Как понимать "не альтмеры, но высокие эльфы"? "Высокий эльф" - это вообще-то и есть буквальный перевод слова "альтмер".

Айлейды это тоже высокие эльфы.

Из TESO известно что Диренни не альтмеры,но высокие эльфы.

Айлейды,альтмеры,Диренни они все высокие эльфы.

Выходит что Саммерсетские альдмеры раскололись на три ветви высоких эльфов.

Позже от альтмеров отпочковались киммеры и орсимеры.

Но фалмеры непохожи на своих златокожих братьев,а болие схожи с маормерами.

От куда могло взяться такое сходство?

Маомеры уничтожали айлейдов в Валенвуде,но босмеров не трогали.

То есть босмеры не имеют отношения к златокожим ребятам?

Бретонцы - это никакие не полуэльфы, как и написано в приведённой тобой цитате: "their Elven blood became more diluted". Начинали они как полуэльфы (манмеры), но со временем человеческой крови в них стало столько, что в нынешнем Тамриэле их считают обыкновенными людьми.

The inevitable Half-Elven offspring from these liaisons were not adopted into the families of their Direnni parents, being considered sub-Mer, but were nonetheless often given privileged positions among the subject Nedes. Over time, this led to the establishment of a recognized caste of mixed-blood humans, who were given the name "Bretons" (from the Ehlnofex "beratu," or "half").

У ненавистников Киркбрайда случится сердечный приступ от ТЕСО. Ещё одна книга про Башню:

Tower of Adamant

Её же перевели черти когда

Башня из адамантина

Автор: Хрерм Домостроитель, Коллегия бардов Солитьюда

Во всём Скайриме только лишь Высокий Хротгар может сравниться с башней Диренни по высоте. Но в отличие от этой знаменитой горы, которую создала природа, башня рукотворна, причём, если верить легендам, её возвели не люди или эльфы, а сами аэдра.

Эта величественная и непоколебимая башня стоит ещё с начала времён. Она располагается на возвышенности посреди острова Балфиера в заливе Илиак. За долговечный материал, из которого она построена, её называют Адамантиновой башней, а за то, что она предшествовала всем другим постройкам в Мундусе, её называют Первоначальной.

Высокие эльфы клана Диренни правили Балфиерой с начала Первой эры. В просторечии Адамантиновую башню порой называют башней Диренни, хотя эльфы этого клана причастны только лишь к постройке цитадели у её основания. (Кто же обустроил катакомбы под этой цитаделью, до сих пор является предметом научных споров.)

Минуя высоких эльфов Алинора (да и кто принимал их мнение в расчёт в этом вопросе?), я обратился к старейшине клана Диренни, благородному Кройдену, и он снизошёл до ответа. По его словам, Адамантиновая башня была возведена в эру Рассвета: в ней собрались боги, чтобы распорядиться судьбой Мундуса. На вершине этой башни великий альдмерский бог Ауриэль убил Лорхана-обманщика, насадил его сердце на стрелу и выстрелил ей через весь свет.

Аэдра отошли от дел, связанных с Мундусом, и оставили башню пустовать. Впоследствии её обнаружили и присвоили эльфы Диренни. Какие тайны этой башни им открылись? Что они скрывают по сей день? Что бы там ни было, мне, простому нордскому архитектору, эльфы не раскрыли своих секретов.

Но я совершенно уверен, что им есть, что скрывать. Я сделал несколько измерений, прикинув угол зрения под прямым углом к компасу. Приняв во внимание все возможные характеристики существующих строительных материалов, я пришёл к выводу, что построить такую башню попросту невозможно.

Диренни пытаются воздействовать на Башню ,но увы.

Because we cannot solve the mystery of the Zero Stone, and use it to open the Argent Aperture which it wards.

At maturity, every Direnni of high blood is brought into the Tower, conducted to the Foundation Vault, and shown the Zero Stone. We are allowed to touch it—once—so as to feel the transcendent mystical power that courses through it, a power we have never been able to tap. And we are shown the Argent Aperture in the adjacent metallic wall, that door with its lock of thirteen slowly counter-rotating rings, a portal we have never been able to open.

