so.....Yagrum ate them?

sort of makes sense i a warped cannibalistic way :shrug:

Then he said he did. So...



Why would Azura make the Dwemer come back???

That is so much cooler than the Numidium thing.


Zing.


I'll go with this, too. Yes, at the moment we deliberately have been given information to make it look like that is the case, but other writers working in Hammerfell or Skyrim may have other ideas and use the dwemer outposts there to tell another perspective of what may have happened. But now we're suggesting that preexisting ideas might not be totally true when measured up to newer ones, so we may want to duck.

But I think most of us agree, the dwemer returning would be not only too jarring but unneccessary and almost impossible to implement well.

I actually find myself liking that more than the Numidium stuff.

Now read carefully:

That sneaky snake in the grass . The two V's didn't kill him, only the mortal one. What an [censored].

With we Vivec is referring to the Tribunal, they are incriminated in Alandro's account.

Ahh...STILL! He's a sneaky talker.

It would explain the bloating and all.

If you ask why one remains, you end up with the conclusion he got corprus. Yagrum's travel through distant realms may simply be peripheral, because if he hadn't contracted corprus, then he wouldn't remain. Maybe the intent was for the reader to think about corprus, as the so called divine disease is connected with the heart of Lorkhan? Then Yagrum's race would be a lie from a previous era, if it weren't for the divine imprint emanating from Lorkhan's imprisoned heart, which has preserved the last of the Dwemer.

Plus, they're dead, as in they're woven into the myth of Tamriel itself.

Problem is, Jackfrost, is that Corpus disease came when Dagoth Ur awoke.

I think the context of the quote isn't "why has he survived all these years" but "why didn't he disappear with the rest of them"... Sotha Sil's words would be just as valid if stated before Yagrum even got corprus...

I didn't really read it that way luager, but I suppose you're right. However, corprus came before Dagoth. It is the same power that gave the Tribunal their strength, only they had the Dwemer tools to focus and reshape that energy, where Dagoth was exposed to the corprus for a long time, like Vvardenfell.

No it didn't.

Corprus does not equal power of the Heart. Corprus is a construction of Ur's. There is no piece of lore that says Corprus gave the Tribunal power.

Nazz had this to say:
Many believe that corprus was created by Dagoth Ur after he gained the power of Lorkhan's heart. I on the other hand think that corprus is in fact the gift/curse of a divine like Divayth would suggest, it is the gift of a true divine, Lorkhan.

The idea it isn't his own creation is voiced by Dagoth Ur:
I will continue to draw divine power from the Heart and distribute it to my kin and followers. I will continue to broadcast divine power upon the blight winds ...
As Luager2 pointed out, context is important, and here, Dagoth Ur was talking about his plans for corprus.

I'm very wrong to say corprus gave the Tribunal their power, that's just stupid of me, but that's not what I tried to say. I mean the corprus carries with it a stigma, because people who get it are ugly and mostly stupid, but it's still of divine origin, Dagoth Ur is only extracting it from Lorkhan's heart. On the other hand, I've read nothing to say it's his invention. His flesh? Yes, but that's a result of exposure and siphoning power from the Heart, not sorcery of his own. Maybe I'm wrong, but what the hell? It's been a while since I've discussed the origins of corprus with anyone.

I wouldn't mind exploring the Dwemer's ruins and their technology again, with the current game technology. It was fun in MW and it would be fun again.

I think it wouldn't make sense bringing them back.

I wasn't much into said theory until I realized a few things;

It fits in with what Baladas said regarding them and their study of reversing creation.

It fits in with the general elven take on creation.

And finally, I look at The Egg of Time. Written by Bthuand Mzachnch, a tonal architect seeking to better the Dwemer race, it refutes the idea that using the heart was too risky. If we assume that the reversal of creation was what Bthuand Mzachnch sought, then perhaps his only mistake was not taking into account what could happen if the process was done in a panic with an army of Chimer bent on thwarting them at their doorstep.

I think corprus is rendering the mutant unbound, hence the....tumorous growths and lesions. I mean, Lorkhan is the god of space, the Unstable Mutant, after all.

If you mean it's a mortal reaction to god radiation, then I totally agree.

Indeed. I agree.



The Blight is, though. And in my understanding, Corprus is a sort of "advanced" Blight.

has anyone noticed that the heart is like a highly radioactive object? it can be used to fuel massive things, it can be used to destroy entire races, and it gives those who come in contact a disease similar to radiation poisoning?

I just posted the Blight is man-made. The Heart doesn't naturally emit it.

That's my understanding for the most part as well.


Blight storms, or Blight, are more like the carrier for the blight diseases, these are Dagoth-made. I think they begin from the funnel cloud within the crater.

The encyclopedia does not list corprus as a Blight disease, but I agree it is one.

So corprus can qualify as a blight disease, but the diseases carried on the blight storms aren't man made, the storms are.

Am I remembering correctly that when the player character completes Morrowind's main quest, the Blight stops? I guess there will still be sandstorms, but not corprus or Blight storms. The only surviving people with corprus are probably the Nerevarine (minus the drawbacks), the remaining corprusarium inmates, and Yagrum.
