The Great War:
"The Thalmor ambassador upended the cart, spilling over a hundred heads on the floor: every blades agent in Summerset and Valenwood."
Thalmor controls the Dominion
let me clarify the meaning of what i've said above
Thalmor =/= Aldmeri Dominion
Thalmor is the child of Aldmeri Dominion, as in that they respresent the 3rd Aldmeri Dominion, just like what Ondolemar said , ask him now for gods sake....., if you still hestitate.
"The Thalmor ambassador upended the cart, spilling over a hundred heads on the floor: every blades agent in Summerset and Valenwood."
no offence but these phrase above is still too weak to uncover the fact that the Thalmor is the one behind the the 3rd Aldmeri Dominion, if you want to make me believe you, you'll need a more powerfull proof.
(By the way sorry guys if this is off topic, problably my fault. I don't realized that my oppinion of loving a Man more that loving a Mer, is turning out to be a faction debate already.....)

your the one that told me to read the great war and that it tells that the Dominion was the one that killed the blades and that the Thalmor are in your words "the children of the dominion", i just showed you proof it was the thalmor that killed the blades not the Dominion as a whole is all.....again read rising threat, it even states in there the Thalmor are the ones that created the Dominion, there was no Dominion until the Thalmor decreed there was after they formed an alliance w/ Valenwood
what i mean by 'Thalmor is the Child of the Dominion' is that they represent the Aldmeri Dominion, which i heard from that cocksucker Ondolemar.
And i admit that you're right about the origin of the 3rd Aldmeri Dominion, though
"On the 30th of Frostfall, 4E 171, the Aldmeri Dominion sent an ambassador to the Imperial City with a gift in a covered cart and an ultimatum for the new Emperor."
"Titus II knew that there would be no better time to negotiate peace, and late in 4E 175 the Empire and the Aldmeri Dominion signed the White-Gold Concordat, ending the Great War."
these words still proofs that AD is indeed greatly connected to the Thalmor and these two are not 'Completely Different'.
^ well yeah they represent the Dominion lol, they ARE the will and mind behind the Dominon at this point, the Khajit and Wood Elves dont seem to have a say like they did in the Old Dominion. The Dominion is just the kingdom and the Thalmor are its Nobility, its Kings and Queens to an extent
The Thalmor are the rulers of the AD and have been for quite some time, it's splitting hairs to view the two as distinct at this point.
Well, there are several catergories and specific talents in which each subspecies of Mer specialize in. If I may, I would like to go over each category, one by one, to help distinguish each subspecies of Mer in how they are talented in their own unique way, what that particular talent is, and an explanation as to why.
Before I begin, please understand that this is my own personal opinion, so don't take it too seriously. As a matter of fact, I fully encourage you to take it with a grain of salt. I only ask that you respect my opinion, and that you keep negative thoughts to yourself, just as I would in a reply to you or anyone else. In other words, treat others how you would want to be treated. Please be sensible and civil about your replies. With that all said and done, let's continue.
-Magical Potency-
This category clearly defines, above nearly all else, the Aldmer and Altmer. In modern society on Tamriel, the most talented Elven mages have usually been recognized as Altmer, reinforced by the fact that, in almost every game, they have been designed as the most talented starting mages, such as in Skyrim. However, the Dunmer do indeed deserve a very honourable mention, also being very talented mages in their own right, even for a race of Mer.
-Lifespan-
More often than not, when you hear of a Mer that has an unusually long lifespan, it tends to be a Dunmer. Thus, I feel as though they deserve this category. A long lifespan ensures that the Dunmer are full of wisdom, experience, and power that they have gathered over a potential millenium, if not more.
-Smithing-
If anyone, this talent is clearly defines the Orsimer. As such, their equipment is among the best on Nirn, typically surpassed only by Ebony, Daedric, and that which is made from the bones of Dov, all three of which can be quite difficult to come across.
