"On the world of Nirn, all was chaos. The only survivors of the twelve worlds of Creation were the Ehlnofey and the Hist. The Ehlnofey are the ancestors of Mer and Men. The Hist are the trees of Argonia." — The Annotated Anuad

Ehlnofey, sometimes differentiated in Old and New Ehlnofey, of the Dawn Era on Aldmeris. The term designates the groups below in the context.

[edit] The "Earth Bones"

Laws of nature, which can be manipulated to some extent.

[edit] Aedra

Remnants of the Aedra, chiefly Lorkhan, who sacrificed themselves to define the rules of nature within the Mundus.

[edit] Progenitors

The progenitors of the Aldmer and various human races. The diverse people of Tamriel become the Mer (Elves): The Dwemer (Deep Ones), the Chimer (Changed Ones), the Bosmer (Green or Forest Ones), and the Altmer (Elder or High Ones). The fracturing of the Aldmer along cultural and racial lines is the Sundering of Aldmeris, and the continent no longer exists. The other Ehlnofey became the beasts, and the humans of Nirn, who will eventually split into racial groups, including the Nedes, Nords and Tamriellic Aboriginals, as well as the Redguards of Yokuda.
