Thinking what if mer had 3rd eyelids like cats for extra eyes protection I imagine when closed you can vaguely see their pupils
For Altmer theirs is golden but bc their etiquette it’s never seen unless they absolutely need to probably considered very rude to show them when not needed showing them during a convo is like rolling your eyes at someone
Dunmer have red lids it’s a lot more accepted in their culture to close the 3rd lid especially after the red year
Bosmer have greenish brown ones they use when hunting to help camouflage their eyes since the 3rd dominion takeover they’ve had to adjust to Altmeri social norms of only using when needed previously they were very casual about their lids showing
Orismer have green ones they use when fighting eachother contrary to Altmer it’s rude for an orc not to use their lids when fighting eachother ESPECIALLY when battling a chieftain
Falmer have white pre blindness they had similar standard to Altmer though a lil more lax post blindness they use them all the time
Dwemer hove more golden bronze I imagine a lot of them used them after a long day of working on robots to help relax
Aylieds I imagine are gold like Altmer same etiquette rules however they deliberately used them around the humans bc they didn’t view them as worthy of respect
