The term "Aldmer" is sometimes used to describe the entire Elven race, as in the "Aldmeri Dominion", or in common Elven usage, as evidenced by the entry for "Aldmer" in the Elder Scrolls of mandooTreasury. By the beginning of recorded history, they had already branched off into a number of distinct populations, among them the present-day Altmer.
Beyond Aldmeris, their first known settlements were in southwestern Tamriel, from which they eventually moved on to settle the entire continent. As is often the case with Elder Scrolls lore, many contradictory accounts concerning Aldmeris exist, with some suggesting it to be entirely mythological. Certain maps are cautious enough to exclude the mythic continent from their mappings of Nirn, while others place it to the south of Tamriel. It traces their origins first to the mythic continent of Aldmeris, noting the alternate rendering of Old Elhofney for the place. The Oblivion in-game book " Before the Ages of Man" is the most comprehensive source of their history. The Aldmer, translated as the First or Elder Folk, are thought to be the first race to appear on the world of Nirn.
