The Altmer, also known as High Elves by the denizens of Tamriel, or as the self-titled "Cultured People", are a tall, golden-skinned elven race hailing from the Summerset Isles, the ancient elven race who first arrived on Tamriel from the mythical lost continent of Aldmeris.
The Altmer are renowned as one of the most intelligent races, and their exceptional innate aptitude for magic makes them the most gifted in the arcane arts. This magical affinity is further enhanced by their naturally long lifespans, which range from several centuries to as much as a thousand years—though few ever reach this upper limit due to external factors—a trait that places them among the longest-lived races in Tamriel.
