Okay, as for why I even like them? I don’t really know. I guess they just like, elegantly tick every must have in my list of what I usually like in fantasy nations, so to say?

Elves, badass mages, with crazily pleasing whole aesthetic thing? Ethereal, shrouded in mysteries Summerset, all that gold and crystals and shimmering stuff, eagles and that whole thing about being descendants of gods or how it works, I dunno, I am a lore pancake, like, damn, I am bought??? I am bought.And like, Altmer themselves being all these tall, golden-skinned and therefore kinda also like unreal, ethereal and so on and also snooty bananas and not only this? Like, just let me love them, they are amazing. Not necessarily good, but like. Amazing.

Like, I mean, I am not sure what exactly works good for me and clicks so well, but somehow it does and I am not really going to try and dissect the feel. Also like, yeah, I am a lore pancake so there are probably a good load of shit I am missing in lore, but eh, I am a simple person. I see a banana, I probably love banana.

As for what games got me into Elder Scrolls. Well, I guess I will just tell the whole story.So, my first game TES game was Oblivion. I am not exactly sure what year it was, but judging by the info on my disc - it was probably something like 2007-08 and I played it A LOT. And by A LOT I mean, like, A LOT. But since I was a little larvae of a human I honestly doesn’t really paid much attention to things going on beside WOAH, SWORDS.I wasn’t a smart larvae. I am still not very smart.

I mean, while I played it back them I barely done and quests because, like, you need to talk to NPC to start most quest-line? And I was far too stupid or shy or probably both to figure it out. So I hardly done anything in a game. Mostly I was just running around eating bees and playing some quest mods and so on. Main quest-line also and DLC. Ah, good days.

So, I played Oblivion a real lot, so it was just a question of time, that eventually i got myself Skyrim too. Since it was kind of before the DLC, but most likely not immediately after game was out I bet it was 2012 or maybe really early 2013. And so, as a not so much of a larvae I decided to continue my adventuring in Tamriel.

I mean, judging by the fact that earliest pictures of Elanor go back to 2013 I bet I was kinda right with dates. I also was drawing like a complete goof back then. Also I just got flashback to what I was writing back then and I have much fear in my soul. Ah, anyway.

So, it was 2012-2013. I of course don’t remember details of my playthroughs back then, but I guess I started with argonian or maybe khajiit, because I was always playing them in Oblivion and probably I was just, like, following the whole main quest  and like, doing side quests and such.Probably just going like, okay game, whatever you say about plot, let’s go with this is you want.Probably after a bit of test runs I started like, getting invested in story and stuff and so on. I also was able to like, google stuff at this point, but this is another thing.So, at some point I like, got a load of personal opinions about things. Like, you know, Ulfric goes yeet for the crime of being dumbass asshole, Blades go yeet for the crime of being mean to Dragon Grandpa, these Thalmor dudes are kind of really intriguing so lore pls and also I would and I had read almost every even crappy fics with Ancano, kind of those, you know. A lot more of them, tho. Alduin in a major babe and I want to boop his snoot. I still want, tho.

So, basically at this point I kind of. Created Elanor. Originally I got like, really curious would playing as an Altmer affect anything given like, the whole circumstances and the world state???(It didn’t really. Shame)So when I got a feeling that I will get nothing I decided to deliver enjoyment myself and kinda starter reading up stuff and creating her backstory and so and eventually ended up. Like. Where I ended up, lol.

But like, from the very, very, very beginning I knew that even if mean elfe are kinda antagonists, they for sure have the best style in game. Later I decided that yeah, they are assholes. But now they are my assholes and here is also a screaming banana dovahkiin. Also on like, second playthrough i was already screaming curses at the general direction of Bethesda for not allowing me to hang out with and spare mean snarky elfe Ancano.
