I am a novice in TES lore, so I made this thread for loremasters to post everything they know about extinct/ancient races such as the Dwemer, Chimer, Snow Elves/Falmer and Aylieds. Class is in session, and I am your student.

You seem to forget that even when they were Chimer there were other races of elves like the Dwemer.Â
It's the Dunmer before they were cursed essentially, it's what they once were.
Quote: Why would they be called original, or pure ones if there was no dark elves, there would be no reason to call them that, it is like calling humans would turn into aliens so people today would be called pure ones, even tho nobody knew anyhing would happen. Basically I'm asking what they were called before the curse.
According to the book The Changed Ones, said name refers to the cultural changes of the race after embracing the Three Good Daedra and departing from the Summerset Isles, as opposed to the physical transformation caused by Azura.
I think I'l just call them snow elves, but thanks anyways... btw, the deep elves are dwemer, right?

People say the chimer were all changed but I was under the impression that they still exist on Cathnoquey.Â
Large numbers of the races in Black Marsh (except the argonians) were killed by the Knahaten Flu, and the Kothringi and Lilmothiit were wiped out.
Wow this has been going on for a while now hasn't it... Well I'll just give it a proper end then
Vivec is a half Chimer, not 2 Chimer - Therefor the Chimer are extinct until he (if he's alive) finds a way to regain is pure Chimeri blood and pass it on to descendants.
Now here's the deal; The Nedic is a group for general cultures and tribes of men that inhabited Tamriel (Probably descendants of Renegade Ehnlofey). So modern Bretons are men who EVOLVED from generations of interbreeding of Nedes and sometimes elves (most likely Aldmer or Ayleid), while modern Imperials are descendants of Nibenese Nedes and the early Nords.
Early Nords? Yes, well... Atmora is a continent, so those hailing from Atmora are??? Atmorans.
If you have both parents from Europe but you were born in America, you may have European heritage, but you are American. Same goes for Red Guards, who came from Yokuda as they were, no curse, no interbreeding (heavily). My point is:
Aldmer of Aldmeris, Yokudans of Yokuda and Atmorans of Atmora aren't extinct if High Elves, Red Guards and Nords are not.
PS: Old Falmer can be considered extinct like Chimer, having the same name of a race doesn't make it the same.
@AlmightyMehrune There is also a possible branch of the main questline in TES3 that allows you to kill Vivec, due to the lack of invincible quest-related npcs. So, like which side won Skyrim's civil war, the fate of Vivec is really up to player preference.
Hold on fellas... We didn't even talk about the Akavariens their enslaved human race,or the other three races they are at a constant war with(basically khajetes monkey people and snow demons). My question is if it's true some of their continents khajites turned into dragons does that make them a different species altogether? Also aren't the dragon priests still technically alive therefor the ancient humans never really died out? Sorry for bad spelling (I'm new to the lore too)
