Why no Snow Elves?

I mean in Skyrim we got to meet one, but that was fourth era. Surely in second era there were more around. Maybe a quest or dlc that explores this? At the very least a few motifs, a set or two and some furnishing styles would be nice.

✭✭✭✭✭Whatever ones weren't killed by Ysgramor were turned into falmor by the Dwemer, long before the 2nd era started. Very few would even be close to remaining, likely only the one from Skyrim, and I doubt we ever see that one in ESO.9 -

This. And much of their "society" such as motifs and furnishings may have been destroyed during the war. Unlike Dwemer ruins, I do not recall seeing snow elf ruins in any game. Just the devolved Falmor.0 -

While it is possible that there are other enclaves, there is no information about them in the 4th era. It is likely a way to introduce them in the future, not in the past. Of course, the same thing didn't stop ESO devs with Blackreach, but I am not a fan of such approach.Unlike Dwemer ruins, I do not recall seeing snow elf ruins in any game.

Actually there were 2. And they were brothers.
Vyrthur was a vampire who was forsaken by Auri-El.
His brother, Gelebor, was a Knight-Paladin of Auri-El and guardian of the Chantry of Auri-El.
It was said after the gynecide of the Snow Elves, not all went to stay with the Dwemer, but hid in the Forgotten Valley.
Yes, the 2 brothers are there, as we meet them in 900 years, but, in the ESO timeline, the destruction of the Snow Elves was over 5,000years ago during the Late Middle Merethic Era.
So no, Snow Elves would be TOO out of place.

✭We need more Falmer content. Not all the Falmer took the Dwemer's offer and many went into hiding, in fact, I'd argue that most Falmer were skeptical of the Dwemer's offer given the cultural differences between the two races and general distruct of each other, and that only a minority of Falmer became the Betrayed. There's ample genetic diversity to keep the race going well into the 4th era. Gelebor has never left the chancery and so he doesn't know anything about what has happened over the past 5000 years. It's more likely than not that there's a lot of Falmer refuges tucked away in other places like the Forgotten Vale. The area of High Rock between the Druaddach and Wrothgarian Mountains is the best place for surviving Falmer to have fled to, and I would be very disappointed if we didn't see any if there's ever content there.Vy • lae • ra | Fan of all things Vampiric | PC NA | Accurate World Map artist | Immaculate Reshade author1 -

In my opinion the only way those 2 brothers makes any sense is if there are actively Snow Elves left during this game.0 -
