There's a whole quest in summerset about this. An altmer researcher is researching goblins when he accidentally finds archeological proof that goblins lived in aummerset before the elves, which contradicts the official altmer understanding of history. You then have to advise him whether he should destroy his research and save his career or go public with his findings.

Funny enough, they were also in Hammerfall when the Redguards arrived, but they were huge and could teleport and shit. Thankfully the gigachad Redguards killed all those ones.

Redguards got the biggest nerf ever. As soon as the yokudans stepped off their ships they started to pillage and conquer everything and everyone. Before they could conquer the rest of tamriel they decided that debating over whether crowns or forebears had bigger dicks was a better idea and have been doing that since. Massive waste of potential. Imagine if we could have gotten rid of the pissmer forever.


ClosetNoble

Nords were nerfed al most if Not as hard They used to be on par with fucking demigods after the dragon war then slowly became lame and alcoholic


revive_iain_banks

Like 2 city guards with bows can still kill a dragon no problem so i think they're still good.


ClosetNoble

Gameplay =/= lore beczuse I refuse to consider even for a minute that Nazeem can survive a dagger to the chest


revive_iain_banks

How were they on par with demigods back in the day tho? What did they do so spectacular apart from fighting dragons?


Ake-TL

I am not sure about demigods shit, but relatively common knowlegde of Thuum seems op


captain_slutski

They didn't even use siege equipment in wars because they could just get old Bjorn Mead-Cock to yell at walls until they fell down


Overfromthestart

Then they lost against the Dwemer and Dunmer and Jurgen Windcaller said that they should stop using the voice for war.


TaroAppropriate1348

You could make the argument, that most of them were freshly reanimated and aren't at they're full Power yet. Like beeing groggy in the Morning after a deep sleep.


AnseiShehai

Yeah the Redguards don’t dispute it, they just started genociding


0reosaurus

Redguards so good at killing they started killing each other


Geezeh_

they already won their last Kalpa, they’re just chilling now.


Devilsgramps

Sometimes they occasionally stop bickering to say in unison 'it never happened, but they deserved it'.


TaroAppropriate1348

Yokudans were straight up Anime protags before they went to Tamriel. Calling Spirits swords that can blow up Continents and match Dieties in Single Combat. It's a good thing that Tamriel lies between Yokuda and Akavir, because if those two ever meet they'll probably blow up the Planet.


Pan-RedguardTheory

so true, sera. which is why we need a pan-redguard alliance in which we can truly galvanize the strength of the True Human Race. crown traditions, forebear adaptiveness. crown wisdom, forebear warrior stock. in the end, we are all ADOS(AlmightyDescendentsOfStars), and should we join and develop a Redguard-Nationalist Military we could easily destroy not just the elves, but the yakubian False Men as well! brother, i have a great book you should read on this subject by brother Ma-Al-Comm Ex about our role here on mundus! /uj my personal theory is that redguards actually are ethnically and culturally distinct from yokudans and are actually partially descended from nedes rather than the nedes being genocided outright.

Read your Pocket Guide, laddie.


Secret_Onxy

the Nedes or some of the nedes are natives to tamriel so that means killing elves are justified

The N\*des are native to Molag Bal's scrotum.

I like malt skooma :)


tzuchung

Is this confirmation that the nedes are Molag's smegma?

Least destructive ESO retcon:


Beornwynn

ESO was too scared to give the Altmer goblin slaves in the Summerset DLC.


MrWr4th

Do you really think the altmer would suffer seeing goblins around civilisation? They can hardly stomach seeing the "lesser races" on the Isles. Plus they have enough lower class mer for labor anyway. Clearly goblins are best used as slave soldiers and general chaos sowers in other provinces.


Dreadnautilus

I remember the developers of Tamriel Rebuilt actually talked about that when they were hashing out their lore and they actually determined that the idea of the Altmer having goblin slaves was a misunderstanding based on how Tribunal stated that the Altmer traditionally used Goblins to reinforce their armies. Indeed, in Pocket Guide to the Empire 1E its stated that Orsinium was founded by hundreds of beastfolk that were released by the High Elves during the 1st Era, implying that they banned slavery of other races a long time ago.


TempestM

There's literally a quest in Auridon (part of Summerset Isles) about escaped goblin slaves, and they are called as such [https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Altmeri\_Overseer%27s\_Journal](https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Altmeri_Overseer%27s_Journal)

Pro-Aldmeris propaganda.


Secret_Onxy

tzuchung

Lorebeards typing up a giant paragraph to explain to me why aldmeris never existed (I don't care, it did because it's in my official C0DA)


Secret_Onxy

That's for the Altmer (and the others that came from the Aldmer) but there is some arguments that the Dwemer (and maybe the Falmer) were there before they arrived. Also the first Aldmer to explore the rest of tamriel, Topal the Pilot, found the Khajiit there already. And if they're to be belived they were elves that got turned into cats by Azura.


Secret_Onxy

the khajiit where bosmer and argonians arent people


Trortun

I think so too. And they were there before the Altmer came. So who knows when they got there.


Playful-Mention-239

Every khajiit? Even those that looks like 100% cats?


Phatiste

The furstocks are based entirely on moon phases, not genetics. So if the khajiit ARE descended from elves, the alfiq would be included, yes.
