Would it be in character for an Altmer to not care much for Mara’s teachings?
So I’m editing Solira’s backstory, and her father, Corelas is a Thalmor agent.
He’s really the main focus of this post, at first I didn’t give him much thought because I was so obsessed with Solira, my OC.
So Solira’s mother(who doesn’t have a name yet)is the primary reason why Solira didn’t grow up to be racist with a superiority complex like her father. Being a Priestess of Mara, she believes that the Aedra love everyone equally, regardless of race. So she taught those values to Solira in Corelas’ absence, as he mostly prioritized his work for the Thalmor over his family. He still supported them, sending money to his wife and kid, but he’d be gone for months at a time, visiting rarely.
So anyway, I was considering writing in that Corelas was unfaithful to his wife. Their marriage was arranged, as that’s a part of Altmeri culture, but Idk if that would be in character for Corelas. The Altmer do hold Mara in high regard, but tbh the Thalmor don’t seem to actually be practicing the morals taught by the Aedra anyway.
