Homebrew Falmer Species Details

Snow Elves are a proud race of Elves that resemble pale and white-haired Altmer. Snow Elves prefer a colder climate and therefore used to live in Skyrim and on the island of Solstheim. Along with a strong magical aptitude, the Snow elves have developed a special fighting style using bows and long-shafted piercing weapons. The central deity of the Snow Elves’ pantheon is Auri-El, their god-ancestor. When humans first came to Tamriel, they encountered the Snow Elves and established peaceful relations. However, this was not to last, and the Snow Elves attacked and destroyed the human settlement of Saarthral. A bitter war ensued, and the Snow Elves were defeated. The survivors sought shelter with the Dwemer, who granted the Snow Elves sanctuary but also started poisoning them and turning them into their slaves. The degenerated descendants of these Snow Elves are called Falmer: pale shadows of their ancestors. The Falmer are hairless, eyeless, and completely savage denizens of caves and abandoned cities of their former captors. This racial profile was made for the still-civilized Snow Elves.
