They would've basically looked like Altmer. Work from that.

Ok, thanks, but umaril is wearing armor? or not, that would help, but thanks, now i know that they are about the size of altmer, maybe bigger.

There is a http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Ayleid_Guardian in the Hall of Epochs, though I'm not sure how much that would help you.

Do you have an image? I didn't make it that far in Oblivion.

I believe there's a story, which gave a description of what they currently look like. If I remember, they look like altmer, but with tanner skin.

It's in 2920. Problem is that 2920 takes place quite a while after the fall of Ayleid civilization, and while the 'Ayleid' encountered is a descendant of the Ayleids, he may not be representative of what they looked like in their heyday.

well when ayleid became ayleid not altmer. they donned their tan skin. if i was to say judging from the descriptions in 2920 and other references. imagine a cross between a chimer and bosmer. if you dont know what a chimer looks like imagine an altmer. a bit shorter,stockier, a bit more athletic like. basically imagine a dunmer just with golden skin and golden eyes

Best we got, however.

Is there an order of divergent sub-races to emerge from the Aldmer? In short, did the Ayleids or Bosmer develop first?

» Tue May 08, 2012 2:58 am

I thought Mankar actually was part Ayleid. We know not all the Ayleids died.

» Tue May 08, 2012 2:05 am

Go look at an Altmer...

There you go. There is your Aylied. Aylied wasn't a race, it was just a group of Altmer.

Why are they called wild elves when they actually had a large empire and were quite civilized?

» Tue May 08, 2012 7:34 am

Because after Alessia and Pelinal usurped White-Gold from them, they fled to the wilderness of Cyrodiil and formed a tribal society based on hunter-gatherer bands.

Ayleidoon Cyrodiil was a collection of sovereign city-states ostensibly owing fealty to the King of White-Gold Tower.

Also, wild parties I guess.

Thought Ayleid meant "Heartland High Elves" and only become "Wild Elves" after the Alessian Order carried out purges.

More like, Wild Elves only became Heartland High Elves after Oblivion. But yeah; White-Gold is conquered, Ayleid nobles remain extant, then the Alessians coup, make Ayleids illegal; they leave for Valenwood and High rock save for a small number who remain to fight in the Battle of Glenumbria Moors and apparently retreat to a tribal culture in the wilds afterward. If you believe Kier-Jo Chorvak, that is, which I'm not sure I do. Could be mild propaganda; it was only early Second Era.
