Scholarly Altmer Beast wrote: You guys do know that the Aldmeri dominion is different in TESO right? Lots of people are haters towards High elves (and rightfully so), but the thalmor are only a a political group of high elves and don't necessarily speak for all of the altmer. After the oblivion crisis they took over the government of the Summerset Isles and invaded Valenwood, reforming the previous aldmeri dominion. This dominion was forged in cruelty and conquest by an extremist group of Altmer, whereas the dominion in TESO is an alliance of Altmer and Bosmer who share a common goal, and helped the Khajit overcome an epidemic of influenza. So for all those not joining the dominion purely because you hate the Thalmor (as do we all) they are two completely different things, and that shouldn't affect the way you choose your race or alliance. My first character was an Altmer, and i do love them, but i disagree with the thalmors idea of mer superiority over man.

I know. I know that it is the first Aldmeri Dominion, not the third (the one everyone hates) i just didnt like the idea in general.