-Technology-
This category, no doubt, must be given to the Dwemer for their advanced technology which has not been surpassed even thousands of years after their disappearance. Even the great and cultured High Elves of Summerset have yet to surpass them, which says a lot about the Dwemer. Shockingly, their contraptions continue to function even today, without the Dwemer's maintaining of their facilities.
-Culture-
Amazingly enough, I'm going to have to give this feat a three-way tie to the Altmer, Snow Elves, and Alyeids, for all three subspecies of Mer are more often than not, defined by their advanced culture, which was well ahead of their time, and surpassed practically every other group during the peak of their power.
-Independence-
If there is any group of Mer which is defined as being so fiercly independent and capable of surviving on their own, without any sort of assitance, it's the Dunmer. Even in the harsh and unforgiving ash wastes of Morrowind, which could arguably rival the harshness of Hammerfell's deserts, the Dunmer have continued to survive, and sometimes even thrive, for thousands of years.
-Intelligence-
While a difficult one to judge, I'm ultimately giving this one to the Dwemer and Alyeids respectively for their ingenuitey and inventions which, even today, have not been replicated. As I've already explained the Dwemer, the Alyeids are known for their ingenuitey in magical energy, starlight, and enchantments. Magical stones and wells, which they created, continue to function today, and have always served as an incredibely valuable tool for any mage who has access to them.
-Warriors-
Quite simply, the Orsimer, among any race on Nirn, completely dominate the realm of the Warrior, being rivalled only by the Redguards, and a few select and talented Nords. In particular, the Orsimer are most talented in the use of Heavy Armor and heavy weaponry, such as their famous warhammers, which could possibly crush and bend even the strongest Nordic Steel made from the Skyforge.
-Archery-
If anyone, this clearly deserved to be a title worthy of recognition by the Bosmer, who are, quite arguably, the single most talented arches on Nirn from birth to death. Some have even gone so far as to claim that it was the Bosmer who invented the Bow and Arrow, though I find this highly unlikely. Instead, it's plausible that they instead perfected its design and use, but I cannot say for sure, and I believe that's a discussion for a completely different thread.
-Agility-
Once again, the Bosmer completely dominate this category because of their slender frames and reflexes. While nearly all Mer are fairly agile due to their slender frames, the Bosmer are in a completely separate league. Even for the Elves, the Bosmer are considered slim and agile, which can even rival that of the Khajiit, a title that says quite alot about their skill as natural hunters. As the Bosmer are considered such excellent hunters and scouts, it's also plausible to assume that their eyesight, hearing, and overall senses and perception are incredibely keen and precise, even for the Elves. What the Bosmer may lack in magical potency as opposed to their cousins, they fully make up for it with their own unique talents.
-Conclusion-
In general, each subspecies of Mer have their own unique strengths, weaknesses, differences, and otherwise special traits which help them stand out amongst their brethren. Regardless, it's always a good choice to have a Mer at your side in combat, for they will prove incredibely valuable in ensuring your survival and success on Tamriel, and it can be quite a dangerous world to travel in without a friend at your side. After all, two is better than one.
The Altmer are the most civilized and strong. Read the lore!
Maybe. But I'd have to choose Maormer. We know a lot less about them and their culture, religion, and society than we do about every other Elven race. Nobody has even stepped onto their homeland, either. You can't say that about many other types of Elves.
I love altmer and wood elves... Oh btw quick fact khajit are a mixed breed of ancient Aldmer. Confusing but watch Fudgemuppet about it ill leave a link https://thexvid.com/video/wetaDQsKSGU/skyrim-how-every-race-was-created-elder-scrolls-lore.html Theres it. Anyways wood elves scavenging amongst there fresh kill eating or making use of any wasted materials charging into battle with bone armor and a bow. While Altmer very civilized dont stare dont put your elbows on the dinner table, use your cloth. Charging into battle with a conjured sword and a lighting spell like a Sith Lord
Dunmer. Forever. No contest.
ALMSIVI, Ash landers, Red Mountain, Nerevar, Ordinators, Morag Tong, etc.
