Altmer, or High Elves as others call them, are a very proud and self-centered race. They look upon other races as lesser, while in return they get distasteful looks at the very least. While they are very potent magic users, it’s also their biggest weakness.
Today, they live in a rather rigid class hierarchy, where the Wise are on the top, followed by Artists, Princes, Warriors, and so on.
Altmer names are actually extensive, detailing histories of both sides of their family, and their whole culture is heavily based on social status. They consider their own name important, and some good examples are Trenarto Athal and Sirorne Elsinor.
