JWN926: Race-wise they're called Dunmer, but Dark Elf and Dunmer are used interchangeably. Dunmer is mostly used by the Elven races when refering to each other.
Spoonman: @Anon 2: I didn't forget, I was pointing out the player races. But if you want me to keep going-
Dwemer = Deep Elves (rarely used, refers to the "dwarves")
Chimer = Changed Ones (Daedirc worshippers)
Maormer = Tropical Elves
Aldmer = First Ones (most elves are descended from this race)
Anonymous5: @Spoonman: the Chimer don't actually exist! They're a term used to refer to the Dunmer before Azura changed their skin to punish the Tribunal and only in a context where they're being compared to the Dunmer they are now. The only exceptions to this are the Tribunal themselves, who can swap between Dunmer and Chimer form however they wish.
But before this dichotomy arose they'd have been referred to as plain Velothi.

Dunmer = Dark Elves
Altmer = High Elves
Bosmer = Wood Elves
Orsimer = Pariah Elves (rarely used, refers to Orcs)
Also, Khajiit do have barbed cocks. It's canon. I'm not saying that as a joke, go read the uncensored version of The Real Barenziah.
