Homebrew Breton Species Details

Manmeri

In the northwestern corner of Tamriel known as High Rock, ancient elves once intermingled with humans and gave rise to the Breton race. Over the centuries, this new race came to rule over High Rock in place of the elves who had been their lords. The Bretons only bear traces of their elven ancestry, but it grants them an affinity for magic beyond that of the other human races.
The Bretons are proud and fractitious, and High Rock is almost always broken into many competing feudal kingdoms. Powerful nobles negotiate complex politics while those beneath them aspire to become knights or learn the arcane arts. These nobles rule over commoners who often work the land or become shrewd merchants.
The other elven and human races have been known to deride the Bretons as 'mongrels' and call them Manmeri due to their mixed ancestry. But Bretons are much more than the sum of their parts. Their culture does contain influences from their elven and human ancestors, but once long ago the Bretons developed their own druid culture and wielded powerful nature magic.
