Info The Races of The Elder Scrolls

[Majir-Dar]

Imga
- The beastfolk of Valenwood. They see the Altmeri as their immediate racial superiors and idolize them. They are known to imitate the Altmer by wearing capes, practice dueling swords, and attempt to speak perfectly despite their natural gravely voice. The Imga live with the Bosmer and are known to inhabit abandoned human trading posts left there during the 2nd Empire. Each Imga holds a title when addressing the Thalmor, even though there are no land owning Imga. The Imga feel that humans are beneath them and pretend their smell is repulsive. The Imga will hold perfumed corners of their capes against their noses when in the company of a human.

Orsimer
- The Orcs come from the Wrothgarian Mountains, Dragontail Mountains, and Orsinium. Orcs used to be considered goblin-kin but have slowly won acceptance in the Empire. They are prized within the legion as smiths and warriors. The Orcs were created when Boethiah ate the Aldmeri god Trinimac. Trinimac turned into Malacath and his followers were transformed into the Orcs you see today. Traditional Orcish society revolves around the worship of Malacath and Stronghold Settlements. Only Orc Chiefts are permitted to marry and mate in Strongholds. Orcish men and women are expected to make the Stronghold stronger and when their usefulness has dried up they are expected to die in battle. Some Orcs, however, want to escape the simple life of the Stronghold and do so by joining the Legion or going to a city. Those that do are called city Orcs and are generally looked down upon by Stronghold Orcs.
