took the time to post this in this thread, since im a fan of Skyrim and i've gotten deep into the world of TES.

i think the Falmer are already in the way of re-evolving too, look at what they have built in the Forgotten Valley, they're practically living in the surface now, and it doesnt seems to afect them in any way. so as falmers start to make their living in the valley they will eventually regain sight. the open space also opens the option of better posture, so no more hunchbacked gollums here. as they need to stay alert for enemies. their livestocks is well adapted to the valley already too.

the falmer will never re-evolve into snow elves though, but they could potentially be an interactable race. even they could in time see Gelebor as a mythical figure, a show of what their ancestors were, and he could teach them what was the living of the original ones. the Falmer may still be in war with the nords and may represent a menace much like the Forsworn do, or in the case of those living in forgotten valley, they could adop the ways of the inner sanctum and start an small secluded society dedicated to enlightment.

my best bet is that a re-evolved falmer would look like Nosferatu itself. the only difference between the actual falmers and those evolved would be that they have better musculature due to more food avaliable, they would have an erect posture and functional eyes. i dont know about the hair, but at least the females seem to show presence of it, the females could be the only ones to have hair, the males are completelly bald.

the Chaurus must still be a fundamental part of their society, i can even see them using Chaurus Hunters for warfare and communication (pigeons, anyway?), and even using the Chaurus like beasts of burden or even mounts.

i dont think they will adopt the divines as their religion, but maybe they will get to adore Aur-iel or keep to shamanistic traditions related to their underground heritage. maybe even form a pantheon from their own history, dont know much how would they get along with Dwemer automatons, but they could even be the best source to know about Dwemer ruins since they have already habited them, and from what i've seen they made some modifications to them (like using pumps as tunnels in order to traverse the ruins)

the Falmer is one of those races in which you can see tons of possibilities for development if given the time to do it.

i dont see them conquering skyrim but maybe trying to use their own history to develop their future, they wont be historical zealots like the Altmer, nor will be the original Snow Elves either....they are a completelly different race with their own history and their own evolution both biologically and culturally.....
