I found something interesting about the Dwemer

Post » Sun Dec 11, 2011 2:32 pm

So i was just flicking through lore on UESP, and i found out that;

Approximately 200 years after the Oblivion Crisis, Falmer were found deep within Skyrim's Dwemer ruins by The Dovahkiin—now blind, pale creatures that more resembled goblins than elves. According to the book "The Falmer: A Study", The Dovahkiin was not the first to encounter these creatures—in fact, the book's author proposed a potential history for the Falmer explaining their current state. This history would state that the Falmer were driven into the underground preceding the death of the Snow Prince, where they sought sanctuary with the Dwemer in Blackreach—who betrayed them, making the Falmer into slaves and causing their physiological changes such as their blindness through a forced diet of toxic fungi. A war between the Dwemer and Falmer soon occurred, known as the War of The Crag, which ended with the Dwemer's disappearance. This allowed the Falmer to populate further through Blackreach and the lower levels of Dwemer ruins.

I thought it was intersting that the falmer could be a reason for the disapearence of the dwemer.

It's known what happened to the dwemer. They fooled with the power of creation and were destroyed.

From my tiny understanding of the lore, they are basicly..

Numidiums shiny skin. Or something like that.

It explains why the Falmer are seen, thank god.

I was slightly irked about seeing them at first, and then relieved when I read that book and it said they had become increasingly aggressive. It also explains why we're seeing them and not their ruins, which have NEVER been found.

I think that what was meant was, the War of the Crag raged until the Dwemer disappeared themselves via the heart of Lorkhan.

Ah, you should read it more carefully. It says one day when they came for a battle, the dwemer were gone. Plus, there are dwemer ruins throughout northern tamriel, including morrowind, where you have been, which possesses no falmer. The falmer are a mortal enemy. What the dwemer trifled with and was punished for, is beyond the concepts of mortals.

From what I've read everything about their death is simply speculation.

Edit: Okay not everything

I think I read that book yesterday, probably explains why every dwemer ruin except the Peryite one has Falmer in it.

The Dwemer wanted to ascend back into godhood. Their wish was granted when striking the Heart of Lorkhan at the conclusion of the Battle of Red Mountain merged their whole race with the Numidium. Meanwhile, back in Skyrim, the Falmer showed up to an empty battlefield and won by default.

I read the UESP lore as well. I found out about Falmer, Dwemer and many more intesting stories.
