Thalmor

"'Elven supremacy is the only Truth!'""- A Thalmor phrase"The Thalmor is the governing body of the Aldmeri Dominion that acts as enforcers, task handlers, and foreign relators. They have embassies in nearly all provinces of Tamriel, as part of their ongoing conquest of the continent.

The Thalmor have a tangible presence all across Tamriel - from their political influence in the Summerset Isles, Valenwood, and Elsweyr, to the embassies they maintain in the provinces just outside of their control. According to officials within the Thalmor, their primary goal is to "pacify and purify" Tamriel, and bring about a new age where mer rule over man.

Many of the other embassies and ambassadors are lesser known than those of Skyrim. In that province, the Thalmor forces are led by current First Ambassador Vardemo, who replaced the late Ambassador Elenwen following her murder.

It is unknown just how powerful the Thalmor is, but from its seemingly limitless political power and influence, combined with its formidable military might as shown during the events of the Great War, it is safe to say that the Thalmor are one of the most severe threats to mankind in all of Tamriel.

Divisions, Notable Members, and Culture
One notable Thalmor is the First Ambassador to Skyrim, Master Vardemo. He is the replacement for the late Elenwen, after her death at the hands of insurgents. Vardemo is considered to be stricter and more brutal than Elenwen was - he despises the Empire and Talos worshippers alike, and no act of "heresy" evades his watchful eyes.
