Summerset Maormer are interesting

They've got veiny, more blue-looking skin, light-reactive eyes and finned ears. I have mixed feelings about it, for I adore the vanilla maormer found throughout Aldmeri Dominion territory/on Khenarthi's Roost.

I find the eyes delightful, though a little 'eh-eh' at the same time. The idea that they're so light reactive is cool and plays into the whole (pardon the derogatory speech) 'fish-elf' aspect. It reminds me of deep-sea creatures. The finned ears seem... kind of pointless- more aesthetic than anything...? Their skin- well. On the one hand it looks the same, on the other hand it looks more 'colored' than before. The veins are an interesting addition though, given they've been described as having colorless skin like 'limpid jelly' or something.

Shame they didn't implement any immediately-accessible Maormer/Pyandonean wearables/skins/etc. I know Pyandonean motifs are about now, (I came into a legs motif from the psijic crate) but still. They're so interesting and enigmatic, yet they're a good-sized part of the Aldmeri Dominion faction storyline (you can find them almost everywhere in Aldmeri Dominion territory, most of which are permanent respawning enemies.) as well as in Hew's Bane. I know there's Sea-Viper costumes, but those get destroyed if you get knocked around.

I'm not unappreciative of them being included in Summerset, and for the Pyandonean motifs, but I just wish there was more for us to play with/use, you know?

What do you think? Casting lore aside of course.

    The vanilla moamer are likely their early model and their summerset moamer is how they were meant to look. Sorta wish they updated the old maomer and replaced their ancient elf motif with the new maomer motif and give them the new skin. ordinators also got a new and improved motif but in mournhold they still have their old bland motif

    Isn’t the Ancient Elf motif supposed to represent the Ayleid, would be strange if they changed it round like that. Although it would be nice if they went back and updated the character models to be consistent.

    Here are pics of a Maormer character in one of the Summerset quests. She had such an interesting look that I took screenshots.

    nah you want variety stay as a possibility (both old and new look) if you ever gonna release a whole playable race (I'm talking about ZOS)

    Notice how they name the new motif Pyandonean instead of the Maormer style you find in the tempest island dungeon.

    Aaaand they add a bunch of interesting skills for maormers in summerset as well.

    Aaaaaaaand if the next chapter is gonna be Elsewhyr, they will have maormer at their shore as well.

    Not saying it's 100% legit, but from where i'm looking a maormer race or storm class is very possible, then ZOS will want the variety of the race remain just in case

    If anyone hasn't done the quest, or plans to do it again on another character, could someone take a screenshot of her eyes in darker lighting? They lose the pale color and go very dark, it's interesting.

    Oh, the snakeskin maormer. In lore they are called maormer levithans and they are experiments of crossing snakes and maormer
