The Imperial racials aren't out of line with any other race... as a matter of fact, so far, all data says they're inferior to other races for everything except possibly tanking, in which they come in maybe 2nd, maybe 3rd.

I'd say the Imperial racials are fine, if a bit too "tank specific". The mount is not from being an Imperial, but from getting the Imperial addition. Non-imperial characters will have it.

Personally i feel that Imperial racials conflicts with lore. Imperials are not supposed to be physically strong, yet they get highest hp of all races and their stamina on par with Redguards.

Medium armor racial would make more sense.

Peen-- ?

i think i read somewhere that the race is decided by the mother's race? or was that from something entirely different and not tes at all

they actually had a bonus to light armor in morrowind

Ayleid move from their 2nd home (They are Altmer 1st, but left Summer Isle) to where some humans (Nords?) lived slightly outside of Skyrim and interbreed -- that where their Elf Blood came from and became the Bertons.

Humans think that the Gods created them. Elves (Altmer) think that are from Gods who created Nirn -- They gave up so much of their selves to created the world, they had to breed. Their "children" are the Ehinofey and set of them became the Altmer.

Khajiit can be from a different set of Ehinofey -- they are not related to Elves per say, Azura or some other Gods created them going by their creation myth.

Argonians are the "Childern" of the Hist trees. I wonder if some of the Ehinofey (Different set then the Elf and Khajiit ones) became the Hist trees. Also, Hist seems to know a lot about Sithis as well, more then any other race.

I only see 6 "1st born" races

Elves (They left Summerset Isle and became the different Elf races because of the land that they live on)

Khajiit (They could be Elves, but not the same blood line as the Altmer Elves)

Hist => Argonians

2 different set of humans (Nord and Red Graud)

Dragons (Their "father" is the God of time)

Just the Elves, the land could have changed the human race and make a sub-race of them. Nords who were living in Cyrodiil were changed into two different Sub-groups and after the slave up rising and kicked out the Ayleids, those two sub-groups of humans who became the Imperials. Thus, Imperials are not really Nords, but they are related to them.

Just like one can not really say that a Altmer is a Falmer or a Dunmer -- the land changed them, they are related, but not the same race.

Well that was when light armor=leather/glass/chitin/other light armor materials. while in eso, light armor is mainly robes/cloth, and medium armor is what we know and love as light armor.

Im pretty sure that the Dirreni High Elves and humans made bretons, as Dirreni came to high rock first while later after the Allesian slave rebellion some intermingled with the Dirreni.

Wild High Elves are the Ayleid

In high rock humans were the Nords

Ayleid + High Rock Nords = (childern) are the Breton race

I do not know the word of "Dirreni" have to read up on that "race"

Dirreni is just a family name, not a race. I still think the race are the Nords and that is just a family with in that race.

I am well aware, Which Is why I say that they were the elves that "created" the bretons, not the Aylieds(as we know the dirreni are Altmer)

Or, for those Byzantophiles out there, go with a Greek name by adding an "os" after the name

I think you are missing a few steps there, on the right path, but missing some details

The Altmer who lived in Cyrodiil became the Ayleid, after the slaves kicked them out, they moved to High Rock area.

The Altmer race =/= Ayleid race. They are related, yes, but no the same.

Dirreni is a family of Altmer however.

EDIT- Source http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Direnni

I would not say that Direnni were the ones that bred the bretons, the Bretons surely existed when the Direnni clan were there.

Aldmer+Nedic=breton(almost the same though)

you think Aldmer were there first? I thought they were only on Aldmeris and then when they came to Tamriel they became Altmer and then the other racial splits happened?
