There aren't many of us here in Balmora. Just me, Estirdalin, Imare, Nalcarya the Alchemist, Hecerinde, and Culumaire. Why do you ask?

I am one of the few here in Balmora. What can I do for you?

There are but a few of the High Elves in Balmora. Ask around if you need to find one.

The only Altmer here in Balmora are Culumaire at the Lucky Lockup, Estirdalin at the Guild of Mages, Imare at the Hlaalu Council Manor, Nalcarya the Alchemist, and Hecerinde and Tyermaillin who both have residences here.

Altmer are the tall, light-skinned Elves of the West. They were once like us, but they became soft and foolish. They abandoned their ancestors and put their faith in big buildings and sorcery. The greatfathers of our greatfathers were kin of the Altmer, but the Prophet Veloth led us out of the West and brought us here so our rites and customs could remain pure.

We Altmer are proud, wise, and beautiful. The Empire is built on the arts, crafts, and sciences of the High Elves. Our pure blood protects us from disease, and makes us superior spellcrafters.

Altmer are the light-skinned, tall Elven peoples of the Summerset Isles. 'High' is taken to mean variously 'tall,' 'proud,' and 'culturally snobbish.' In the Empire, 'High Elves' is the common usage. They consider themselves the most civilized culture of Tamriel, and, in truth, the common tongue of the Empire, Tamrielic, is based on their speech and writing, and most of the Empire's arts, crafts, and sciences are derived from High Elven traditions.

Altmer -- literally, 'the High, or Cultured People,' or 'High Elves' -- are the light-skinned, tall Elven peoples of the Summerset Isles. 'High' is taken to mean variously 'tall,' 'proud,' and 'culturally snobbish.' In the Empire, 'High Elves' is the common usage.

The Altmer are proud, conceited, and decadent. Their clothes, manners, arts, and crafts are highly refined, but they are godless and spiritually empty. They content themselves with reliving the aged glories of their martial traditions and their mastery of sorcery and enchantment. Their achievements are admirable, but their culture no longer serves any vital purpose.
