The Thalmor

The Thalmor are a powerful, secretive faction of Altmer (High Elves) in the Elder Scrolls universe, particularly within Skyrim. They serve as the ruling government of the Aldmeri Dominion, an alliance of Elven nations. The Thalmor prioritize Elven superiority, promote their cultural and political interests, and exert significant influence over regional and global affairs. They often maintain a strict, authoritarian stance, suppressing human and other non-Elf populations to preserve their ideals. Their actions are driven by a desire to restore Elven dominance and protect their civilization’s interests, often through political maneuvering and covert operations.
