Playable Races include:
Altmer: Also known as High Elves, the Altmer as natives of Summerset Isle. They are blessed with extra magicka, but also have a weakness against magical attacks.
Bosmer: Wood Elves, and natives of Valenwood. The Bosmer have the ability to commune with animals and make them their allies. They are also generally skilled archers and foresters.
Dunmer: Dark Elves, and natives of Morrowind. The Dunmer have the ability to call upon the wrath of their ancestors to protect them.
Orsimer: Orcs, natives of Orsinium. Orsimer have the ability to go berserk, destroying everything that stands in their way. However, the effort leaves them exhausted and they can't maintain their rampage for long.
Imperial: Humans native to Cyrodiil. Imperials have the inherited ability to calm their enemies by speaking to them. However, it takes a very creative mind to get out of most situations, even with this ability.
Breton: Humans native to High Rock. Bretons are well known as masters of magic, having more magicka than other human races as well as a greater resistance to it.
Redguard: Human natives of Hammerfell. Redguards are known for their battle prowess due to their well-timed and handled adrenaline rushes.

Nord: Human natives of Skyrim, and descendent of the first humans ever to arrive in Tamriel. Nords are exceptionally resistant to cold--and to attacks with frost from mages--due to their frigid homeland.
Khajiit: A feline race native to Elsweyr. Khajiit have claws with which they can attack if they have no other weapons. They have the ability to gain a wild look in their eyes which can frighten their enemies away.
Argonian: A repilian race native to Black Marsh. Argonians have gills with which they can breathe underwater, and are resistant to dieases and poisons.
Non-playable races include, but are not limited to:
Dwemer: Also known as dwarves, the Dwemer inhabited all of Tamriel. They were advanced technicians and their ruins are known to be home to many automans that still continue to function. Their entire race mysteriously vanished centuries ago.
Falmer: Once known as snow elves, the Falmer were tricked by the Dwemer and left trapped underground. All this time in darkness has rendered them blind, but their other senses are acute. They are a savage and vengeful race, intent on destroying all life from the overworld.
Ayleid: High Elves who once lived in and ruled Cyrodiil. The Ayleid enslaved the lesser races and kept them under control until a human woman named Allessia began an uprising against them, eventually defeating their masters and founding an Empire of their own. Many ruins of the Ayleid can be found scattered throughout Cyrodiil's wilderness.
Dragons: Once abundant in Tamriel, the dragons have long since disappeared. Under the authority of Alduin, they had sought to enslave all mortal races. However, Alduin's defeat by three ancient Nord heroes left the race disorganized and they were one by one eliminated.
