"Yes, because the elves are always right..."
Yes, elves are ALWAYS right, at least the old ones. They are the first people of Nirn, Humans did not even exist in the mythic age. I don't know how Argonians came to be but the Kha'jiit (Hope I spelled that right) were created by Azura and Orc is an kind of elf.
Well that sounds... awfully cliche.
And actually, humans and elves started at the same time, as the same thing. Then that whole debacle with Shor and Alduin split the peoples of the world in half between those who sided with Alduin and became the Aldmer and those who sided with Shor, becoming Atmorans. while the Hist laughed at the foolish warmbloods killing eachother over something
that had already, irreversibly been done.
