I think a new race is unlikely but putting new cosmetics that allow you to RP other races seems like a great idea. I hope that they do provide the tools to allow us to make our own unique looking Maormar character if we want.

I like it that in all TES games the same 10 races are playable. Sure, some TES games had less than that (in Arena you couldn't play Orcs and Imperials, in Redguard you were playing a... Redguard), but there wasn't a TES game that had additional races. Whenever I see these "new races threads" I can't stop thinking that I actually like it that ESO sticks to this principle of the series.

More as a general thought though, nothing wrong with more customizations for people that like to roleplay as a different race.

They actually have a skin made already, I would post a picture but for some reason it won’t upload.

We know the zombie "skin" is unique in that you could visibly see tattoos through the chunks of non damaged flesh.

Black Marrow Necromancer, Amber Plasm, and (to a lesser extent) the Fabrication Sheath, all allow you to see the tattoos a character has. The zombie skin is kinda underwhelming in this regard because it blurs the tattoos somehow.

EDIT: Derp.

Yea I don't have those other skins but looking at comparisons to skins or polymorphs especially with the more detailed content we are getting it is certainly within the realm of possibility.

If you look at the Sea keep quest and just the sheer volume of potential maormer numbers

It's a potential happenstance occurrence that not everyone is buying into the (extremely long timeframe) between orgnum exile and the altmer maormer hostilities.
They hate each other for the sake of an exile banishment from so long ago to think no maormer ever questioned that need to fight seems kinda silly.

Though the maormer are probably just as ruthless at punishing and eliminating such ppl.

So from a novel role play there is wiggle room for players with the new summerset tutorial maybe you grew disillusioned with your war on the altmer, maybe you want to know peace maybe your a *** child or lost a lover maybe you just wanted to break away from the Sea and explore tamriel maybe even be so vain as to want to be a hero to tamriel to "prove your racial superiority over the altmer"

Idk those are just a few random rps off the top of my head they all seem somewhat plausible.
And what's cool is how ESO allows us the ability to play a story quests etc but allows us the freedom to role play in ways they could never plan for and they nurture those kinds of players by giving us such amazing freedom.
