I've been obsessively combing through every bit of information I can find on the Maormer, also known as Sea Elves, since being introduced to them in ESO. Here are all my notes about them!
Appearance / Physiology
Maormer are similar to Altmer in build.
Their typical skin is compared to ocean spray or white jelly.
They have blank, white eyes.
Their ears have typical elven pointed tips, but with fin-like flares.
They often have elaborate tattoos.
Under certain unsubscribed conditions, they can change the appearance of their skin to gain scales.
They are capable of drinking salt water, thanks to their tongues being able to filter out the salt.
They are able to remain steady on their feet even in rough waters, and are naturally nimble.
Leviathans are a special kind of Maormeri, born from magical coupling with sea serpents. They are taller than Nords, have scales all over their bodies, are physically strong, and are capable of popping out and stretching their jaws to swallow large prey, like a large snake.
History
It was long believed that Maormeri were exiled from the Summerset Isles long ago, by Altmeri. In actuality, the Sea Elves were separated from their High Elf cousins in their original homeland of Aldmeris.
Allegedly, there was once an exceptionally wealthy nobleman (Orgnum) who financed a rebellion in Aldmeris, and when the rebellion failed, were banished to the island of Pyandonea.
Orgnum became the King of Pyandonea as a "deathless wizard" and allegedly the Serpent God, Satakal.
In 2E 570, Orgnum sent an ambassador Sealord to Sunport to suggest an alliance with the Altmer Corelanya Clan, against the throne in Summerset. Regent Karinwe politely declined, and said that no more than one Maormer ship at a time be docked at her port, or she would question King Orgnum's intentions.
Despite being allies of the Second Aldmeri Dominion, the Dominion allowed the Colovian kings to destroy Maormer outposts on the western coast.
Orgnum has launched countless attacks against the Summerset Isles. In 3E 1100, he was nearly successful in seizing control. (Also during this time, Orgnum met with Queen Potema to agree to an insurrection against the Emperor; a lie on Potema's part.) The Psijics of Artaeum ultimately annihilated the Maormer fleet in the War of the Isles, forcing them to retreat back to Pyandonea. They have yet to return.
Pyandonea
The Maormer primarily reside on Pyandonea: an archipelago kingdom south of the Summerset Isles.
Pyandonea translates to "The Mist-Veiled Isles". Appropriately named, because the island is surrounded by a disorienting mist.
The island is mostly covered in dense rain forest, marshes, and home to water spirits.
Tendrils of kelp in bays trap all but the Maormer's ships, and act as camouflage for sea serpents.
Life and Culture
The Maormer have a clan structure, under the ruler of King Orgnum.
King Orgnum uses magic rituals and sacrifices to continually renew his youth.
Some Maormer clans are opposed to necromancy, finding liches to be abhorrent. They believe that when a Sea Elf dies, their body belongs to Mother Sea, where they are guided into the beyond through song.
Sea Witches act as religious figures or magic leaders.
The Maormer have a special loathing for Altmer, and consider consorting with one to be tantamount to treason. This is nursed by King Orgnum, who has a grudge over his exile and envy of the Summerset Isles. Falling in love with a High Elf is the ultimate taboo.
They consider being stranded with someone at sea the sign of a fateful match.
Maormer tea is made with rose and seaweed.
Silverbloom, a plant native to Galen, is considered a delicacy.
They value seastones for ritual use as well as jewellery-making. Hues of blues and purples hold special value.
They sometimes call non-Sea Elves "groundwalkers" as an insult.
Seafaring
Maormer are so at home on the water, that they can survive at sea indefinitely, so long as their ship remains sea-worthy.
Their cutters are faster than any ship made by the Altmer.
Their fleets are most often made up of small vessels for quick hit-and-run engagements.
Most ships have at least one Sea Mage on board, capable of controlling the weather.
Maormer also breed/train reef vipers and sea serpents for engaging in naval warfare.
Combat & Magic
Maormer favour sabers, and consider anyone who can't use one to be an embarrassment to their kind.
Their mages practice "Snake Magic" - a skill capable of taming sea serpents for use as steeds and war beasts.
They know how to use "Storm Totems" to collect spirit energy from rune-marked sacrifices, capable of channelling it into summoning hurricanes or binding powerful storm atronachs. The Maormer wear loadstones on their wrists to bypass the lightning bonds themselves.
Their weapons are marvellously lightweight, which is a hallmark of their craftsmanship.
They prefer to wear armour made from porpoise hide or ornaug leather, in the form of vests and chest wraps.
They very rarely use steel to craft armour, as it weighs too heavy for good swimming speed.
They wash their clothes with dreugh wax to treat it for salty sea spray.
Their bows are made of yew native to Pyandonea, and often elaborately decorated with sea serpent motifs.
They also make use of a mysterious lightweight metal called orgnium, found in Pyandonea.
Daggers and swords are typically curved, with a barbed hook behind the point.
Maormer wear snake fang styled charms on ankle bracelets, necklaces, and earrings to honour their king.
In the First Era, Maormer invented locks capable of keeping slaves docile and compliant, using Snake Magic.
Miscellaneous
Juline Courcelles, owner of the tour company Savage Systres Tours on Galen, considers the Maormer living on Galen to be "exotic" and tries to entice them into working for her as performing tour guides.
Most black eltheric pearls come from Maormer pearl farms, by inserting snake scales into Pyandonean Snap-Mussels.
When Queen Potema invited King Orgnum to her bed, he used strange herbs that "made her feel as if she was floating on the surface of time, conscious only of the gestures of love after she had found herself making them. She felt herself like the cooling mist, quenching the fire of his lust over and over and over again." So, apparently the Maormer have magic sex drugs?

truly some people have no genre savviness whatsoever. A girl came back from the dead the other day and fresh out of the grave she laughed and laughed and lay down on the grass nearby to watch the sky, dirt still under her nails. I asked her if she’s sad about anything and she asked me why she should be. I asked her if she’s perhaps worried she’s a shadow of who she used to be and she said that if she is a shadow she is a joyous one, and anyway whoever she was she is her, now, and that’s enough. I inquired about revenge, about unfinished business, about what had filled her with the incessant need to claw her way out from beneath but she just said she’s here to live. I told her about ghosts, about zombies, tried to explain to her how her options lie between horror and tragedy but she just said if those are the stories meant for her then she’ll make another one. I said “isn’t it terribly lonely how in your triumph over death nobody was here to greet you?” and she just looked at me funny and said “what do you mean? The whole world was here, waiting”. Some people, I tell you.

Disclaimer: I’m not the first artist to do this! I just thought it was fun and it would make a nice speed paint. Also feel like it’s canon. I feel it in my heart.
writing dialogue for Astarion in like a normal text editor is very difficult actually because it feels like all his dialogue should be created with WordArt
