The native of Morrowind is Dunmer -- literally 'the Dark, or Cursed People,' or 'Dark Elves' -- are the dark-skinned Elven peoples of the East. 'Dark' is variously understood to mean 'dark-skinned,' 'gloomy,' and 'ill-favored by fate.' The Dunmer and their national character embrace these various connotations enthusiastically. In the Empire, 'Dark Elves' is the common usage.
Dunmer prize the virtues of duty, gravity, and piety. Duty is to one's own honor, and to one's family and clan. Gravity is the essential seriousness of life. Life is hard, and events must be judged, endured, and reflected upon with due care and earnestness. Piety is respect for the gods, and the virtues they represent. A light, careless life is not worth living. They are proud of being dark-skinned and dark-humored. The Dunmer race produces great warriors and wizards in equal proportion.
Skill Boosts:Dunmer naturally have some skill in Long Blades, Destruction, Light Armour, Athletics, Mysticism, Marksman, and Shortblade.
Specials: Due to their volcanic native environment, Dunmer are resistant to both elemental and natural fire. Due to their tradition of ancestor worship they have the Ancestor Guardian power, allowing them to temporarily be aided by an Ancestor, increasing their evasion regardless of armour type for 2 minutes.
Languages: Aldmeris, Imperial
