Snow Elves
Also known as the Falmer, an ancient and forgotten race of mer. Hail from the province that is now Skyrim, an ancestral homeland they were forced out of, brought to the edge of extinction by the coming of the Nords. Much of their race were brought low, forced into hiding with the Dwemer, who betrayed their kind and twisted them into the monsters that still plague the dark caves and underground halls of Dwarven Ruins. A precious few escaped this fate though and live on, the last of their kind left uncorrupted.
