Thalmor

The Thalmor are the governing council of the high elves and sworn enemies of the Blades. The player encounters them throughout the storyline and has to deceive the justicar, Aranande, who suspects the player of being a Blade, and her elven soldiers. Thalmor members, all of whom are high elves, are racial supremacists and deem any member of the Blades as highly dangerous. In addition, they are antagonistic towards worshippers of Talos.
