Awesome!

Well, this part I like the best, since factions would ultimately include the powerful dynasties of Aldmeris as well, and dynastic history is my specialization! (I make up family trees on my ipad when I'm bored. Some reach terrifying sizes...)

Now, I would assume the nobles of Aldmeris would match somewhat to their geographical locations. For example: the Royal family and the Vendus Tur and Tur of central Aldmeris would be somewhat similar to the royalty of Alinor. They (the above mentioned royalty of Alinor) pride themselves greatly on their descent from the Aedra, just like the Aran of Aldmeris. Now, whether or not they practice Ceremoniarchy or base their decisions off of the Scrolls of Praxis, I don't know, but It does seem that the Altmer may be descended from the nobility of  Cularana. If so, then Central Aldmer would be the ones who have all those rules of protocol and etiquette. The "cultured" ones...

So basically, my theory is that the Aldmer from each province are the ancestors to the races of elves found in Tamriel. As such, it could make some things easier when speaking of their cultures and beliefs, given that some similarities could be brought up.

Central Aldmer - Altmer or High Elves.

Bal Cor Aldmer - Dwemer or Deep Elves.

Sancarnen Aldmer - Maomer or Sea Elves.

Mafreton Aldmer - Falmer or Snow Elves.

Elenelda Aldmer - Bosmer or Forest Elves.

Quanorin Aldmer - Orsimer or Pariah Elves.

Rynquellis Aldmer - Chimer or Changed Elves.

Fiera Aldmer - Aylied or Wild Elves.

This could all be very wrong, but I just liked it as a theory. Although, it could be argued that the Aylied's were decsended from either the Central Aldmer or the Bal Cor Aldmer, given their phisical and cultural similarities to the Altmer and their thcnological and magical advancements, similar to the Dwemer.
