quote Daho
Dwemer, Orismer, Chimer

Dwemer: Deep folk so if mer means elf how come dwemer are deep ones?

Chimer: Changed folk (i think)

Aldmer: Elder folk

Orsimer: Pariah Folk/Corupt Elves

Falmer: Snow Elves

Ayleid: Wild Elves/ Heartland High Elves


just for future reference

all this stuff was from UESP btw
You forgot Maormer: sea elves.

Well, firstly, I got the impression that the Wild Elves aren't around anymore. Or at least, just not around near the imperial city.

Secondly, their ruins aren't exactly the kind of place they'd live in anyway. They seem more like barrows. Burial chambers.

If I remember my Lore correctly.
Some of the Ruins would be for burial usage and prisons, the others would be their living spaces.
That is why you can find some beautiful Ruins if you find them.

I's weird that both dwarves and Ayleids both lived in underground tunnels

If my lore knowledge is still intact the majority of the wild elves gradually became the ones we know today (Bos/Dun/Alt). And the wild elves became extinct basically

No, Ayleids still do exist but are hardly seen now.

Why aren't there toilets, or baths, or sinks in Oblivion? Why does the Imperial City, the Capital of the entire Imperial Empire, have only a few citizens living there?

The Aylieds are in Cyrodiil. They're just hiding in the same closet as everything else that's missing.

Who needs toilets when they have Bravil (yes i despise bravil)

re: ugg why do they call wood elf bosmar and dark elf dunmar and high elves altmer?

I don't think Bravil is that bad. Helll, it's ugly, but Bravil was the home of my first noobish character.

I think that they should've changed the landscape quite a bit; according to Lore from previous games, Cyrodiil is supposed to be more jungle-esque than plains, hills, trees, boring.
This is just me ranting, but I would've liked to see harvestable trees, like say, where do the apples come from? Oranges?
But perhaps we should carry this over to the wishlist.

Not quite,

"And after the throne of Alinor did finally break at the feet of Men, and news of it came to the Dragon Emperor in Cyrodiil, he gathered his captains and spoke to them, saying:

"'You have suffered for me to win this throne, and I see how you hate jungle. Let me show you the power of Talos Stormcrown, born of the North, where my breath is long winter. I breathe now, in royalty, and reshape this land which is mine. I do this for you, Red Legions, for I love you.'" ~ The Many-Headed Talos

While I agree with you that Bethesda should have kept it as jungle, they didn't. MK, the person who wrote the above book, is/was/might still be (unofficial like) a writer for Bethesda. This was pretty much him saying "Sorry for the crappy version of Cyrodiil we gave you. Here's a reason why it's like that."

Well, at least they gave us an answer on that, albeit an obscure one.
