Dark elves are ment to be arabs but from the "wewuzzer jihadist thirdwolder" side of the spectrum not the "aladdin sultan adventurer" side that redguards are.Really you can imagine dark elves as literally any third world ethnicity besides the west.

>>727828935 Bro imagine thinking artists from 2001 were spilling state secrets in an interview. They were probably high off skooma and just said "they look cool" when asked about dark elves. The lore has more depth than that – it’s intentionally ambiguous and layered with influences from real-world cultures but deliberately twisted through the TES lens. Just read the 36 Lessons and try not to have a metaphysical crisis.
