Popular Usage & Unique Game Play
Bosmer are often played as Stealth/Warrior-esque types, choosing Light armor and favoring the Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild quest lines due to their innate skills and abilities. They pose a considerable threat to anyone who challenges them while they wield a bow, as it is constantly mentioned that Bosmer are the best archers in Tamriel.

History
The Altmer and Bosmer people make up the core of the newly-formed Aldmeri Dominion, and its Thalmor forces. The Dominion very nearly destroyed the Empire, if not for the Battle of Red Circle-which forced the Elven Armies to withdraw from Cyrodiil and Hammerfell.
