Norenen-Dur, Bamz-Amschend, and the common Dwemer spectre

Post » Thu May 26, 2011 10:26 pm

1. Were Norenen-Dur and Bamz-Amchend both Dwemeri and Chimeri capital cities during 1E?
2. If so, why is Old Mournhold in the same level underground as the two cities?

3. How old, on average, is an ancestral ghost?
4. Dwarven Spectres did die before the whole race died, right?
5. How did they survive so long?
6. Why do the books say that nothing was left behind from the Dwemer, when in Bamz there is dust on every chair?



Thats it

1. The Dwemer were organized in a sort of city states called Free-Holds. Much like the Ayleids or the Altmer really.

2. I'd guess that one was build in the hill and the other next to the hill. Then Mournhold ontop of Old Mournhold after Mehrunes leveled it.

3. That depends on the ghost. The Dwemer ones must be over 3000 years old now.

4. It's assumed so.

5. Because they're ghosts.

6. Bamz seems to have been sealed off. Nobody was there to disturb the dust.

So when they started recording the disappearance of the dwemer, adventurers had already swiped the dust from every ruin?

And what about Norenen-Dur? you know, the daedric ruin right next the Bamz?

I'd buy some dwemer dust if I could.

Dust dust dust.

Noren is a Daedric Shrine, a big one too but its not a city. Looks like it got sealed off with the same earthquake that sealed off Bamz. The one that created the whole Inner sea for that matter.

They were probebly too busy with celebrating their victory over the Dwemer, fishing people out the water and after that had their own new gods to be interested in. It also doesn't help that the Chimer were half tribal at the time, which doesn't leave many people free to do some scholarly investigating to what happened to the Dwemer and jot everything down on paper.

But it says "The citidal of Noren-Dur"... That means that it was... Whoa, Noren was just a seige/stronghold?
Hm, I've always thought that daedric architecture was the primary Chimeri architecture.

So Bamz was a hige dwemer city/state while Noren was just a stronghold? Hm, I never did look up Citadel in the dictionary :P
