      Honestly, the orsimer ARE the most well adjusted of all the elves. The elves in TES are almost all evil bastards. The Alieyids were slavers, the Snow Elves were murderers and havent changed much beyond that in their Falmer form, the High Elves are trying to destroy the world, the Bosmer are cannibals, the Dunmer worship demons, the Dwemer were mad scientists... the Orcs are just clannish honorable warriors.

      They will eat your flesh, bones and blood if you mess with them, if you harm their homeland or threaten their folk. Otherwise they will buy from you and sell their own goods like any merchant would. Cannibalism and the wild hunt are no more than a warning to outsiders that an ant knows the leaf it cuts.

      Not gonna work especially because wood elves living outside Valenwood are likely to abandon the Green Pact. Those who may follow the pact in other provinces are zealots and we never noticed at least one in the lore as they are mentioned only in the deep forests of Valenwood. Considering the fact that ES6 is likely to occur in Hammerfell or High Rock, we are probably going to find Apostates(oathbreakers).
      Considering gameplay mechanics, it’s even worse for a follower of the Green Pact because it has to ignore alchemy almost entirely and only use animal resources, which are very limited to mix potions and poisons. And before anyone here says it’s “only the vegetation of Valenwood”, the Pact is clear when it states that Y’ffre gave them animals for all their needs, don’t harm the green. The green itself represents all the forests of Tamriel and beyond.

      @@ShortReviewerRetroGames In earlier games they were classed as goblin-Ken meaning they were related. Come Morrowind much of the games lore was rectoned including alot of Orc lore elevating them from a unplayable beast race to cursed Elves via a new origin mythos.
      It should be noted that not all of the connections were fully rectoned for example there are a few tid bits of lore that contradict the new more prominent Orcish origin lore (Topals encounters, Osh Ornim etc) so based on that you could argue that there is enough room in the Lore to still consider them Goblin-Ken if you disregard the Velothi exodus origin myth as religious propaganda or whatever.
