history [edit ]
first Aldmeri Dominion [edit ]
Agents of the Divine Prosecution The Thalmor began as an hidden Altmeri council within the government of the Summerset Isles that was tasked with safeguarding Altmeri inheritance. With the rise of Ayrenn to the Altmeri throne and the establishment of the First Aldmeri Dominion in 2E 580, the Thalmor ‘s character was expanded to become the executive branch of the alliance, a bureaucracy that managed the Dominion ‘s daily affairs and liaised between its versatile local leaders and factions. It incorporated representatives from all three races in the Dominion ‘s territory, in ratios appropriate to their administrative abilities. The Thalmor Inner Council served as Ayrenn ‘s personal advisors, and included such notables as King Aeradan Camoran of the Bosmer and Lord Gharesh-ri of the Khajiit, angstrom well as a number of other Bosmeri and Khajiiti nobles who were included largely as figureheads. [ 1 ] [ UOL 1 ]
Some organizations that existed prior to the Thalmor being elevated into a governmental position were later controlled by, or turned into aim divisions of the Thalmor. Two examples being the ‘Fists of Thalmor ‘ [ 1 ] and the Divine Prosecution. [ 2 ]
second Aldmeri Dominion [edit ]
During the Second Aldmeri Dominion, formed in 2E 830, the Altmer reconstituted the Thalmor as the fresh governing body of Valenwood. They claimed they had the authority to create this government on behalf of a claimant to Valenwood ‘s throne, Camoran Anaxemes, whose ancestors had signed an ancient treaty with the Summerset Isles. [ 3 ] As Valenwood previously possessed no true, mix government, the Thalmor purported to maintain order in the region to uplift their Bosmer brother. In reality, the formation of the Thalmor was far from an altruistic gesture : the Altmer desired to control Valenwood because the region, along with southerly Hammerfell, harbored assorted pirate groups which had long threatened the Summerset Isles. Fed up with the constant plagiarist attacks, the Altmer hoped to secure the shores of Summerset for good by denying the pirates any dependable seaport from which to attack them. One Thalmor drawing card, Andel Crodo, wished to enforce a policy of non-intervention in non-Dominion lands, and that the decision was closely solid. The Thalmor was dissolved a short clock subsequently when Tiber Septim brought Valenwood into his empire using the overwhelm baron of the Numidium. [ 4 ]
third Aldmeri Dominion [edit ]
sometime anterior to the Oblivion Crisis in 3E 433, the Thalmor resurfaced as a radical and xenophobic political motion that espoused the absolute domination of Elves over all other Tamrielic peoples. For years they were largely ignored, but in the consequence of the Oblivion Crisis they exploited the confusion to claim credit for the salvation of the Altmeri people, which greatly enhanced their determine. [ 5 ] In 4E 22, the Thalmor overthrew the Altmeri monarchy and seized control of the Summerset Isles, renaming them Alinor. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Valenwood was brought under the Thalmor ‘s control in 4E 29, creating the Third Aldmeri Dominion, and the Elsweyr Confederacy voluntarily dissolved and reformed the ancient kingdoms of Anequina and Pelletine in 4E 115, which then became customer states of the Thalmor.

It is said that of all of his enemies, Emperor Titus Mede I never managed to defeat the Thalmor, [ 8 ] and it would be Titus Mede II who would pay the price. When Titus II inherited the Imperial throne, the Thalmor instigated the Great War in 4E 171 by delivering a series of ultimatums to the Imperial City, then presenting the fountainhead of every Blades agent who had been stationed in the Aldmeri Dominion when Titus II refused their demands. After four years of bloody war, a deadlock was reached. The emperor was forced to sign the White-Gold Concordat, basically giving in to the Thalmor ‘s original demands. One of the terms was the outlaw of the worship of Talos, and the right of the Thalmor to enforce that ban within the Empire. Another terminus of the Concordat mandated that the Empire relinquish boastfully tracts of land in southern Hammerfell to the Dominion, which outraged the Redguards and resulted in the secession of Hammerfell from the Empire. Fighting continued in Hammerfell, but the Redguards finally forced the Dominion to the negotiation table and the Second Treaty of Stros M’Kai, which stipulated that Aldmeri forces withdraw from Hammerfell, was signed in 4E 180. This led the Redguards to believe that the Concordat was a mistake, and Titus II had overestimated the Thalmor ‘s forte when he signed it .
By 4E 201, the Thalmor, well aware that Talos was particularly revered by the Nords as both a deity and a folk hero, carried out campaigns of persecution against Talos worshippers from their embassy in northwest Skyrim. It was widely believed around this time that the Thalmor were preparing for a second undertake to conquer Tamriel .
