Bosmer (Skyrim)



Wood Elves reject the stiff, formal traditions of Aldmeri high culture, instead preferring a romantic, simple existence in harmony with nature and its creatures. These "country cousins" of the High Elves and Dark Elves are nimble and quick in body and wit, and because of their curious natures and natural agility, they excel in Stealth roles.

Starting Spells
Todd Howard has also stated that "They also have different starting spells and each has its own passive abilities, like before"
 * no details confirmed at this time

This may make the starting spells more important than in the past games as it has been confirmed that the only ways to learn additional spells are to find spell tomes or to buy them from merchants. In other words, each spell in the game will be more valuable than in previous games because of the lack of custom spell creation.

Note: Not a complete list.

Note: The Flames spell, which when cast produces a continuous stream of fire, has been said in an article to be a starting spell for every race.
