Altmer- Meaning High Elf or Cultured Folk, which many other races on Tamriel translate as meaning "Snobbish". One of the many descendants of the Aldmer, or First Elves. Magically gifted, which leads many Altmer to believe that they are in fact better than any other race on Tamriel, other Mer included. Another factor of their superiority complex is their concentrated efforts to maintain a physical similarity to the Aldmer. Current Government- Third Aldmeri Dominion. Many in Skyrim connect the Altmer to the Thalmor, the ruling party/force of the Dominion. My Take- Their arrogance and Stride for the divinity their ancestors have will destroy Mundus itself.
