Daggerfall:Breton

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

Bretons are the human descendants of the Aldmeri-Nedic Manmer of the Merethic Era and are now the inhabitants of the province of High Rock. They are united in culture and language even though they are divided politically, for High Rock is a factious region. Bretons make up the peasantry, soldiery, and magical elite of the feudal kingdoms that compete for power. Many are capable mages with innate resistance to magicka. They are known for a proficiency in abstract thinking and flamboyant customs. They are not the only ethnicity of High Rock; the Horse People of the Bjoulsae River and the Witchmen of the Reach could possibly be referred to as Bretons as well, though it would be a primarily geographic label.

The Bretons' origin can be traced to the First Era of Tamriel's history, when the Aldmer intermingled extensively with Nedic peoples. This occurred both through war and long periods of coexistence in a multiracial society. While the Aldmer maintained control of Tamriel, the Manmer lived as lower-class citizens, supporting their meric brethren. After the Aldmer lost their foothold, the remaining Manmer interbred with the controlling human races. The Bretons of modern-day Tamriel have a much-diluted meric ancestry, seen in their higher magical affinity.

Breton culture operates under the Feudal System, and their society is agrarian and hierarchical. Monarchs rule over castles and villages of half-timber houses. The cities are sprawling trade hubs.
