Also, anything blind cannot fire a bow and hope to hit anything. I get it heightened senses. But for bows that just won't work. Eyesight is the most vital part of shotting a bow. Without eyes they might as well be shotting at each other.

Now for the actual weapons and armor, Not the worst kind out there, it's just as strong as steel. HOw do they make that? It can't be from the original snow elves... The armor is completely different.

Then their constructions. How do they even make the chests in the first place. Or the tents and Fences? They seem to know exactly where to put them as well. Do they hear or smell the friggin cliff?

Lastly, Muffle, sure they might smell you but in order to get to you and know your position that fast. Their noses has to be a few hundred times more powerful than a dogs.

Falmer cannot possibly be blind. It's Impossibru!

Also, I hope falmer alphabet refers to the snow elves... All those things can be explained with one thing:

Game mechanics.

And Game mechanics =/= Lore (even though Lore partially bases on Game mechanics, but that is not the case right now).

It's stated that the Betrayed are blind. But their other senses, such as hearing, feeling, etc became stronger because of that. For example, I think they can hear where exactly a person stands and can then shoot at that person because of their superb ears.
