Dunmer
From TESWiki, The Elder Scrolls wiki.
Dark Elves hail from the province of Morrowind. They are tall, dark skinned people with red, glowing eyes. They are known to be extremely strong and intelligent, and very quick. Dark Elves seem innately attuned to weaving magic with weapons. They are adept in any art involving the blade and shield combined with the arcane arts. They are legendary sorcerers and warriors, with their prowess with sword and bow rivaling that of the Redguards and Bosmer, or Wood Elves.
Dark Elves are the dark skinned Elven peoples of the Eastern Empire. Dark is variously understood to mean dark skinned, gloomy, and ill favored by fate. The Dunmer and their national character embrace these various connotations with enthusiasm. In the Empire, Dark Elves is the common usage, but in their Morrowind homeland, and among their Aldmeri brethren, they call themselves Dunmer. The dark skinned, red eyed Dark Elves combine powerful intellect with strong and agile physiques, producing superior warriors and sorcerers. On the battlefield, Dark Elves are noted for their skilled and balanced integration of swordsmen, marksmen, and war wizards. In character they are grim, aloof, and reserved, distrusting and disdainful of other races. Dark Elves aren't common outside of their native province, Morrowind.
In Morrowind the main religion is the worship of the Tribunal Temple but a large number of Dunmer also worship Daedric dieties.