And we console ourselves that if we Direnni have never been able to siphon the Stone or unlock the Aperture, well then certainly, neither could anyone else. We return to the world above, and we do something spectacular—so we will not have to face our failure.

But once, as our lives near their ends, each of us gathers together all our knowledge, the fruits of all our achievements, and once more makes that descent to the Foundation Vault. To try it. Just once.

Most are found within a day or two, dead and horribly distorted. Some, like my darling Heron, live on though terribly disfigured, too brain-blasted to understand what has happened to them.

Me? I keep to our chambers in the Tourmaline Steeple, caring for Heron by day, and translating Ayleid tomes in the library by night. And it's a good enough life, too.

Though sometimes, when working on an ancient grimoire or librus magus I question whether the arcane writings of our long-lost cousins are not better left a mystery.

But then I think, is not all knowledge useful for something? And I think, what might this knowledge be useful for?

And I think I might take that long walk downstairs.

Just once.

Не мультипости. Первое предупреждение. Scarab-Framer.

Ну всё, теперь бретонцев окончательно будут путать с манмерами. Спасибо, ТЕСО. Вместо того, чтобы расставить точки над "И", нужно ещё больше запутать школоту.

Бретоны это полу-эльфы и потомки полу-эльфов.

The Breton caste was only allowed to marry humans, so over time their Elven blood became more diluted, and the Nedic appearance predominated.

Диренни имеют странную для эльфов культуру.Они не порабощали людей ,а стали строить феодализм в Хай Роке и заводить людские гаремы.

Диренни действительно разгромили редгардов в 907 году.

Потомок эльфа и человека не признавался членом Клана,а становился бретоном.Бретон это привилегированная каста людей

в Гегемонии Диренни.

The Bretons: Mongrels or Paragons?

By Phrastus of Elinhir

That Men and Mer can interbreed has been known since the first humans began arriving on the shores of Tamriel in the middle of the Merethic Era. However, broad intermingling of Elves and humans only occurred in the far northwest of the continent, giving rise to the race of Men known as the Bretons. Given the history of conflict between humans and the children of Aldmeris elsewhere in Tamriel, how and why did this intermingling occur in High Rock?

The answer lies in the peculiar (for Elves) culture of Clan Direnni, the once-dominant Mer of northwest Tamriel. In contrast to the Ayleids of Cyrodiil, who brutally enslaved any humans they came into contact with, the Direnni simply conquered their local Nedes and then ruled them as a caste of nobility. The aristocratic Elves established a system of feudal vassalage over their human subjects, with rights and privileges that included the "Perquisite of Coition" with any human they desired. Sex with attractive Nedes was considered casual recreation, and Direnni nobles competed to have stables of the most desirable human subjects.

The inevitable Half-Elven offspring from these liaisons were not adopted into the families of their Direnni parents, being considered sub-Mer, but were nonetheless often given privileged positions among the subject Nedes. Over time, this led to the establishment of a recognized caste of mixed-blood humans, who were given the name "Bretons" (from the Ehlnofex "beratu," or "half"). The Breton caste was only allowed to marry humans, so over time their Elven blood became more diluted, and the Nedic appearance predominated.

Though they wielded great power for a time in the First Era, even then the Elves of Clan Direnni were never numerous, and as their geographical hegemony expanded administration and rulership was increasingly handed off to the Breton caste. After defeating the invading Alessian Horde in 1E 482 Clan Direnni was scattered and effectively exhausted. As the Elves retreated to central High Rock, then finally Balfiera Isle, the Bretons stepped easily into their shoes, assuming the feudal hierarchy established by the Direnni and simply replacing them with their own noble families.

The Breton nobles, who had been forced to differentiate themselves from the Direnni part of their heritage, justified their new ascension by distancing themselves from Elves and everything Elven—ironically so, as the Elven blood ran strongest in the older noble families. The Direnni were increasingly vilified by their former vassals, and the island clan became ever more insular and isolationist. However, they were still known as powerful magicians, and they were strong enough to repel an attempted Redguard invasion in 1E 907.

