Their magic is similar to the one once used by the Snow Elves to construct their temples, but at the same time unique in a sense that they're able to channel their power through a special type of magical crystals and force them to take the shape of virtually anything they wish. Their blood is supposed to be mystical, said to heal any and all wounds, diseases, curses and poisons, even those of Daedric origins, upon contact.Īlthough they too chose to live in Valenwood, and live in harmony with both the landscape and the wood elves who inhabit the province, the Eltmeri keep their distance from the various barbarian Elven clanfolk of the Western Valenwood forests. They are naturally very talented in both Restoration and Alteration schools of magic, and also gifted, though to a lesser extent, in others. Their body is always surrounded by a faint glow of which the color can be any shade of blue and yellow, most commonly golden.

To what extent this is true is not known, but they do indeed have something angelical on their appearance and abilities. Instead, they're said to have originated from the Ehlnofex race around the same time the Aldmeri did. Unlike most elves, the Eltmer race does not descend from the Aldmeri. They are viewed as sacred, almost angelical beings by the High Elves. Unlike them, though, the Eltmeri do not paint or decorate their bodies in anyway: they believe one's body and soul to be sacred, and as such are naturally contrary to necromancy, considering it to be evil and unnatural. In fact, most of the known members of this race chose to live among the Bosmer in the forest province of Valenwood due to their respect for nature and life. In a very alike way to the Wood Elves, the Eltmeri on Tamriel are known to reject the formalities of the civilized world, discarding lavish living for a life in the wilderness, among nature, the trees, and animals. Eltmer (Aldmeris, "Holy Elves"), also known as "Light Elves", hail from the legendary continent of Varlamora (Aldmeris, "Star-Wood"), said by legends to fly above the clouds.
