==History==
The Sinistral Elves had, at one point, formed an Empire that stretched across the entire continent of Yokuda, before the land was submerged. The Lefthand Empire was said to be four times as large as the Septim Empire.Systres History: Volume 2 Sinistral Elves are also noted to be from the previous Kalpa, along with Redguards. It is unknown whether they had a Mer name, ie, Orsimer, Falmer, Aldmer. 
For thousands of years, the Sinistral Elves were bitter enemies of the ancient Redguards, the Yokudans. During the Merethic Era, the Na-Totambu warred to a standstill to decide who would lead the charge against the Elves. The Yokudan deity Leki intervened and a leader was decided, and war was then declared on the Elves. Diagna, an avatar of the deity HoonDing, brought Orichalcum weapons to the Yokudans which were instrumental in defeating the Elves.
===Legacy===
No Sinistral Elves were reported to have reached Tamriel. Their final defeat in the Yokudan-Sinistral War and the sinking of their continent implied that the race was all but extinct. The Yokudans' hatred of the Sinistral Elves stayed with them on Tamriel, as their extermination of elven settlements in Hammerfell was also fueled by their past.Loading Screens (Online) Their descendants, the Redguards, no longer speak of them, as to recall their abominations only "serves to darken their days."
