Snow Elves & Sea Elves Armor

Inhuman003

I mean we are talking about a dead race well almost dead race there should be armor and weapons that should be found in ESO ruins, dungeons, treasure chest and special zone.
Just take a look at the Dwemer race the lore book, armor, weapons, ruins and more items are in ESO. Basically there should be a crafting motif and costumes for Snow Elves & Sea Elves. I hate to think if this is any possibility that ZoS maybe keeping them out for a future expansions.

Maybe along coasts, I agree. That'd be a nice rare find.
Since they're mostly sea-faring though I can't imagine there would be much in-land even if a few pieces circulated.

The Dwemer have so many artifacts left behind because they weren't hunted to extinction/driven off, they just Weren't one day. And their ruins are covered with murderbots, which judging by the corpses of the various bandits you encounter they're patrolling the places fairly frequently.

Snow Elves were driven to near-extinction and their civilization razed before being corrupted by the Dwemer, so there's really only the small pockets like the Forgotten Vale (which has an apt name) where you'd be able to find their stuff. Their main area of influence is as-of-yet unexplored territory, though. Really only northern Eastmarch and mmmmaybe extreme eastern Wrothgar would have much of a chance.

Maormer, I could see there being stuff for, though. Maybe in a Summerset expansion, if we get one. I think the ones in-game wear Ancient Elf armor, which I guess is kind of their motif.

It's pretty similar to ancient elf, but there's minor details like being sleeveless, and being darker that make it a "Maormer" motif

The Maormer armor style does already exist, actually. Its a slight variation of the Ancient Elven style (the sleeves are cut off). You cant craft it, but the armors from tempest island use it. I believe that the weapons are in a unique style as well.

As for Falmer armor, there are no Snow Elf ruins in the game, so nowhere for the motif to drop. If they ever did make a snow elf motif (very unlikely tbh) it would be crown exclusive.

The falmer were not widespread enough to have many pieces of armor looted or spread out, and they were so thoroughly exterminated or enslaved that I doubt much of their artifacts survived.

The Maormer ARENT exterminated or extinct, and as others have pointed out, their armor is basically ancient elf (ayleid) armor.

Snow elf armor would require more skyrim zones. It wouldn't be too far fetched to find it in the rift, though.

Idk about the rift, but the northern part of eastmarch, or near Saarthal (spelling?) in Winterhold, would be more ideal.

Maormer armor motiv is in the game, just not available to learn at this time. If they ever decide to make that race unlockable for players, they likely would also add the motiv to in-world drops...
In my opinion though, it looks way to similar to the "ancient elf" style, and could use some modifications... more watery-snake-y alterations, etc.

Snow elf armor on the other hand is way more of an issue. Unlike the dwemers, the snow elves did not just vanish one day and leave all their stuff behind, but they were defeated all aacross skyrim by the atmorans. It stands to reason that most of their stuff wouldf have been taken as spoils of war, and eventuelly be melted down and reforged in nord style...

Now, when they make more skyrim regions (which is likely in the more distant futrure of ESO), who knows, a "old snow elf stronghold" might make a nice dungeon, and it could come with a "snow elf motiv", which most likely would be ancient elf-like but with more "winter style" for collars and other heavy padding I might imagine... perhaps also sporting a bit "snow and ice style" alterations...

Oh, well. Time will tell.

Yeah, basically the point I was going to make about Maomer as a motif. It'd still be nice to have, though.

As strongly as I come out against anyone playing Falmer, I'd have nothing against a dungeon centered on one of their ruins. Though, as with Maomer, their style was a variation on the High Elf style from Skyrim, so probably something very similar to the Altmer motif we've got.

I agree on the falmer dungeon, but I think that Maormer motif should reflect their tropical home. The sleeveless look is pretty good, but I wish that they had serpent designs on them or something. The way they are now, is waaay too boring. Maybe make the armor have a sort of like sharper edges like the fins of a serpent, or give the helmets a sort of shark mouth.
