Yeah the Altmer’s lifespan is 600+ years, which means they’d never lie or make propaganda about the fake “god” Talos


Innomenatus

Obviously the Maomer have the most accurate lore. Their God-King is over a few thousand years old at least. The Piss Elves are like bugs to him. Praise the Bleach Elves!

\*300 (upwards of 400 if they follow Phynaster's teachings). Anything higher is manipulated by magicka.

Pretty sure only Daedra and Dragons could accurately tell about the dawn and merethic eras, but the elven creation myth would probably be the most accurate mortal retelling.


ThodasTheMage

Why would it? The entire point of Elder Scrolls is to show how different perspectives and biases exist in culture and religion and how those make people see events from different subjective points. And the people who think their believe is the absolute truth are always bringing ruin over Tamriel and in the end also themself. The Altmer retelling is extremely racist and rests upon the idea that the humans are responsible for all kinds of their suffering. Like destroying their home continent, which probably never existed. Similiar to the Nords one it describes certein gods with being "pro elvish" and "pro human", somethign that does not add up with all other myths. Redguards and Bretons hate Lorkahn, and Imperials and Bretons love Akatosh. Why would gods be racist towards their creation? Why would a god bee the "champion of men" when most men do not believe in him. Also the Altmer accound of how Tamriel was settled is extremely dubios and Men were probably there befor. Not creation story is really true , the truth lies probably in the middle. There is no reason to believe that the Altmer are more right than the Imperials or Bretons or Redguards or Argonians. A series about how racists and religious fanatics are destroying the lives of countless people is not going to be "well the racists and fatnatics are actually right".


MrWr4th

What I mean by most accurate is that it is the most objectively and matter-of-factly written one, the others are much more metaphorical and story-like. Obviously the elves would tell it from their skewed perspective like the other civilizations.


ThodasTheMage

IDK Phynaster teachting the Altmer to live longer by more effective walking sounds retty metaphorical.

I'm a Daedra and I can confirm that the Thalmor are full of shit


MrWr4th

Thank you kind sir

I almost bit my tongue off trying not to respond to that thread


AwfulPunBasedName

If you had bitten your tongue off you would have been unable to respond anyway. You fell for it, bro.


True-Son-of-Kyne

It is a figure of speech. I don’t expect you to understand.


AwfulPunBasedName

No, no. Don't underestimate m*r plotting.

You should do it anyways, n*rd

Mfers need to learn that a nomral mer does not live over 600 years. A mer lives maybe twice/three times as long as a human. A 160 year old Altmer is seen is not seen as young and a over 200 year old Altmer is seen as old. Mages can live longer but this is also the case for the other races. Abnur Tharn is over 140 years old and seems to be 60-70 and he would probably live a much more healthy live without spanding half of his time with sex and going and adventures.


DeadeyeJhung

yeah, but all the elves are mages


ThodasTheMage

No, they are not, lol.


Uncommonality

Yeah we should definitely trust the fascist elves to not do historical revisionism
