Nemer(Persistence Canon)

Shydes are a race of mer from the super continent of Natirth, alternatively known as Rielmer, they are a beautiful elven race and thus said to be somehow related to the Nymphs found in High Rock of Tamriel, but also closely related to the Nemer. Leading people to think that the Shydes are a mixed breed between Nymphs and Nemer.

Shydes are beautiful men and women who appear to be in their late teens throughout most of their lives, their skin is a pale white, somewhat similar to the northern human races such as Nords, but slightly lighter. They are slender, with sharp pointed ears and round eyes, due them being cathemeral life-forms, the eyes can be of mainly light colors, usually not seen among the other races of Nirn. Shydes are a race of highly magical descent, surpassing even the Altmer in magical aptitude. Shydes have tails at least half as long as their body length that end in a pointed tip of multiple various shapes, their tails grow longer to constantly match the individuals height. They however only reach to maximum of 160 cm or 5.2 ft in height for males and slightly less for females. Their hair color comes in many varieties, due to small particles within the hairs scattering colored light. Most Shydes are in excellent physical shape and are quite well-endowed. A distinctive trait is their ability to heal quickly and regenerate any body part. Shydes body cells were replaced every 80 hours and because of their regenerative abilities, Shydes can live indefinitely.

Society and culture
The Shydes have developed a very advanced and civilized culture. Art, music and literature show an unsurpassed creativity on Nirn. In terms of temperament, they are both soft spoken and gentle. They are extremely tempered to the point that they are slow to anger and have the remarkable ability to maintain their concentration without being distracted by emotional responses. Other notable personality traits include being inquisitive and creative as well as being quiet, they also looked upon monogamy as a quaint and impractical, practice. Once a Shyde decide on a course of action, they are not easily swayed from that decision. Positive emotions such as happiness, love and pleasure are very important to them, while negative ones such as anger, fear, or depression are shunned. Shydes are known to dress in wildly colorful or revealing attire. It was common to see Shydes wearing shockingly bright shades of various colors in wildly designed or skin tight clothing with bizarre color designs, patterns, and symbols. Shydes also tend to wear seductive clothing. Shydes are often stereotyped as lazy thrill-seekers, owing to their hedonistic pursuits. If anyone wasn't having a good time on Natirth, the Shydes would certainly know of it, and would do their best to correct it. In terms of governance, the Shydes make use of a highly efficient representative form of government, similar to a Senate. They tend to be lawful and organized, with little tolerance for those that operate outside the status quo. The Shydes cherish peace and is seen as one of the most peaceful species on Nirn.

Language
Shydes are known to be Multilingual, They have a language of their own, which is said to sound like Ayleid, Bosmer and faerie languages, but share no vocabulary. A language, very hard to learn by common Tamrielic races. Thus, In order to converse with the Tamrielic races they have acquired the knowledge of their languages especially the shared language, Tamrielic. But some are known to have learned Aldmeris and others yet study the elder languages of the Ehlnofex. They have also gone to great lengths in order to maintain the knowledge of one of the hardest languages on Nirn, the languge of their distant cousins, Nemeri.

The Shydes interest in languages however, does not stop there as some Shydes have copied the writings written in elder scrolls attempting to learn what they call the "Elder language", some even claim to be fluent in it.

Technology
They had developed a reputation for being one of the most skilled designers on Nirn. This partly stemmed from the fact that they saw everything as a work of art rather than being a simple tool or weapon.Their technology was notable for being unique, yet comparable to that of the other races of Nrin. While their ships were significantly different from those of other races, they were in fact more efficient in design. However, such vessels tended to be extremely difficult to construct.
