Aldmeri Dominion is a faction in Elder Scrolls Online made up of 3 races. These races are: High Elf, Wood Elf, and Khajiit. High Elves were the first to settle in Tamriel and are great at using magic. Wood Elves are stealthy and great at using bows. They live in the forests of Valenwood. Khajiit are a cat-like race that are also stealthy and good with melee weapons.
Each race has passive skills that reflect their nature. I’ll go over each skill in detail and give tips/suggestions on play styles they are best suited for.
