They are the best magisters in all of Tamriel and probably Nirn. They live 300 - 400 years and can expand their life with magic. They defeated the Maormer, Sload, Empire, and Daedra. The Altmer are unquestionabley powerful, they are right for outlawing Talos worship in the 4th Era. Tiber Septim united a Empire after he helped break much laws in Tamriel I believe Tiber Septim murdered the Prince of the Empire and burned down a palace in Cyrodiil. The Eight Divines, created an entire world and populated it. If a person like Queen Ayrenn united all provinces except Black-Marsh, would she therefore become a god? #Nord Lovers, go read some actual lore please. Queen Ayrenn was born 2E 555, before the events of skyrim. that means she cant unify tamriel because she doesnt materially exist in the 4E and im 99% certain the high elves dont dominate tamriel in this time nor did they unify it (which they wouldn't, they would have it for themselves).

Tiber septim is a god because he is quite powerful being a dragonborn and actually did something the divines considered good, Queen Ayrenn is nothing more than a politician and a petty warrior.

its also highly questionable whether they defeated the empire or not, as the empire wasnt completely destroyed, only a peace treaty was signed and according to lore the reguards beat them in hammerfell, thus meaning that they arent really all high and mighty.

High elves or altmer arent the only ones who can extend their life with magic, dark elves also have equal ability to do so and im certain any race could do so, it would just take time and perfection for those who arent naturally adept in their magical powers.
