Which Tamriel race could represent Slavic people? Searching some information online, I see that people mostly consider Nords as having some slavic elements, but others also include orks, although I see orks more as mongol - central asian barbarians.

Colovian culture has interesting Pseudo-Slavic elements, like personal names (Rislav Larich is typical example) and even city names (Skingrad).

Other question is, considering I'm slavic, 6'4'' tall, muscular, light brown hair and pale, which tamriel race could I fit the best? I always go for nords but I don't see myself as typical viking type.

Bretons are probably the most blatantly European faction in the lore, and I would guess that a Breton from a colder part of High Rock would be the closest to Slav.

Bretons aren't even totally human, to be fair. I think of them more as mexicans or maybe mongolized euro-

They really are the Slavs

Bretons are the laziest cop-out of a race in this setting.

I could see them do a Russian aristocracy thing with the Bretons if they wanted to make them a bit less generic french-y, and maybe make the Reachmen more slavic and less Celtic along the way

Imperials.

Colovians, as you mentioned, to be exact. I think the Colovians are meant to represent the Rus. Colovians are Imperials who have more Nord ancestry than others, and cling more to Nordic type activities, sailing, mercenary work, etc, which sounds a lot like the Kievan Rus, descendants of Scandinavians who settled in Slavic lands.

I always thought Orcs were Huns or Mongols too

Bretons are French.

Their mixed ancestry is kind of like how the French are a mix of the Franks, the Romans, and the Gauls.

Bretons are Britons you ignorant shit. Colovians are slavs.
