    @Olauron @Cirantille I will do a warden.
    Well my 2 ladies do not really have a lore friendly name so I guess it is time to make one with the altmer warden ice mage.
    I am so bad at names tho :lol:

    UESP page is really great for this, you can mix and match parts of names and voila you have a new lore friendly name :)

    How do you figure out altmer names and what they mean? I wanted to give my altmer a more rp friendly name.

    Just as @BlueRaven I use existing names as a starting point and then modify them if necessary (using common patterns as anca-, cele-, -ndil, -nil, etc.). For names of ayleid origin I use this page.

    It is OK to have an altmer name without a surname, but if you want, you can add it (see Vanus Galerion, Ayrenn Arana Aldmeri).

    I named mine Ahmelyse not sure if that was lore friendly enough.

    There is that quest in Summerset about the duel, where the High elf has this ridiculously long name. So high elf names can be quite long.

    But that does not necessarily mean the name you put on your character needs to be that long. Your character name could be the “familiar” name, the name other people may call your character.

    For example, a character could be called “Maximilian Fredrick Wilhelm Olmstead” but if everyone just calls them “Max”, then just having a character called “Max” would be sufficient. Just translate that to high elf names.

    Edit: Your name sounds great to me!

    So many beautiful Altmet here <3

    Due to limited number of character slots, some of mine are now "diseased", but here are my two survivors.

    One of my most important characters, Lannorian. Born to an aristocratic family from Sommerset, left without a word not to bring shame to them when he was attacked & changed. He's a vampire. Confused & ridden with guilt after each feeding, he finally found a new family, Fennorian & Verandis, who taught him the right ways.

    (I know what you're thinking but his name and look are a coincidence. I only enhanced it with the hair when I realised :D )

    UWWFdhi.png

    And Noremo Noroldilnor. With such a name, of course he's a high born Altmer. But instead of going to the College of Sapiarchs, he set off for adventure. Got even more adventurous after meeting a cocky Daedric relic hunter. She teases by him calling him "Chimer Golden Boy".

    Glory to you and your Dunmer House!

    Altmers have very long surnames since they care about their ancestry and carry their names
    So they usually do not show surnames in game

    Always nice to see other people's characters :)
    I know we have a fashion megathread but highlighting each race individually and bringing together people who may not just focus only on the look but also on the backstory makes it special and each character unique.

    Also my Khajiit thread is also for IRL cats lovers,2 things combined in one :blush:

    this is Cilenyaen, who's my most recent OC. She loves singing and gourmet cooking, being a pro at the former and beginner at the latter. She makes her living performing music at tavern venues and things like that.
    She's not combat oriented at all but knows a little bit of ice destruction magic, mainly as an artistic outlet making ice sculptures and stuff. ESO is full of combat so I just play her as an ice magicka warden.

    and this is a screenshot I got after a pledge that I thought looked really cool. She would never go to a place like SCP in reality, especially not in that dress, but ya
