To survive that long, you need an insane level of magical skill. Elenwen is an ambassador for the Thalmor in Skyrim. Hardly at the forefront of arcanal study. And, another question, have you played ESO, and met this "Elenwen" whom you are talking about? She runs an inn. I don't even know why I've bothered to write a reply here. So? You do realise that many people who joined the NSDAP also used to work common jobs, right? Just because she works at an inn doesn't mean she'll do so her entire life. Remember that guy in Rorikstead? He used to work the farm, you can turn him into a mercenary. Seeing as the fact that they both descended from *Aldmer* yes, you know, that ancestor race of all mer? It's safe to assume that Altmer too live long lives. "" A leader of the Psijics, Rite Master Iachesis, apparently led them throughout the entire First Era (about three thousand years), giving some indication of the potential longevity of the Altmer."

Keep in mind they practice eugenics, and lifespan is different per family. Some will only life to die at a young age, some far more than that. Also, they are able to die easily to disease, so their life spans really don't come into account much.
