Supposedly Elvish spirits. I liked what Hevnoraak said though, they could be female Falmer.

Hmmm, what would an elvish spirt being doing in an underground mist-filled forest, influencing peoples dream and making them go nuts, and guarding an ancient blade?

Who knows. Weren't the Snow Elves in Skyrim present before the Nords? It's possible the Word Wall was built when the Nords came.

It's way of getting vengeance on the Nords?

Btw Is it just me or does the eagle motif on the Ancient Falmer armour have fangs?

Don't feel like necroing the Were Falmer Vampires thread If I'm just imagining things.

Because the regular Elven armour certainly does not have those fang like protrusions on it's upper beak. The Falmer one is also more rounded like a snake or dragons head than a birds.

"Lost Legends" has a paragraph about the Pale Lady.

So the Spirit of the Pale lady from Oblivion? She was an Elf.. I think...

I like the theory that they are the angry spirits of female Falmer - who suffered greatly at the hands of the Nords during their genocide - haunting their home that is Skyrim.

Wispmothers and Falmer are allied with each other. This can easily be witnessed in Blackreach where you can very well encounter both at once.

I also added myself to the Falmer faction and... http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/578991472819377174/D9FA1E75BBE25E5539B3053CBFB9B546C3FDC264/

Hevnoraak, you take some of the most beautiful screenshots

Thanks, I'm glad you like them. I always try to capture that epic moment at the right angle.

The Snow Prince assured the Pale Lady our ancestors will be avenged... soon.

The Ancient Falmer armor doesn't have a bird, it has a http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Vale_Sabre_Cat#Vale_Sabre_Cat.

I thought the motive of the ancient falmer armor represented some sort of bat myself, I do not know why though.

I got to remember myself to make a falmer aswell when I get the pc version. It seems like an amazing playthrough.

A female one probably, like an arcane archer with frost magic and frozen arrows.

Gonna stay out of the civil war though. Anyway, that picture looks really beautiful. :smile:

I like the idea that they're Falmer, but I don't know if it rings true. I mean, wisps were in Cyrodiil, too.
