![]() The Khajiiti Origin story shares similarities, talking about shapeless beings which were given shape by Y'ffer (The Khajiiti spelling of Y'ffre). Others however managed to live on outside the Ouze, and became known as changelings. These "Oathbreakers" were then buried in Ouze so that they could be imprisoned and protected until the time of renewal. Eventually, these dissenters were overcome by the other Bosmer faithful to Y'ffre. ![]() According to legend, Y'ffre turned the Ooze into a kind of purgatory state for these individuals, where they would be stricken from Y'ffre's story upon death and unable to interact with any world or afterlife. More obscure legends also suggest that not all Bosmer agreed to the Green Pact, and others wished to keep their shape-shifting abilities. The forest was flourishing and primordial still, making shapeshifting a necessity. Some speak of the Ooze, the shape-shifting formlessness from which they came before the Green Pact with Y'ffre. The earliest days of the Bosmer are lost in legend. And because the Acorn might perchance have been elsewhere, thus was Green-Sap manifold and several. They did not build a Tower, they grew it, a great graht-oak whose roots sprang from a Perchance Acorn. History Origin The Boiche Elves were of the Earth Bones who most hearkened to Jephre and his greensongs. ![]() Some Bosmer have antlers which are typically glued on, although some individuals with real, magically-grown antlers can also be encountered. Their eyes have star-like pupils and they're known to file their teeth to sharp points. Wood Elves also have other unique traits, some natural and some artificial. Sexual dimorphism is present when it comes to height, as Bosmer women can grow taller than men. They're known by some to be a tall people,, despite consistently being known for their small stature. Īs elves of the wilds, the Bosmer people's appearance is said to match the life which grows in Valenwood. These "Green Pact Bosmer" are religiously carnivorous and cannibalistic, and do not harm the vegetation of Valenwood, though they are not averse to using wooden or plant-derived products created by others. ![]() Many in the forests of Valenwood follow the tenets of the Green Pact. They have many natural and unique abilities notably, they can command simple-minded creatures and have a nearly chameleon-like ability to hide in forested areas. The best archers in all of Tamriel, the Bosmer snatch and fire arrows in one continuous motion they are even rumored to have invented the bow. As a result, they outnumber all other Mer on Tamriel. Though they are considered less influential than some of their Elven brethren, the Bosmer are also relatively prone to producing offspring with 12 being considered average number of children in the family. Bosmer live two to three times as long as humans with a 200-year-old Bosmer being old and a 300-year-old Bosmer being very, very old. However, they are also a quick-witted folk, and many pursue successful careers in scholarly pursuits or trading. Their agility makes them well-suited as scouts and thieves. They are relatively nimble and quick in body compared to their more "civilized" Altmeri cousins (who often look down upon the Bosmer as unruly and naive). Bosmer rejected the stiff, formal traditions of Aldmeri high culture, preferring a more romantic, simple existence in harmony with the land and its wild beauty and creatures. In the Empire, they are often referred to as Wood Elves, but Bosmer and the Tree-Sap people is what they call themselves. The Bosmer (formerly the Boiche) are the Elven clan-folk of Valenwood, a forested province in southwestern Tamriel.
