hi guys

Whilst i was raiding through one of the Dwemer ruins in Skyrim and seeing the large amount of Falmor occupation in them it got me thinking of Falmer ruins
now i'm not really up on my Falmer lore (if thier is any) but if they where the native mer to skyrim surely their would be some sort of remnents of thier past selves either a ruined city, fort etc.
i know they have now succumbed to thier savage side but they never used to be like that.

so i was just wodnering what you guys thought on the topic?

The Dwemer took the Falmer in after the aftermath of the Snowprince. After that, the Dwemer made the Falmer blind in a attempt to make them their slaves. Any Falmer that remained on the surface was more than likely killed off by the Nords. As for arcitecture, not a clue what it would be, but I'd imagine if there was any, its been dismantled and reused by the Nords by now.

its quite sad to think of how the falmer used to be and how they've fallen from grace so much. would be cool to see some sort of Falmer arcitecture high up in the snowy mountains or something. even a book would suffice. so far it just seems like the Falmer in skyrim are a replacement for the goblins from oblivion when they are so much more than that.

Dargor, is there an in-game source somewhere with that information? I was dying to know about the Falmer as well, especially considering what we read about them in Bloodmoon, I was shocked to find out that they were disgusting inbred cannibals dwelling in the depths of the earth....

I was thinking the exact same thing. In their current state, they're the equivalent of goblins - little more than beasts, and they shouldn't even come close to being called Falmer. It's in the very name - they were mer, just like half of civilised Tamriel, and those creatures hiding in caves and Dwemer ruins are most certainly not mer.

Such a shame; a missed opporunity in my opinion to add a niche, secluded 3rd party (similiar to the Thalmor).

How far are you into the game, people-who-call-falmer-goblin-like? Because, well, they're more civilized than they first appear.

Assuming my link works there it is at the top.

Ohhhh intresting - do you have a name for this ruin?


Sweet - I have been combing the game for Falmer stuff and well..... temption has brought me to UESP and the forums - I am a big falmer Nerd and the possiblitly of them being in skyrim made me happy indeed. I havnt put the game down since its release! I am typing this while at work - work and sleep being the two times in the day I am not playing skyrim lol


do we have any more new falmer lore added by Skyrim?
