Lore:Chimer

"Boethiah showed them the lies of the et'Ada, the Aedra, and told them Trinimac was the biggest liar of all, saying all this with Trinimac's voice! Boethiah told the mass before him the Tri-Angled Truth. He showed them, with Mephala, the rules of Psijic Endeavor. He taught them how to build Houses, and what items they needed to bury in the Corners. He demonstrated the right way to wear their skin. He performed the way to walk to achieve an Exodus. Then Boethiah relieved himself of Trinimac right there on the ground before them to prove all the things he said were the truth. It was easy then for his new people to become the Changed Ones." - The Changed Ones

The Chimer (changed folk or Changed Ones) are an extinct race of Mer that followed Boethiah, Prince of Plots. The Chimer were of average height with radiant gold skin and yellow eyes. Guided by the prophet Veloth, they left their Aldmeri home of Summerset Isle, and migrated to the land of Dwemereth, later known as Resdayn and Morrowind.

After the War of the First Council, during which the Dwemer vanished under mysterious circumstances, they were transformed into Dunmer by the Daedric goddess Azura as punishment when the Tribunal broke the oath to Nerevar and Azura by using Kagrenac's Tools on the Heart of Lorkhan to tap into the Divine.

It is assumed that the Tribunal used divine energies to change their appearance, which explains why they did not appear as Dunmer.

Vivec, Sotha Sil, Almalexia, and Dagoth Ur may have been the last living Chimer.
