The Altmer, or High elves, are one of the three races representing the Aldmeri Dominion. Their homeland is the Summerset Isles.
Altmer are probably the tallest among other races. They have prominently pointed ears like other elves and almond-shaped eyes. They are smaller built than humans and do not have a very strong body. So melee combat is not for them. Their physical disadvantages are compensated by intelligence and magical abilities. Altmer are known for their outstanding magical skills. They are probably the best mages in Tamriel.
The Elder Scrolls: Online is an upcoming epic MMO from ZeniMax Online Studios, which will be the first Elder Scrolls game to allow players to explore the series' universe with others. Like previous Elder Scrolls games, The Elder Scrolls: Online will be set on the world of Nirn. Unlike previous games, it will feature online, mulitplayer action.
During the Second Era, about 1000 years before the events in Skyrim, Tamriel descended into a four-way war. In an attempt to conquer the continent, the Imperials -- natives to the province of Cyrodiil -- made a deal with the Daedric prince Molag Bal. At the beginning of the game, players will join one of three factions that not only oppose the Imperials and Molag Bal's undead army, but will also battle one another for the imperial throne. Three different alliances. Three different philosophies. Three different ways to approach the game. Which will you choose?
