My fellow scholar would have you believe the Elves of the Ashlands are unstoppable. They point to Red Mountain and other triumphant, if hard-fought, battles against the Dwemer as proof. But once long ago, our people were as far as a mountainside in Skyrim. In that distant time, we were drive to the edge of defeat. In the time before the Red Mountain, we were known as the Chimer. We were just another race of mer eking out a living on the edge of the Inner Sea.
