The What is up, ladies and gentlemen?

This is the Elder Scrolls podcast.

I'm Scott here with Michael and Drew, as always.

And today we are talking all about the self-titled, cultured people, the Altma, the High Els.

Have you heard of the High Elves?

You just told it. I was going to say that.

Ah, well.

The boys from Somerset Isle, you know, they claim to be the closest descendants of the original Oldmer, basically meaning they're the

closest descendants of the gods. And we're going to see if they've got a leg to stand on when it

comes to that. I mean, in terms of their superiority, they kind of do have a leg to stand on in

terms of just raw biology, at least. Like, if you're going to pick a race to be in the

older scrolls universe you can't go too wrong picking a race that can live for hundreds of years

with you know magical prowess um and and actually even as well and if you even uh jump onto

things too like just the advantage that gives you like there's it said that said that like, you know, artists, a high off artists are the best because

they've like had a thousand years to refine their craft and like stuff like that.

The other thing too though, and I don't know how much this stacks up with current canon or

like gameplay mechanics versus whatnot, but in like Morrowind, for example, they also had, um, it's 75%

resistance to common disease, for example, because they're just that much better. You

know what I mean? They also did have weakness to magica, weakness to fire, frost and shock as well.

Speaking of which, I really want to bring that back. Like the high elves to me seem a lot more

more interesting when they have like weaknesses
