The '''Aldmer''' (meaning "First Folk" or "Elder Folk") were the original [[Lore:Merethic Era|Merethic Era]] proto-mer who settled [[Lore:Summerset Isle|Summerset Isle]] and most of mainland [[Lore:Tamriel|Tamriel]]. They are often said to have been the first technologically sophisticated inhabitants of [[Lore:Nirn|Nirn]]{{Ref|name=BTAOM|{{Cite book|Before the Ages of Man}}}}, although some believe this distinction belongs to the [[Lore:Hist|Hist]]. The ancestors to the beast people, the [[Lore:Argonian|Argonian]]s and [[Lore:Khajiit|Khajiit]], existed at the time in aboriginal, preliterate communities, and were easily displaced by the more advanced Aldmer. The Aldmer allegedly came from a lost city-continent called [[Lore:Aldmeris|Aldmeris]],{{Ref|name=BTAOM}} but a number of sources, including the revered [[Lore:Elder Scrolls|Elder Scrolls]], claim that this is pure myth.{{Ref|group=OOG|[http://www.imperial-library.info/content/nu-mantia-intercept Nu-Mantia Intercept]}}

As the Aldmer spread throughout Tamriel, they evolved away from one another, physically and culturally, into the various types of [[Lore:Mer|mer]] known today. Some remained in Summerset Isle and became the [[Lore:Altmer|Altmer]].{{Ref|name=BTAOM}}{{Ref|{{Cite book|PGE|3|Summerset}}}} The first emigrants to the mainland settled in [[Lore:Valenwood|Valenwood]] and became the [[Lore:Bosmer|Bosmer]].{{Ref|{{Cite book|PGE|3|Valenwood}}}} [[Lore:Morrowind|Morrowind]] was colonized by both the [[Lore:Dwemer|Dwemer]] and later the [[Lore:Chimer|Chimer]] (forerunners of the [[Lore:Dunmer|Dunmer]]).{{Ref|name=BTAOM}} There were also the [[Lore:Ayleids|Ayleids]] of [[Lore:Cyrodiil|Cyrodiil]], the [[Lore:Snow Elf|Snow Elves]] of [[Lore:Skyrim|Skyrim]], the [[Lore:Maormer|Maormer]] of [[Lore:Pyandonea|Pyandonea]], and the [[Lore:Orc|Orcs]] or Orsimer, a group of Altmer who worshipped [[Lore:Trinimac|Trinimac]] and were transformed when he became [[Lore:Malacath|Malacath]].{{Ref|{{Cite book|The True Nature of Orcs}}}} They then migrated to the province of [[Lore:High Rock|High Rock]] and founded [[Lore:Orsinium|Orsinium]]. High Rock is also home to the [[Lore:Breton|Bretons]], mixed-blood descendants of the native [[Lore:Nede|Nedes]] and (non-Orc) Aldmeri settlers.{{Ref|{{Cite book|PGE|3|High Rock}}}}{{Ref|{{Cite book|PGE|3|All the Eras of Man}}}}

The modern Altmer are believed to resemble the original Aldmer. The Altmer today hold their ancestors in great reverence and constantly strive to emulate their ways; it has even been alleged that they selectively breed for Aldmer-like features.{{Ref|{{Cite book|PGE|1|Aldmeri Dominion}}}}

The term ''Aldmeri'' is occasionally used as a catch-all term for all elves,{{Ref|{{Cite book|PGE|1|Prologue}}}} and is also used when referring to members of the [[Lore:Aldmeri Dominion|Aldmeri Dominion]].{{Ref|Events of [[Skyrim:Skyrim|Skyrim]]}}{{FMI|dummy=}}<noinclude>
