The Bosmer are Elven natives of Valenwood, an Elven province in the southwestern forests of Tamriel. The Bosmer are cousins of the Altmer and Dunmer but are known to be more on the wild side compared to their cousins, they refer to themselves as "Wood Elves" or "the Tree-Sap People" suggesting their youthful energy. Bosmer prefer to live a simple existence in harmony with nature and the wild beasts that inhabit it and reject the complex traditions of their cousins. The Bosmer are witty and agile Elves and have a curious nature which gives them the ability to command simple minded creatures. They are well suited as scouts and thieves but they are best skilled in archery, they are the finest archers in all of Tamriel.
