My point being unclear and held literal explains alot about yourself...

In the other Dwemer thread I posted a short-short about how I think things went, including the last individuated thought of Kagrenac. It's not 100% accurate, of course, in terms of detail and suchlike but it is basically a "plain-speech" tale of my interpretation of the final moments of the Dwemer as individual mer.

I feel bad if the entire race wasn't on board with the whole "now we're skin" thing...hopefully the Thalmor end up as skin soon enough

The Dwemer were freaks. They didnt like individuality and tried to all morph back together.

We could probably tie that into how other Aldmer dislike creation and are trying to morph back into Dawn Spirits if we had the time or patience to do so, only the Dwemer wanted to become a single god over/in a pre-made creation.

So if they ALL destroyed themselves, what about that one that was left?

I thought there was a dwarf left in Morrowind? (Sorry if this was talked about already. Didn't want to read all 3 pages of the thread)

Talked about a thousand thousand times. Yagrum Bagarn was in "an outer realm." Nobody knows if this was coincidence or if he was sent there to basically start the car/stompyrobot and then got the corprus and lost those memories.

Is this theory that they 'wiped themselves from history' a fact, or just a theory?

That assumes that what they did actually worked. (partially)

Well the thing is, the Numidium works. It was used by Tiber Septim and others, so that means that the process was sound. They succeeded to a limited degree if that was their intent. After that, though, they were basically stuck until exactly what I think they did not want happens.

See, the "atheist Dwemer" idea is basically incorrect. Even "naytheist" is pretty inaccurate. "Intended self-theists" is, if I am right, the closest linguistic anolog. They knew there were gods, but they did not trust them to get godding right. So, using the philosophy of "if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself," they tried to become a single race-wide god (it's unclear if this was a widespread hope of if Kagrenac basically divinity-[censored] his entire race). Then they did, broadly, succeed in becoming a god, but now they are stuck under the direct control of non-Dwemer individuals. It's my thought that Kagrenac intended to be the leading intelligence in this new being, but of course that is entirely speculation and cannot be proven.
