Maormer

The Maormer, also known as the Sea Elves or Snow Elves, are a race of elves native to the continent of Pyandonea, an island chain far to the west of Tamriel. They are a distinct people, often described as having pale skin, white or silver hair, and often unusual eye colors such as violet or red. Their appearance is adapted to their homeland, which is perpetually shrouded in mist and subject to extreme cold.

Maormer society is organized into kingdoms and is highly militaristic. They have a deep-seated hatred for the Altmer, or High Elves, of the Summerset Isles, and have engaged in numerous wars with them throughout history. This animosity is attributed to ancient betrayals and conflicts over the seas. They are skilled sailors and fishermen, and their ships are renowned for their speed and maneuverability.

Their magic often focuses on ice and water, and they are known to be able to summon mists and control the seas. Some Maormer are also said to be able to communicate with sea creatures. Unlike many other elven races, the Maormer do not seem to revere the Aedra or Daedra in the same manner, though they have their own unique spiritual beliefs and practices. Their history is largely defined by their ongoing conflict with the Altmer and their attempts to conquer or destabilize Tamrielic powers.
