The O '''Thalmor''' is the combined government of the third [[Lore:Aldmeri Dominion|Aldmeri Dominion]], and according to [[Skyrim:Ondolemar|Ondolemar]] represents an alliance between [[Skyrim:Altmer|Altmer]] and [[Skyrim:Bosmer|Bosmer]] regents. A militarist regime founded on beliefs of racial supremacy, the Thalmor seek to advance their power and influence across [[Lore:Tamriel|Tamriel]] with the specific intent of establishing the racial superiority of [[Lore:Mer|Mer]] over Man, "''one century at a time''". In [[Lore:Skyrim|Skyrim]], they maintain an [[Skyrim:Thalmor Embassy|embassy]] in the mountains overlooking [[Skyrim:Solitude|Solitude]], are in control of [[Skyrim:Northwatch Keep|Northwatch Keep]] (used as a covert detainment center for their political prisoners), and have an [[Skyrim:Thalmor Headquarters|unused building]] set aside for them by the [[Lore:Third Empire|Empire]] within Solitude's city walls. Thalmor Justiciars can be found traveling the roads, sometimes with a [[Lore:Nord|Nord]] prisoner in tow, and engaging any [[Skyrim:Stormcloaks|Stormcloaks]] they see in combat. While not immediately hostile to you, conversing with them will reveal their antagonistic nature and choosing certain dialogue options (particularly on the topic of [[Lore:Talos|Talos]] worship) can turn them hostile toward you. Thalmor death squads may also [[Skyrim:World Interactions#Thalmor vs Player|track you down]] in the wilds, proclaiming "''Behold the future! Behold the Thalmor!''" as they attack.
