Hey, they're snow elves not ice elves

Read it again. Oh...

I get it. Just stop. Stop it.

What I am trying to say is they became icecubes, not died of hypothermia

Hey, when i read Relic's post it seemed more like he was suggesting that a large portion of the Dunmer gene pool was infiltrated by Falmer traits such as bluer skin opposed to the classic ashy gray and greener tint that most dunmer had. If he had been saying that all dunmer were the colour they are because of Falmer genetics, he wouldn't have said "sometimes blue", he would have just said "blue"

troothfuly, I do not not think that snow elves mixed in with other elves. I think that after that battle the ones who ran away started a secluded sociaty and have been hiding in the most unreachable areas of Skyrim.

p.s. I am using dialup and have no means of spell check. I am sorry.

stop worrying about your spelling, it is better than mine use to be (i use spellcheck) we can understand you just fine.

I always though Rieklings were goblinoids.

They did. The editor of the UESP article forgot the little notes in the PGE reading the following: "Uncle, I saw signs that might be Falmer boundary-runes, but nothing sure. If any survive, they are wary and withdrawn." This confirms that the Falmer once existed as YR, an Altmer, knew about them

But lets hope that TESV: Skyrim isn't equally littered with abandoned Falmer ruins with the only surviving Falmer either completely invisible or hell bend on conquering Tamriel. More hints and history would certainly be appreciated though.



Seems to me those blue Dunmer should be blamed the complexion slider of Oblivions facegen and nothing else really.



Nah. When you have people who once believed that they approximate the gods in their appearance, being burned is a pretty good curse. Especially in the eyes of the Daedra of vanity.

If you want you can compare it to being turned into a black man in America around the start of the nineteenth century. It's not merely a change of skin but a demotion in social status, it is becoming something that you once would have considered an inferior life form.

Seems Aldmer became Altmer, Chimer, Bosmer and Orsimer. Then Chimer became Dunmer.

[Please note that Dun and blue are totally different colours ... apparently either a graphic artist was colour blind or some dev did not actually do his/her homework before the game went to 'press' - these things happen - so I suggest you ignore the pretty blue colouring.] Mind you, like it or hate it, it made dam sure that none of th eDunmer totally forgot about Red Mountain and Azura's curse - which was precisely what she intended to achieve.

Admittedly Reiklings are a lot smaller than Bosmer males ... but as a whole the above indicates a certain 'plasticity' in mer genes.

Not sure about the date of the Snow Prince book, but the Nords arrived in Skyrim a long time ago.

Lore-wise there could still be snow elves as a significant distinct race but this has yet to be either ruled out or established in-game. If you really want snow elves then mod them!

In a future release? If they went underground (3 dimensional habitation can provide enormous 2D living area) or moved to another Plane then they could make for a big surprise. Consider the Giant Goblins that arrived in Hammerfell from another Plane / Dimension / wherever and you have a precedent - especially given that those goblins were not known for either being smart or magically gifted ... food for thought. Who knows?

If you were entering into a writing competition then spelling should matter - but in TES writing competitions that does not seem to matter. What is really important is what people feel about what you have to say.

So you are neither wrong nor right on all counts.

Ofc - if you set up a forum and a Dev starts openly posting there and you put in a lot of hard work making it useful to people generally then you may find yourself in a position to create some Lore of your own and have it generally accepted. Until that time you're likely to find that any openly 'speculative Lore' you offer here may be given a rough ride - even if people like you.

all the best,

wow, this thread back from the dead? In any case, there should be no problem on the snow elf ruin aspect that someone stated because none have been discovered, so skyrim will not be littered with those. Secondly I would like, if TES V is indeed in skyrim, a lot of lore on Snow Elves. I want some kind of tell tail book left behind by the little buggers that says where exactly they went and were they are know, if they are alive. This book should be pretty hard to obtain, though.

and ruin the mystery?

thats what we have dwemers for. The dwemers are the race thats mystirius and alian. Having multiple mysterius races that I'll never have a chance to see will piss me off to high hell. I want to see a snow elf, If they are still around, or at least know what happened tot them.

So what is the point of ever trying to understand mystery if it can never be unraveled or understood?

exactly, I also think that dwemer mystery should be unraveled by TES VII. Dwemers piss me off. Stupid [censored] that whent and got themselves dissaperated so I could never see one or play as one. At least the Ayliad mystery is close to being solved becasue I think they are going to try and conquer Tamriel in TES V or VI.

We already know what happened to the Dwemer...
At least if them becoming the golden skin of Numidium was what truly happened.

but its not proven and what if they realy didn't all die, but this is going off topic.

its proven in that the devs are all like "yea, that happened" and then people are all like "nuh its not in the games lolz" and the devs are like "it has nothing to do with what were making the games about so were not going to put it in the games."

also, how would a race on the brink of extinction conquer a continent?

anyhow, falmer, yes. i'd like to see more about them in TESV[:Skyrim], as long as they arent a dungeon space filler like the Ayleids.

they won't be, I can promise you, because even my limmeted mind of lore know that no falmer ruins have been found.

coming back off topic, ok now my dwemer void in the back of my mind is filled, but isn't there some sort of prophisy that ayliads will rise to rule cyrodil again one day?

I HATE MYSTIRUS RACES SOOOO MUCH! BLAH! WHY CAN'T I KNOW WHERE THE AYLIADS ARE RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! RHJTEOI;SGHFDISAJNFLKJSDKLFAJLN!

ok, now that I got that out my systm, continue

there are several mentions of the Ayleids coming back from obscurity and playing with their tower, yea, but none of them say that they will rule the world. unless i am missing something, im not too knowleged on this topic :shrug:. as for promising anything, i wouldn't do that if i were you. if cyrodiil could loose its jungle Skyrim could surely gain some ruins.

btw, they are right there in the forests of Cyrodiil. I saw some on my last play, or rather almost saw, the bugger ran away so fast that i was only able to see his golden physique and the shimmer of his feathered cloak. just north of Sard it was i think, right by the ruins of that one old cyrod city with the giant overgrown statues of Pelinal and Alessia

I am extremly gulable, please tell me right now if your lying before I go on an expedision with me, Shadowfax, and the Adoring Fan for this Ayliad.

not so much lying as pretending. there are mothpriests surrounded by moths and talking topiaries in my game too.

btw, what does your avatar say? i cant make out the first word.

SURRENDER YOUR MILK BOTTLES! and it is a picture of Ganandorf from TLOZ. I've been trying to upload my eddited one where the green and red lettering switch so its easier to read, but it won't upload

any ways, we have gone compleetly off topic.

Well I dont know which Rieklings are more like but I can say that I would love to see Falmer brought into TES V. Considering the speculation I've heard saying that it takes place in Skyrim, Falmer could be a possibility. Even if they aren't going to be featured in a game, they still sound sweet. I loved Fall of the Snow Prince!

To look at Reiklings are unique so far. I've not seen anything like them in-game anywhere.

just to tell you dude, your pm inbox is full, I've tryed pming you twice and it wont let me
