The Maormer, Orsimer, and The Left-Handed Elves

Post » Mon Oct 29, 2012 7:49 am

The mysterious Left-Handed Elves of Yokuda, builders of Orichalc tower and said to have built an empire four times the size of Tiber Septim's Tamrielic empire. Who were these mysterious mer?

Some say they were just another sect of Aldmer who settled on Yokuda long ago, but others think they wore faces familiar to Tamriel.

Some have suggested their "left-handedness" and connections to Orichalcum show a connection to the Orsimer, others suggest that references to King Orgnum of Pyandonea as the Serpent God of Satakal from Yokudan religion shows a very clear tie between the Left-Handers and the Maormeri.

What do you think, Lore-Khans?

I've always thought of the "Left-handed Elves" as another Aldmer offspring from Aldmeris, not the now known Altmer, or Maormer.
I would almost dare to say that they've more in common to the feared Snow Elves, then the Maormer, and their immortal king.

But about King Orgnum being the Serpent God, that is something I've always fancied as true.

As you probably now, I think the Maormer and the Left-Handed Elves are the same for the reasons I gave you in another thread.

Perhaps their left-handedness was a reference to their chemical chirality. :banana: :banana: :banana:

But that's boring, and therefore wrong. :biggrin:

I'm curious, just how exactly could Orgnum be an avatar of the Yokudan god of everything? Aside from his immortality, what evidence is there to suggest these rumors are true?
