My dear Dunmer/Maormer Kyriion. Been a while since I drew him.
the one normal maormer willing to talk to me:
I can't get over his name. "Noryesar". My brain keeps auto-translating it to sounding like "Nor'easter", aka 'north-easter', aka a major weather pattern. and then i fool myself into thinking 'oh that's awesome, that's a great lil pun there', as if any of that was intentional and not my adhd atlantic canada brain just finding a connection and latching onto it like a fuckin lamprey.
moar maormer:
i haven't adventured in hew's bane much.
"Unless you plan to take off those clothes and get up on the stage with that tasty glass of shipwreck wine, we've got nothing to talk about-"
uh... hmmmm... well...
"-Damn landlubbers always swarming around me like fleshflies to a candle!"
landlubber? Ma'am.
Ma'am i am an altmer >:U
#just splorin abah's landing#eso#misadventures in videogames#also#maormer#yay!#if i were playing ANY of my other chars it'd apply#but an altmer? >:I#doesn't set me off as all the high isle 'mainlander' scoffing but fhjdsaklfdj;saklfsa#still#it's fine if it's a maormer saying it#because yeah.#especially to an altmer#there's history there
it's really nice going around abah's landing and seeing all these friendly npc maormer hangin around, existing...
it'd be nicer if i could talk to them about themselves and maormer/the sea in general ;__;
#gib fish#gib it to me eso#maormer#spotting all these maormer npcs you can't talk to#and then i come across a single one who you can and he just yammers on about current events#and it's lovely and i love him#i'd like to be able to learn more about maormer FROM maormer#also would be interesting to have them have specific reactions against altmer#like y'know other than the standard 'landlubberrrrrrr' no matter if your people come from islands/are seafaring or not#eso

Regarding ayleid specifically, their skin is darker than that of altmers and their eyes are more consistently lighter, almost always with blue tint. Yeah, they still look like a generic elf, but their appearance is clearly separated from that of altmers
(slapping the other ask on this one since they're related)
Yeah I like that there's something visually different about the Ayleid's from the Altmer/Aldmer (and by eso design standards, skin tone is about as far as they can significantly go). It's mostly based on how Dynar looks, but I also like to imagine they are more square and boxy-er looking than the Aldmer/Altmer (less like your stereotypically tall and graceful fantasy elves) to set them apart.
And I agree I like the yellow Dunmer lol. I mentioned it briefly when I did the ear headcanon thing, but I pretty much picture Chimer as a mix of Dunmer and Altmer characteristics, so it works for me!
Speaking of, when I did the ear headcanon thing I also did this skin tone thing for my own reference as a sort of mapping of general trends. Might as well post them while we're here
these tags are everything to me. THANK YOU. i thought i was alone!

thinking about them elves again
galen bretons: “omg this one sea elf isn’t evil and doesn’t want to kill us? sea elves aren’t all the saaaaaaame??? who could have known!?!?”
the high elf who has worked with sea elves before, whose entire ancestry and culture revolves around constant dealings with sea elves, and was contracted to work for said galen bretons: “... it’s a mystery.”
