What are the Lilmothiit, Bird People of Cyrodiil, and Dreugh

The Lilmothiit are a now extinct race of Beast folk that were like Khajiit but fox-like instead of feline. They were inhabitants of Blackmarsh.

The Bird People are mentioned in the book Father of the Niben. They were, as it is said, bird-like peoples who lived on the Imperial Isle. They are, like the Lilmothiit, extinct.

Dreughs were Daedra worshipping crab/octopus-like creatures from ancient Morrowind. They used to be intelligent but have since become monsters.

Why wouldn't Aldmeris exist?

"This sundering of purpose is the myth of the "destruction of Aldmeris." Outside of the Dawn, and even then only in the dreamtime of its landscape, there was never a terrestrial homeland of the Elves. "Old Ehlnofey" is a magical ideal of mixed memories of the Dawn."

-Nu-Mantia #5

'''Orsimer are the result of the forming of Malacath and the elves being cursed by Boethia, correct? So how could they have been at Tamriel before Topal the Pilot?'''
 * "As he and his men rested, there came a fearsome howl,
 * And hideous 'orcs streamed forth from the murky
 * Glen, cannibal teeth clotted with gore"

"Tradition has it that the orcs were not born until after the Aldmer had settled the mainland, that they sprung up as a distinct race following the famous battle between Trinimac and Boethia at the time of Resdayn. It is possible that the tradition is wrong. Perhaps the orcs were an aboriginal tribe predating the Aldmeri colonization."

-Father of the Niben

Who's Veloth?

The prophet who led the Chimer to present day Morrowind (followed Boethia)

Can you tell me more details about these empires?

Cyrod- Kingdom of the Ayleids which is in present day Cyrodiil, was destroyed in the early first era after the Alessian Slave Revolts

Direnni Hegemony- What is now High Rock, the Direnni Clan (leaders of the Hegemony) lived at Ur-Tower in Balfiera. The Hegemony was eventually overthrown by the growing Breton population (who were birthed through Direnni interbreeding) around 1E 500.

Resdayn- Portion of Morrowind which was ruled by the Chimer, Resdayn became Morrowind after the disapearance of the Dwemer, the apotheosis of the Tribunal, and the first eruption of Red Mountain. this all occured because of the war of the First Council.

Dwemereth- Portion of Morrowind owned by the Dwemer (mostly Vvardenfell). Dwemereth ended after the disapearance of the Dwemer.

Who are the Nedes?

Basically just the ancestors of the Imperials, most Bretons, and all other humans besides Nords, Redguards, and Akaviri Men. They were in Tamriel before the Atmorans.

Can you tell me more details on Bromjunaar?

It was the ancient seat of the Dragon Cult within Tamriel. Not very long after the Dragon War it was abandoned, and during the early First Era the great mage Shalidor built the Labyrinthian upon i's ruins. Now the name Labyrinthian has become synonymous with the area.

Who's Pelinal Whitestrake?'

Immortal warrior who is believed to be both a Shezarrine and Dragonborn. He was believed to roam Tamriel since the Merethic Era but his real mark in history was during the Early First Era where he led the armies of the Alessian Slave revolt against the Kingdom of Cyrod. He was also completely insane.

Some people believe him to be a robot... but I don't really think that is correct.

Can you tell me more details on the Camoran Dynasty?'

The Camoran Dynasty was the first Kingdom of the Bosmer, it was formed in Valenwood. Basically they split apart from the Kingdom of Alinor (Summerset Isle) and was one of the first milestone in the weaking of Elven dominance over Tamriel. The Dynasty's formation marks the beginning of the First Era.

A lot of what Dovah said seems to come from outgame sources, such as Michael Kirkbride

Not really, the only Kirkbride reference would be Aldmeris not existing.

I recomend reading the pages that Sky Above listed though you should also read the corresponding pages on the UESP.
