Lore Friendly Race Names

Description
A simple mod that simply renames the races to their more lore friendly counterpart. High Elves become Altmer, Dark Elves become Dunmer, Wood Elves become Bosmer, and Orcs become Orsimer. The race description text is also adjusted to fit the new titles.

The only thing that bothers me about this mod, is you only included the Mer races. Beast races have they're lore names as well, but you did not include them.

I love that the Elder Scrolls world views Orcs in such a unique fashion. In most lore, like LOTR, WOW, etc, Orcs are seen as primal, bloodthirsty, raging monsters. Elder Scrolls gives Orcs a certain respect that cant be found anywhere else.

@SampsonAlec:

An Orc calls another Orc "Blood-kin", unless an orc is speaking to other races about themselves in which case they usually refer to themselves and their Blood-kin as "Orc(s)". Everyone else calls an Orc "Orc". Usually only rarely are they called by their "Official" name of Orsimer, even by other elves.

Personally, I don't blame them, since it translates to "pariah folk". That's gotta sting.

An orc calls another orc "Blood-kin", everyone else calls an orc "Orsimer"

I would love you forever and ever if you could make it compatable with the Playable Dwemer Race mod. I mean its called that but they are labelled as Deep Elves
