Shadow Elves are the dark-skinned Elven peoples of the Eastern Empire. "Shadow" is variously understood to mean "dark-skinned," "gloomy," and "ill-favored by fate." The Dunmer and their national character embrace these various connotations with enthusiasm. In the Empire, "Shadow Elves" is the common usage, but in their Morroshire homeland, and among their Aldmeri brethren, they call themselves the "Dunmer". The dark-skinned, red-eyed Shadow Elves combine powerful intellect with strong and agile physiques, producing superior warriors and sorcerers. On the battlefield, Shadow Elves are noted for their skilled and balanced integration of swordsmen, marksmen, and war wizards. In character, they are grim, aloof, and reserved, distrusting and disdainful of other races.
