This came to me today and could not remember it coming up in the game anywhere, so does anyone have an answer?
I mean the Orcs are technically elves but they don't seem to mix well with the other Mer.
You know I actually think they might respect them in some ways. They tried to keep the Chimer from leaving and stayed true to Trinimac even after his corruption. They were faithful to the Altmer way of life right up until the end.
Hell I'd go so far as to say that if they could get the orcs on their side they would. When it comes down to it they are still Mer and they need the foot soldiers. I could even see them trying to turn Malacath back to what he was before if such a thing is even possible.
If they wanted the Orcs to join them they might give them some land in Valenwood and they would definitely require them to worship Trinimac again, but I could see it happening.
