existance.

That the Thalmor or Altmer in general made the Moons disappear and then return.

Are more descended from divinity than other Races etc, those are the kind of things I know to be bold faced lies

Ah, I see! Thank you. Miscommunication happens :)

I believe that "stage magicians" here refers to the Thalmor taking credit for things they didn't do. The Thalmor claim that they saved all elvenkind from the Oblivion Crisis (in case you don't know this, it was the Hero of Kvatch that saved everyone).

They're stage magicians because they're dishonest and deceptive. They use lies and misdirection to alter the way others perceive them. In that regard, they're just like the magicians in Las Vegas or politicians running for office. I don't think anyone here is claiming that Altmer or the Thalmor are incompetent mages.
