Dwemer race

Post » Tue Dec 13, 2011 10:00 pm

Their architecture is absolutely beautiful. Dwemer ruins are one on the nicest locations in the game. Dwemer heavy armor is the nicest armor in the game in my opinion, even when its weaker armor I cant stop using it. Would be awesome If Bethesda made DLC where dwarves would have appeared again. They dissapeared right? So maybe there's some hidden dwarven town somewhere under the surface or something :) I'd love that.

Same they should make a gate to where ever the Dwemer disappeared to.

I could be wrong, but I think they were cursed with a disease that killed them off? I don't know for sure, but it would be cool if they could bend lore for it to work for them to come back.

The Last Known Dwemer is Yagrum Bagarn, who was in the ''Outer Realms'' when the race left.

The Dwemer left forever, and I doubt they'll be coming back. And if they did the mystery would be lost.

The Dwemer didn't dissapear to anywhere, they are non-existent; there are no Dwemer any more (except for one in morrowind, but it's complicated with him, I don't fully understand it. I doubt we could find a secret Dwemer town underground, but I agree that I love Dwemer architecture and the designs of their dungeons. What I really want to see is some non-hostile Falmer. They must have some kind of sentience to plan attacks on caravans, and build all those things they build.

P.S. even if we did find Dwemer, I doubt we would understand their language; in my understanding they had very little contact with other mer and men.

They had a fair bit of contact iirc. They just tended to keep to themselves unless it was beneficial to do otherwise.
There are bits of lore stating the allied with and warred with other nations.

Its not known what has actually happened to the dwemer. You here theories and stuff though people in the games, mainly morrowind that suggest certain things, but nobody living knows. The last surviving Dwemer - or so he thinks anyway says he has a theory that the dwemer were trying to reach divinity by unlocking the power of the god Lorkhan's heart. In doing so the entire dwemer race were displaced as a whole, he thinks to an outer realm - meaning like oblivion or shivering isles, other then that theres not much details to where they have gone.

Dwemer Language is readable, IIRC. Many books have translated their laws, at least in Skyrim.

And also IIRC is that that the Dwemer had some sort of Telepathy that allowed them to hear everything others of their race could. So it's possible that their Master, Kagrenac, called them and tried an experiment.

Also possible is that somehow they were reduced to ash. This means either they all died or transcended human form.

It is known what happened to the Dwemer, devs explained it after Morrowind.

Basically Kagrenac struck the heart and the entire race (except for Yagrum) was absorbed into Numidium.
They were to be its golden skin, the golden mean between the mundane and the divine.
Something went wrong however and Numidium did not activate, as it was supposed to.

I think theres a side quest in the mages colleage that tells you all about what happened to the Dwemer i think you get it from reading a book in the libary not to sure but i can remember an old post on here from someone saying they created a super weapon which wiped them all out in skyrim.
Its the same lore book that explains that the Dwemer are infact another type of eleven race and not dwarves it was because of a giant standing next to a dwemer and being so big he called them dwarves.

That explains the ash piles, oh well.

Also, can you give me your source? I'd like to read into it in detail.

This is interesting.

The Imperial Library is made by the developers? That's something new.

The Imperial Library is where things like these are stored.
What is posted on this forum has the tendency to fall off it. Forum gets purged every now and then and we have also had a few complete forum changes, where everything started from scratch.

Developers often explain things using an in-game voice, and it then gets printed on the lore forum.
These things are then copied and stored on the Imperial Library.

The Imperial Library collects and stores all information about Elder Scrolls.
In-game books, dev texts from the forum, that sort of thing.

Technically its a collection made by fans, but the rules and regulations as to what goes up there ensure that it is the most reliable source of TES info out there.
