Its been a while since I brushed up on my tamerilic lore so some of my information may be incorrect, but please tell me your views(i.e. revisions, corrections, and general comments pn what you think.)

The dwemer, or dwarves for those unfamiliar, died at the battle of red mountain, with the exception of a few mainly the man in the corpusarium. I do not believe however that there are none left. The first reason being that people adventure so why not hace dwemer traveling across Nirn. Another scenario involving dwemer movement is that they moved for more resources. I think it would be a great expansion or another game if dwemer who were hiding from the battle(women and children) or those who have been traveling return to tamriel.

Think of the possibilities this could offer.
1. Big new event = dawning of the fourth age
2. New technologies, how awesome would it be for a simple railway system. This could work for heists fast travel and well numerous other missions. (also lay down land mines like the ones from tribunal. that would add some interesting gameplay.)
3. Play as a dwemer. A race that is as tall as bosmer, but with intelligence and strength.

This mod could add into morrowind or simply have the dwemer returning all around tamriel. Why not have them build in mines and recover ore and then have a dwemer civilization.

I think this is a great idea and it does seem possible just think of the dwemer form morrowinds main quest.

Did you not play Morrowind? A good deal of Mages Guild and Telvanni quests had to do with retrieving Dwemeri artifacts. There is a great deal of study relating to the Dwemer going on, it's just that nobody knows how to use their machines or in many cases even what their purpose was. There is one account in Morrowind of a Spider Centurion being taken from Vvardenfell to the mainland that stopped moving after they reached a certain point, only to start moving again when the captain got the idea to turn the ship around.

We don't know for sure Dwemer were destroyed, as they did not leave corpses behind, yet they left ghosts behind.

Then why does Sermon Zero (I think?) say that they were flung into Oblivion? I'm not really contesting what you're saying, but am somewhat annoyed that a piece of lore is technically wrong.

As such an unattributed riddle book, never the less, there are some interesting hidden things referenced in Sermon Zero.

The Nedes "evolved" and sorta "melded" into modern humans, I'm sure. Didn't they "meld" so to speak with Nords from Atmora?

You make racial mixing sound positively exotic.

Dwemeri technology isn't simply machines and math; it's also the knowledge of how to break Earthbones and channel divine powers into the profane. Only they knew how to do such things. Yagrum Bagarn might be able to teach it, but he has refused, even going so far as to hide Kagrenac's journal so that their ways could not be learned again.

However, the Battle of Red Mountain threw their plans into disarray. Kagrenac, desperate to save his work, his people, and his god, created the Spirit as the battle was lost to them; Yagrum returned to find Numidium claimed by the Tribunal, to be disassembled, the gestalt of Dwemeri spirits still asleep. So Yagrum wandered for three millennium, perhaps searching for a way to free his people. When he returned to Red Mountain, however, he was struck down by Corprus. By the time the Nerevarine came with the Tools, it was already too late to save Numidium, and so he attempted to stop the evil that had stemmed from their lost works.

1. What happened to the "remains" of the Numidium?
2. I can't for the life of me remember where Yagrum went, so where was it? Could other Dwemeri have been away as well?
3. Where is Kagrenac's journal and can it be retrieved?

1. Vivec gave it to Tiber Septim, where it was eventually destroyed...
2. He was in the "Outer Realms". Unlikely, Vivec says that he can't sense them
3. It is in Endusal and yes it can be retrieved, you can also find it at http://www.imperial-library.info/mwbooks/kagrenacs_journal.shtml

About Vivec not being able to sense them. Did Vivec sense Yagrum Bagarn, or did he sense no Dwemer?

"I have no idea what happened to the Dwemer. I have no sense of them in the timeless divine world outside of mortal time. And, in fact, if I did believe they existed, I would be in no hurry to make contact with them. They may, with some justice, hold the Dunmer race responsible for their fate. My intuition is that they are gone forever -- and that is perfectly fine with me."--Vivec

He doesn't mention Yagrum, but that may very well be because he's aware you know about Yagrum and doesn't feel the need to point out something you're already aware of...


Also, wow, talk about an old thread - but hey, you're the OP, do as you like.

This makes me think that Vivec might be a little racist, or at least biased toward the Dunmer. All I am suggesting is that since he is the god of the Dunmer he wants them to be safe so that he can continue to be worshiped. It is possible that Vivec does in fact sense the Dwemer, but is simply lying in order to keep his position as God of the Dunmer. Maybe Vivec's disappearance during the Oblivion crisis was so that he might seek out the Dwemer for their more technological approach to Nirn so that they might help fight the daedra, which Vivec knows of the Dwemer have a hatred.
