Thalmor (Skyrim)



The Thalmor, as of the 4th era, are the ruling government of the Aldmeri Dominion. As explained by Delphine, the Thalmor are Elven Supremacists who seek to end the Empire and the dominance of man.

Background
Thalmor was the name of the provisional government set up by the Bosmer and the Altmer during the Aldmeri Dominion. They are agents of the Aldmeri Dominion who investigate and stop any worship of Talos in the Empire. It is commonly believed that the Thalmor would have destroyed the Empire of Tamriel if not for the White-Gold Concordat, which included the removal of Talos from the Pantheon of Gods.

The Thalmor claim to be the saviors of Mer, during the Oblivion Crisis. The Thalmor claim they closed the Gates of Oblivion in the Elven lands much like the Champion of Cyrodiil did at Kvatch and Bruma. It was ultimately the sacrifice of Martin Septim that ended the Oblivion Crisis, saving all of Tamriel, including the Elves. Their supremacist ideals likely caused them to consider themselves the Mer saviors, refusing to believe that it was a man who saved them.

Skyrim
In charge of Northwatch Keep, the Thalmor is still in operation. An adviser, named Ancano, was sent to The College of Winterhold to oversee its studies. During his stay, Ancano attempted to absorb the power of the Eye of Magnus, killing the Arch-Mage and Master Wizard in the process. The Dragonborn, armed with the Staff of Magnus, ended the endeavor.
