From The doctor divination card flavor text the heart is meat . The head is where the man is . One of the better flavor texts in Path of Exile . Could be relevant . <| sep |> Dude , the Germans have a fucking trauma , they always warn about the rise of fascism , for whatever reason . <| sep |> From what I understand , genetics and I say this loosely are very important to the Altmer . They believe that , as the closest descendants of the Aldmer , and by extension , the Ehlnofey , they are the prime standard for a civilizationculture . The Bosmer aren ' t impure , but they still aren ' t as gentrified as the Altmer . The Altmer don ' t hate them , they just think of them the way old white people feel about mixed race marriages . The Altmer easily tolerate the Bosmer . They may think of them as lesser , or impure , but they are very much still the ' cousin race ' of the Altmer . But the Dunmer is a very different story . When we look at the Chimeri exodus , the Aldtmer fully intended to commit genocide on the socalled heathens , and probably would have if not for Trinimac ' s transformation as well as aid from Boethia , Mefala and Azura . The Bosmer still had striking similarities to the culture and religion to the Altmer , but the DunmerChimer were different in almost every way . Different gods , and a polar basis of beliefs believing that immortality comes from accepting mortality , etc . The Aldtmer viewed the ChimerDunmer the same way Nords view the Reachmen , and the same way the Alessian Cult initially viewed the Nordic Pantheon savage heathens revering blasphemous gods and following sacrilegious teachings . Now , I don ' t think that Altmer hate the Dunmer . Individuals might act differently some with tolerance , and others with intolerance . But a Nationalistic , borderline fascist institution such as the 3 rd Aldmeri Dominion , and by extension , the Thalmor would not acknowledge , let alone tolerate the Dunmeri culture , political system , religion , or anything else that originated in Morrowind .
