So I'm pretty new to these forums and TES lore as well. I was reading a timeline and it says that the old Elhnofey went to Aldmeris,Yakuda,Akavir,Atmora, and some stayed in Tamriel. Doesn't this mean that ALL races are descendants of the Elhnofey and not just the High Elves? Thanks guys/ladies

Yes all races are the descendants of the Elhnofey but Aldmeris never existed. It's the time before creation, all races were born on Tamriel and then later left or stayed.

Whaa? I was researching the Elhnofey for a while and never heard of this. Can you please elaborate if you don't mind?

I'm guessing you're reading the Pocket guides to the Empire? My recommendation is don't, the Imperial Geographical Society is propaganda.

If you choose to accept what devs and previous devs claim then we have MK's IRC Q&A

Aldmeris is the memory of before, before Lorkhan's big trick, before the creation of Mundus when there were no boundaries.

The concept of Aldmeris becomes alot easier to grasp when you realize that living in the Dragon Break-like Dawn Era is basically like living in a Dream. When the Dawn Era ends (and you wake up) your memory of that dream becomes jumbled and most of it is forgotten. Aldmeris is the jumbled Elven memory of the once unified Dawn Era-Tamriel.

yes all race's descend from them, Except the Hist they are left over from the previous kappa. Alduwin must have gotten full

edit-I spell Alduin like a Anglo-Saxon lol no old Norse for me
