I do love the Falmer Chantry to Auri-El, but I liked the Ayleids a bit more because aside from their architecture, which makes up the Imperial city, they were so powerful that the humans needed the help of gods to defeat them. The Dwemer come next after them, because of their technological achievements.

Then I would have the Altmer after them, because the Altmer had proficiency in magic, and their performance in the Great War prior to Skyrim established them as a threat. After them would be the Dunmer, whose culture and magic are a bit interesting, but nowhere near as powerful as the Altmer.

Then I suppose it'll be the Falmer, Bosmer, and Orsimer, with the last two being equals, because Falmer magic and architecture was also interesting, but they got wiped out due to their own bad choices. The Bosmer and Orsimer don't really entice me outside of them being similar to the Night Elves and Orcs from Warcraft.
