because of the Maormer in Sunhold that I believe are the only ones that have the skin of scales, the leviathans - I am glad there are different skins that might be used to play a Maormer instead - like this Arctic skin - I feel when I use the Maormer skin as is - on a Maormer character played that I see her as such - a leviathan - so I do hope too that a more translucent skin will come as well - similar to the Maormer seen in Khenarthis Roost maybe. The oracle eyes work with this Arctic skin as well.

Yes technically only leviathans have scales but most Maormer original characters I’ve seen have scales anyways because they’re cool.

and i got the Orphan of the Stars skin which i think works quite well for maormer.

Yes, Maormer don’t have scales as far as I know. I preferred the depiction without and I don’t think patches of scales make any sense (even for a magical made up race) nor look good aesthetically. The Maormer skin looks more like a magically induced skin condition or something…

Decided to make a Snow Elf!
She lived in studious exile on her home of Solstheim, and her isolation allowed her to avoid the extermination/subjugation of her people. She likes tinkering with old Dwemer bits and studying the Skaal from afar. (And long walks on the frozen beach etc etc)

I agree with you about the Orphan of the Stars skin. I thought about getting it for my Maormer (or maybe a wispmother character), but it's too pricey for me. I wish they would have kept the apex tier to mounts instead of adding skins, costumes, etc. that are so expensive. I'll buy a nice skin for 100 gems if I really like it, but 400 just seems excessive. I can't bring myself to do it. It looks good on your character though.

I second this! Really really wanted it for my maormer as well, but 400 gems is a loooooot for a skin I’ll probably only use in that specific instance. But then I did also spend that many on the Bouyant Armiger Ornaug for her…though i’m a stickler for matching and I’m worried if I make her skin too blue I’ll want all her outfits/mounts to also be blue forever which isn’t as fun so I’m torn!

new outfit for my maormer after i recently got the Dreadsail legs and Systres Guardian boots 🌸

Speaking of Maormer, here's mine!

Really happy with how she turned out.

She’s absolutely gorgeous!

How did you achieve the skin tone starting from an Altmer?
Great outfit too! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much! Stage 1 Vamp

It's the closest I've gotten from trying lots of different variations!

New Magical Panda attack for Xhinsae-Naika!! thanks to Scribing

I had some hard time last year to find a fitting akaviri mount, as I don't have the potentate horse (only the poney pet version) but finally I remembered that long ago, I got that Masked Bear. According to the flavor text, it was indeed meant to come from the Cloud ruler Temple!

(Mount description:
Both swift and strong, the Masked Bear of the Jerall Mountains is a popular mount along the high passes between Bruma and Falkreath.
Pet description:
The handsome breed of Masked Bears are native to the Pale Pass region of the Jerall Mountains, which has given rise to the legend that they came in the First Era with the invaders from Akavir who ended up there. Bears from Akavir? Really?)

Oh this is more matching that i would expected!
Like the Opalescent epidermis it fits the old lore descriptions of Sea Elves quite well.

Okay, now I'm considering turning my Maormer vamp.

I think this is a great solution! Thanks for pointing it out. It is sometimes difficult to find the right mount for a non-playable race.

(I haven't really played around with scribing too much so far, but having your mount involved in combat does seem fun.)

Dojohoda · November 2024

I made this character look like this 2 or 3 years ago. It's my best effort at a Maormer, but being a red-headed dark elf, she kinda misses that mark.

She looks great! There are a lot of interesting humanoid types of Daedra. I wish I had enough slots to make them all.

I like her skin texture and the color of her gear! In my mind, there are various subgroups of Maormer (like Leviathans), so who's to say some of them don't have red hair? If you aren't feeling the red anymore, though, you could try the Azure Ombre wig, which turns your hair blue regardless of its original color.

Kallykat · April 2025

With the new Carnaval Crate costume, I took the opportunity to dress my Imperial as a Birdfolk from the story of Topal the Pilot:

For eleven days, they traveled north, until they came
To a crystalline lake, and eight islands of
Surpassing beauty and peace.
Brilliant flightful creatures of glorious colors
Greeted them in Aldmeri language,
Making the mer wonder, until they
Understood they were only calling back
The word they were speaking without
Understanding it, and then the sailors
Laughed.
Topal the Pilot was enchanted with the islands
And the feathered men who lived there.
There the Niben stayed for a moon, and the bird
Men learned how to speak their own words,
And with taloned feet, to write.
In joy for their new knowledge, they made Topal
Their lord, giving him their islands for the
Gift.

Has anyone else created their own Birdfolk character? I'd love to see more examples!

Been meaning to post this here – seen during heartsweek in Craglorn – though I wish I had names turned on to give credit – or zoomed in a bit more or had a better graphics card or even taken a little video for his companion was dancing so intune to his music played..

This is cute! A faun is another character on my list.

yup! just arctic rime, but I'll add frosty features if the crate ever returns, and maybe tinker with gloomlurker markings to see if the white works

Hello fellow non-playable race enjoyers! After a LOT of dye attempts (and then running to stand next to npcs...) I think I've figured out the best dye combinations for Storm Shark and Sea Viper uniforms. They've been uploaded to ESO-Hub for easy viewing if anyone's in need of them:

Storm Sharks: Heavy - Medium - Light

Sea Vipers: Heavy - Medium - Light

Hoping to figure out the Sea Viper captain armor as well but accessing the npcs to compare myself to is a pain. : (

Thanks for sharing! Those really look like the NPCs. I like the dark makeup around the white eyes too.

Thank you!! The markings are Night Mother's Embrace. I thought he looked kinda scary but he is a Maormer after all haha. Endlessly struggling to find a good facial marking for him since his canon look is based on one of the Skyrim Argonian face paints and there's just nothing that really matches what I need.

the new Southern Leviathan skin is nice for Maormer! ♥

I was thinking the same thing. I bet it would look nice with the Amenos Ornaug mount too.
