230-something Vanus Galerion. The glass changes shape because it'a a different one, by the way. Not a mistake of the artist. He's just drinking a lot.

Back with another Altmer headcanon ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
so going through the ESO Treasures list, I came across one item:
Tumblr media
Royal Masquerade Invitation A gold-filigreed invitation to the Grand Masquerade of Alinor, a High Elven event that only takes place every 150 years.
First thought is, well of course, these fuckers would host some grand party that only happens every 150 years!
But now I'm wondering how this party goes, ya know? (Let me first mention that I have considered if this Grand Masquerade is still happening in the 4th era. All I know is that the Thalmor ended the monarchy when they seized control in 4E 22, so it would no longer be a royal invite. I could see it going either way: for it, as a way to keep up traditions, or against it, for the over-decadence. Anyways-)
The arts mean a lot to Altmeri culture. I could see this being Tamriel's verison of the Met Gala, honestly. Every 150 years they see a different theme. Every mer lucky to get an invite scrambles for the best of the best for designers, jewelers - the best quality items, the rarest materials used. Every artisan Altmer dreams to be hired for this, sees this as their opportunity of a lifetime to prove their path to perfection and gain their alaxon sphere through this event! And that's if Altmer artisans are hired. I could see Altmer hiring from the mainland (but possibly hide that they were wearing a non-mer's design)
Just a fun little idea!

Trying to transliterate Leara's name into Quenya, and it somehow becomes, uh,
Lëarra
Which basically means "You Sealion!"
And I'm just, "Oh yes, this is That Sealion Woman, and she can breathe fire, as all sealions do."
If Leara, for any reason at all, needed an actual Quenya or Sindarin name for any fun Elvish shenanigans, we'll just use Calairie/Calearil, which is "Light of the Sea" in Quenya and Sindarin, and what Leara actually means.
#I mean yes she uses vilya as her spy name but that's elrond's ring (ps elrond is my favorite i wanted you to know)#and elanor is her middle name and what she used in the blades but that's just a flower which yeah leara is big on roses#BUT ELANOR IS ALSO SAM'S DAUGHTER I CAN'T DO THAT#how did lin manuel miranda get on my likes playlist wth oh it's moana cool cool#anyway#coining a name like artanis felagund for a character has made me so twitchy that i have to do languages right now or not at all#ever look at aldmeris/altmeris and quenya and sindarin side by side and go 'huh there are a lot of crossover words what's up with that?'#BUT YOU KNOW IT'S BECAUSE TOLKIEN IS THE FATHER OF ELVISH AND ANY OTHER ELF LANGUAGE IS GOING TO BORROW#it's like uh oh he'd hate this comparison but it's like tolkien elvish is latin/greek and TES elvish is english#but yeah i brought maglor's name over into aldmeris so leara needed to be taken into quenya and sindarin#it's totally not because i'm still thinking of that hypothetical Skyrim/lotr leara/glorfindel fic#okay i am but it's even more pipedreamy than leara/astarion#keeping count is going to be 50+ chapters I am a COLLEGE STUDENT i am so tired please help me#I'm going to go make cookies in the air fryer now like an unhinged feral fey faerie child#which is what i am in case you were wondering which i note you WEREN'T#ahem#oc: leara roseblade#languages#mod post#BUT NO HOLD ON i don't know ANY D&D ELVISH WHATSOEVER but they told me astarion means little star and it's his childhood name#and i am like obviously because 'ion' means 'son of' in Sindarin and can easily become a diminutive suffix#i am dangerous around languages i can tell you where any cow is from just on the name alone its madness (is it? is it madness?)#okay now i'm done

Given that Ayrenn wasn't a xenophobic isolationist piece of shit (quite the opposite) I'm rather stunned the ancestors did give her their blessing

MOST FUN ON THIS.
About 100 years before Skyrim and 98 years after Oblivion, the moons of Tamriel disappeared from the sky. This totally fucked up the Khajits cycle and was called the Void Nights:
Depending on who you ask, it ranged from everyone was born with random distribution amongst the acceptable forms... to Khajit being born abominations or stillbirths or just a general infertility.
Kirkbride said it was a "eugenics experiment" which make me think the fucking Altmeri Dominion did some magic to the moons to try and make Khajit Merific (elven) again? Crazy if true, they'd've had to be planning the war for centuries.... fucking high elves dude i stg.

vollithir, a character who has been my eyes in my current playthrough of skyrim anniversary edition. this guy kind of has me enraptured. ive been collecting an absurd amount of mushrooms so of course hes a mycologist. idk what hes doing in skyrim but whatever it is it involves fungus
hes a natural redhead but dyes his hair blonde, and an amputee on both legs below the knee but the only reason why thats not pictured here is because i am afraid of how ornate and detailed altmeri prosthetics are
kind of a stuffy, stuck up guy who thinks he knows whats best. claims to be apolitical but tends to parrot thalmor rhetoric. has never taken responsibility for his own actions. his intentions are probably good but his head is too far up his own ass to actually take initiative. he sucks and i hate him
