@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

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

Olauron, Mathiisen Canonreeve. Just an altmer.


Gilgonnar, a 16 year old servant girl of Kinlady Estre. Later in 4th era she is a grandmother and an innkeeper.


Welrielle-a, translated "I (am) sky beauty", is a Direnni elf (named due to the help of Laloriaran Dynar in the Battle of Glenumbra Moors).


Chim-el Varlamir (previously Varlamir, also known as Varla Racuvar), as a son of Hadhuul he is the last Fire King of Ceyatatar, a High Priest of Magnus and a commander of Celethelel the Singer in the battle with Pelinal. He is not an altmer, but an ayleid.


Fasilmare is a seamer (ship mage during the 2nd era, senior ship mage during the 3rd era, rogue captain during 4th era). He is half-altmer and half-ayleid.


Sealady Isadora (an ice witch) is actually a maormer.


Ayem Valor is not really an altmer, as she is daughter of Almalexia and Salas Valor, who was born before she was conceived and is just a guest in the 2nd era. She will return to the 4th, when the time will be linear again.


Celehane is a grandson of Celethelel the Singer (and thus 1/4 ayleid and 3/4 altmer), who was taken by the same time rift as his soul mate Ayem.

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.

Do they need surnames as well? I might remake my name.

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

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).

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!

Thanks for starting this thread, @Lady_Galadhiel! Always appreciate seeing everyone's creations. Some stylish High Elves in this thread!

Fenris_Arainai

So many beautiful Altmet here

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 )



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".

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

cyclonus11

Okay. Haven't played her at all yet, though, except to level riding skills.

@runa_gate
Great looking high elf,thanks for sharing

Lady_Galadhiel

@carthalis A high elf with a nord touch,very interesting!
Thanks for posting.

Lady_Galadhiel

@ZOS_Kevin
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

Lady_Galadhiel

@Fenris_Arainai You have beautiful high elves yourself!
Great to see a vampire high elf,also that outfit goes really well with the look of him.
Nice combination,I really like them both.
Thanks for posting

Lady_Galadhiel

@cyclonus11 Looking amazing in the high elf hero outfit Interesting to see the skin tone you did choose,I can see that on a lot of NPCs but less on other players characters.
Tthanks for posting

@Chips_Ahoy
Oh a savage one Nice to see a different style for an altmer.
Thanks for sharing ☺️

emilyhyoyeon

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

Lady_Galadhiel

@emilyhyoyeon She seems very mystical and talented by what you wrote.
Indeed that dungeon is a great place for an ice warden
Thanks for posting your character is great.

Great work, very tasteful! What're your color combinations here?

@Folkb - what hair color is that? I don't make many Altmer and most of mine have blond hair since I tend to prefer gold jewelry.... I can't remember a color that dark offhand, and not in game right now.... (and I KNOW we don't have black for anyone but Leythen....)
