  • Depends on the race. For example, High Elves are known to live for Hundreds, if not a thousand, years.

  • I knew that they lived for different amounts of time I just wanted to know aproximent life spans for Bosmer, Altmer, and Dunmer.

  • There's no specific life span. But you can count on all Mer living for at least 200 years if disease and violence don't end it first. There are Aldmer who have been recorded to live past 2000 years. There is a Dunmer wizard that has lived past 4000 years. Some Altmer even recall the reign of Tiber Septim, dating them over 400 years.

    I always wanted to know because Neloth in the Dragonborne DLC referances the nereverine (sorry if i butchered the spelling) as if he were around when it happened.

  • He was. Neloth is strong enough in Magick to have lived that long. In Morrowind, there was another Dunmer Mage named Divayth Fyr who is well over 4000 years old. While the Mer are known to live for hundreds/thousands of years, their strength of Magick can let them be nigh-immortal.

  • Theoretically couldn't any race do that if they were just that masterful at magick?
