into the sewer and catacomb systems, they decorate their faces with
black tattoos to remind them of what their ancestors were forced to do
to survive. Leaders and elders use Red.

Here are a few wars fought between the Aldmeris races.
The war of Vostrever:
Less than a century after the Battle of the Arch, the Drethmer and
Cresmer were back to an all out war. This time, due to a great fire in
the Cresmer lands, causing food shortages. They wanted the fertile land
of the Vostrever plains, the main agricultural center for the Drethmer.
The Drethmer had built a series of fortifications along their border
under the command of Ulaan, the Drethmer defensive commander shortly
after the Senmer's defeat decades earlier. He, however, failed to
construct acceptable defenses along the Hosmeri border, which they
believed impassible. The Cresmer general in charge of the offensive,
Alseriur Ghyen, made a daring and unprovoked assault through the
Hosmer, sacrificing a small part of his force to distract the Hosmeri
forces, and once Alseriur's army passed through the mountains into the
foothills north of the Vostrever, the Hosmer did not pursue, wishing
not to implicate themselves in war if at all possible.
Ulaan, knowing full well that properly engaging the Cresmeri forces
would be suicidal, wore away at them with constant harassment from his
archers and mages. Only once did Alseriur's force capture a party of
Ulaan's skirmishers, he hanged them all except for their leader, whose
eyes he put out and sent back to the Drethmer as a warning. This only
served to enrage them further, sending more skirmishers, even at one
point making a raid on their animals, killing or capturing a quarter of
their mounts. Alseriur felt his defeat looming upon him. Desperately,
he ordered his soldiers to invade the small city of Twysrev, the only
large settlement in the Vostrever. The town guard fought valiantly, but
they were few in number, ill equipped, and their best troops were with
Ulaan's army, who had stopped the raids to regroup and restock a day's
march away. They stood no chance against a professional army. The
people of Twysrev were slaughtered. Those who hid in the caves were
smoked out, their mangled bodies hung from the town walls, mocking
Ulaan's army in their failiure to defend their people. Here, Alseriur
hoped to hold out until his messengers could get to his superiors and
send for reinforcements, so he had reinforced the town's defenses,
improving the walls, towers, and constructed some defensive weapons. He
did hold out, Ulaan's forces not prepared to lay seige to their own
city. They kept Alseriur in there, but the town was easy to defend; not
only were the walls good, and all the wooden sections quickly but
securely replaced with iron or stone. Water was plentiful, as like most
Drethmeri cities, the caves led to a fresh water spring, plants thrived
in the soil outside, and fungi in the caves. Ulaan knew that if the
reinforcements came before the winter, they were doomed. He sent
emissaries to the Hosmer, begging them to go to war with the Cresmer,
to fight off the ones who remained in their land. The Hosmer council
refused, but a small army of hot-blooded volunteers heeded this
message, using the mountains to their advantage. As the Cresmer marched
through the passes, they set off avalanches. When the Cresmer persued
them, they trapped them in caves and dead ends, killing them with
rocks, arrows, and spells. When any were captured, they had scrolls
with explosive spells, which killing them and anyone close by.
This force routed the Cresmer. Months passes, and Alseriur began to
dispair.Vesmerkaz Trebuchets dotted the horizon like so many trees,
their rock-armored mercenaries training for the upcoming battle, like
so many vicious lions playing, practising the skills they use for the
hunt. Ulaan was prepared to destroy the whole city to stop him, and now
he knew it.
The attack came at night. rocks flew through the sky, leveling the
walls of Twysrev Some very daring Vesmerkaz used themselves as
missiles, using their armor and some spells to make the fall bearable.
Drethmer poured through the broken walls, cutting down the malnourished
Cresmer soldiers. Vesmerkaz mercenaries went straight to Alseriur and
his officers, and had captured him in the span of an hour, brought in
chains to Ulaan. He took his new prisoners to the Council Hall of
Twysrev. He also brought the officer whose eyes Alseriur had put out
the last year. He returned the favor to all of them, not just taking
their eyes, but their hands and feet. He left them to die, blind, and
unable to walk or even drag themselves, in the halls of the city they
had sacked.
A week later, they returned to the stinking corpses of the Cresmer
officers, and decapitated them all. Ulaan had the heads sent in a great
cart pulled by oxen, to the Cresmer king. Except for Alseriur's. His
skull remains a posession of Ulaan's family to this day.
The battle of the arch:
After the fall of aldmeris, the survivors were quick to form into close
knit groups, which are the origins of the races of the present, and
many began to rebuild imediately. But those who disapered into the
frozen tundra were spread out, unorganized, and as a result where one
of the last to develop a civilization. When they emerged, they
disturbed the delicate politial balance between the Crestmer and the
drethmer. In an attempt to be recognized as a true kingdom, they built
the great Arch of silarver, but it ended in both the crestmer and the
drethmer uniting against the senmer. The two sacred leaders of the
senmer, the twin stars were in a disagreement. One was certain that
they must attack the enemy premptively, the other that theymust hold
their ground. A comprimise could not be reached, and in his anger, one
left the city with the soldiers loyal to him and attacked a force much
larger than his own, they were slaughtered. The remaining force was no
match for the now bloodthirsty invaders and they, along with the arch,
were destroyed. With the senmer no longer a threat, the crestmer and
drethmer went back to their bickering, and the sethmer reformed, only
now with three leaders, one leader left the power to focused, and with
two, confilict was inevitable, to this day rather than one grand arch,
they unite themselves as a people with an arch atop every
This is just a small portion of our current lore, I hope you will join and become part of this creation.
Here is some more interesting lore.
Corvus
In the ancient days of the aldmer, before the endless city or the
discovery of the sphere, Aldmeris was a land in turmoil. The armies led
by the ambitious Sious were marching on Corvus, the floating city which
was held aloft by Vichite, a rare gem from the most dangerous regions
of the crystal desert, it is said to form only the footsteps of the
gods. The people of corvus were not going to lie down and die, even
though they new they had no chance. They built the Klight towers,
watchtowers which would serve as their first, and last, defense. The
towers were built to last, to fire upon all but the inhabitants
themselves, they would use them to fight, and upon defeat, they would
leave the city to be destroyed by the towers, leaving it hospitable to
none. There towers worked and the city lie in ruins atop the floating
stone, a dead zone. Most have ceased to function, though a few still
guard the palace, a place which has not seen life for centuries. The
city is said to hold great riches for those who can brave the strange
mutant Aldmer which live there, or the rumored last survivors of
Corvus.
The crystal Desert.
Only referred to as a desert due to its harsh terrain, in reality it is
plagued by savage lighting storms that strike the Explosive Cichite
which make large portions of the desert constantly ablaze. Inhabited by
strange creatures which feed off the flame and lightning, which appear
to be made of the crystals themselves. There are tales of hallows in
which one may communicate with the expansive wisdom of the aldmer,
stored in the semi-intelligent Zurchite, and the legendary sentient
Lilichite. This was the site of the development of the most horrible
experiments conducted by the Twisted rebellion movement Gigith in the
early days of the aldmeri empire.