The Bretons continued redefining themselves, inventing a myth of a history of noble resistance to Direnni rule, and developing a thriving merchant class that began trading around the coasts of Tamriel. By the time the Empress Hestra and her legions arrived at Bangkorai Pass in 1E 1029, they were ready to join the Empire of Men and embrace the Eight Divines. Under the Remans, High Rock was possibly the most stable and prosperous province in the Second Empire.

Which brings us back to the (deliberately provocative) question of our title: are the Bretons then mongrels, or paragons? The answer, of course, is both (though if you call a Breton a mongrel, he is liable to feed you an inch or two of steel). The passionate race of Bretons embodies the strengths of both Men and Mer—as well as their flaws.

Королева Доминиона лишь марионетка Диренни.

While a long search was begun, in truth, Her Majesty had claimed her own destiny. Her Majesty had stolen away to the Isle of Balfiera, to live with the Direnni at the Adamant Tower. The members of that clan trained her in the art of war. They turned her simple noble swordplay to lithe and seasoned blade-dancing. Her beachside rides became forced marches on horseback, and her singing of sonnets beneath the trees of her homeland gave way to the study of the arts most arcane.

А Диренни не альтмеры лол,но их признает Доминион.

http://esohead.com/books/897-crimes-of-the-daggerfall-covenant

By Aicantar of Shimmerene, Sapiarch of Indoctrination

The kingdoms of the Daggerfall Covenant are inhabited by mongrel upstarts who have cruelly suppressed our Direnni cousins: the High Elves who are the rightful rulers of northwest Tamriel. They were largely complicit in the rise of the dangerous and genocidal fanatics known as the Alessian Order. They allow their pirates to prey on Aldmeri shipping. The Bretons are also so indiscriminate that they have accepted the bestial Orsimer as allies. (Orsimer! Can you imagine?) Though capable of mustering substantial brute force, there is no evidence that these degraded hybrids have the wisdom or learning to deal with the mystical disaster now threatening the Mundus. They must be disciplined and subdued as rapidly as possible, so the Dominion can get on with the business of saving the world … and protecting it in the future.

Диренни самый жесткий и брутальный клан альтмеров.

Вынесли Орсинум и флот Ра Гарда

Once

By Beredalmo the Signifier

Once, we were great.

Once, our battlereeves were masters of warfare, and our sapiarchs were wise and learned. Once, we ruled all High Rock from the Eltheric Ocean to the mountains of Wrothgar, and the Nedes were our thralls and concubines.

Once, Direnni Cygnus, the Swan of Tyrigel, discovered Balfiera and its Tower and claimed it for her own, decreeing that all of her clan who came after would bear her name.

Once, the art of Alchemy was all but undefined, until Asliel Direnni compiled his "Compendious Almanac of Reagents," and was invited to join the first Psijics on Artaeum.

Once, before Raven Direnni and her "Rules of Eldritch Binding," all Enchanting was unique, and enchantments failed nineteen times out of twenty.

Once, during the Alessian Reforms, Ryan Direnni stood up to the entire Empire. His Breton Legions, armed and commanded by Direnni Elves, controlled all the land as far east as Markarth and Elinhir. The Orc-hold of Orsinium has been sacked many times, but we Direnni sacked it first.

Once, at the Battle of Glenumbria Moors, Aiden Direnni's vastly outnumbered troops routed the entire Alessian Horde, then chased them back to Cyrodiil.

Once, before Corvus Direnni codified the rules of Conjuration, every summoning of even a minor Daedra was an act to be feared and avoided.

Once, Peregrine Direnni drove an entire Ra Gada flotilla back to Sentinel by merging her very will with the waves of the Iliac Bay.

Once, in a single day, Pelladil Direnni built Blackrose Prison from the scattered rubble of Lilmothiit ruins by summoning an army of Stone Atronachs.

Yes, we were great once. But no matter what our individual achievements, every Direnni since Cygnus has been eaten from within by failure.
