ESO Race: Dark Elf (2024)

Dark Elves As An ESO Race Option

Dark Elves, also known as Dunmer, are part of the Ebonheart Pact faction in The Elder Scrolls Online. This faction was created by a pack between the Dark Elf, Nord, and Argonian races. The symbol Ebonheart Pact is a dragon. The colors of the Pact are red and black.

Lore says that despite the three races hate for each other, the alliance was formed by necessity as they recognized the threat from unified enemies. Players selecting this faction will begin in Bleakrock Isle after their escape from Coldharbour.

Historial Background Of The Dark Elves

The Dark Elves are originally from Morrowind in eastern Tamriel. That homeland was invaded many times by the Nords, and others, turning the Dark Elves into seasoned warriors. They have a natural ability of all things magic and a great intellect and make skillful sorcerers.

Lore tells us that Dunmer are ash-skinned and typically red-eyed elves. ‘Dark’ to some may mean evil, but it was actually interpreted as meaning dark-skinned, or gloomy. The combination of the Dark Elf intellect and strong agile physiques produce superior warriors and sorcerers.

It is said on the battlefield, Dunmer are noted for this skill with swords, bows, and destruction magic. While others call the Dark Elves proud, ruthless, and cruel, they are grim, aloof, and reserved. They also distrust all other races.
