Falmer, Dunmer, Altmer or Ayleids etc it's all Mer to me.

They all falsely claim and believe they have divine origin without a shred of proof.

They do all resent their mortal state, and they do all hate Lorkhan and by extension Men ('cept possibly the Dwemer but they're gone so plus one for Mer).

We don't really need to know the specifics of their culture to judge them, and their ultimate judgement and fate came at the hands not of Men but of fellow Mer which is deliciously ironic in a hilariously dark way.

Did not really know the Falmer/Snow Elves had a live in harmony with nature ting, would have thought that to be the Bosmers thing ah well.

We do know that the Falmer are the ones that started the conflict and escalated it by literally murdering all human in Skyrim except Ysgramor.

What did they think the human response to such an unprecedented act of slaughter and butchery would be?

And why whould humans have shown restraint against people who have shown themselves unrepentant murderers untrustworthy to live peacefully with.

Good to know you realise that the Altmers culture has to go, and well sure exceptions to prove the rule could possible have some cermonial power I guess just not anything dangerous.

Just as long as we're clear Nords lived in the Reach first and then Bretons came and then some odd years down the line after intermarriage and interbreeding they started calling themselves Reachmen and to consider themselves a separate people.

I really haven't seen much too suggest that the Nord invasions of the Reach were unprovoked nor that they were for anyother reason than to stop the Reachmen's brutal and murderous practices and the Reach does belong in Skyrim.

So attempts to seccede with be acts of provocation, so long as they continued to be part of Skyrim I'm sure they could practise their horrible religion to their hearts(heh, briarhearts) content.

I seem to recall the Empire butting in a few times as well.

Wasn't just Nord invasions and "unprovoked" aggressions.

Apologies for any harsh tone in the above.

And the last part you said is true enough but to go further in comparison, what if the man's son is a lunatic who had murdered the father and was trying to steal parts of the cousins house?

Just a thought.
