I know a bit about the Falmer...

When the Atmorans, or Nords, arrived in Mereth, or ancient Skyrim, from Atmora, there was peace between them. The Snow Elves saw how fast the Nords were thriving, so they planned an attack on the ancient city Saarthal. Almost all were killed, but a man named Ysgramor and his two sons Yngol and Ylgar survived. They sailed back to Atmora, and told of the murderous elves. Ysgramor gathered up an army, named the Five Hundred Companions, to sail to Skyrim and drive the Snow Elves. They succeded in taking back Saarthal, and the longest recorded war in the history of Tamriel commenced. After a long war, the last battle came. The Battle of the Moesring was ended when the Snow Prince, the most well respected Falmer, was killed by Finna, a 12 year old girl who saw her mother get killed by the Snow Prince. Finna threw her mother's sword at him, and it got lodged in his chest, killing him. After, all other Falmer either ran, or were killed by warriors.

After, the Falmer went to the Dwemer for help. The Dwemer said they would help them, but instead fed the Falmer a toxic fungi that blinded them and they were enslaved. A theory from a book in Skyrim states that the Falmer agreed to eating the fungi, but they just de-evolved through time. They still roam Dwemer ruins from when they were still alive.

There are 2 remaining Falmer left in the Dawnguard DLC. Knight-Paladin Gelebor, and Arch-Curate Vyrthur. Vythur attacks you, but Gelebor cannot be attacked.

That's pretty much all that I can say. I didn't delve into some misc. things about it, but this is a general overview. Take into account that I'm 11, also.
