Dwemer Speculation : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

» Fri Aug 10, 2012 5:05 am

What are your thoughts on what happened to the Dwemer? Is it possible that they used an Elder Scroll to go forwards in time? It's quite a brain-racking topic. Thoughts?

Don't spoil it for him, guys.

Hint: It involves one of the side-quests at the college of Winterhold.

Hint: MK already told us, and he's not gonna repeat himself.

Here is another hint to get you started:

On the Disappearance of the Dwarves :
"It was unfashionable among the Dwemer to view their spirits as synthetic constructs three, four, or forty creational gradients below the divine. During the Dawn Era they researched the death of the Earth Bones, what we call now the laws of nature, dissecting the process of the sacred willing itself into the profane. I believe their mechanists and tonal architects discovered systematic regression techniques to perform the reverse -- that is, to create the sacred from the deaths of the profane." "As the Dwemer left no corpses or traces of conflict behind, I believe that generations of ritualistic 'anti-creations' resulted in their immediate, but foreseen removal from the Mundus. They retreated behind math, behind color, behind the active principle itself. That the Dwemer vanished during a conflict with Nerevar and the Tribunal is merely coincidence."

On http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Divine_Metaphysics or http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:The_Egg_of_Time, when you have copies of both and also http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Hanging_Gardens... "Yes, I can now translate these books. This first one is Bthuand Mzahnch's refutation of a popular theory from Nerevar's time. A few tones of Dwemer believed that using the power Lorkhan's Heart was an unjustifiable risk. "The Egg of Time" contains Bthuand's arguments against this idea, many of which are quite compelling. The next book, "Divine Metaphysics," is an explanation of how the Dwemer tried to make a new god, Anumidium, using Kagrenac's tools and the sacred tones on Lorkhan's heart."

I think I did that Winterhold quest, though it was a long time ago. The one with the crazy guy in some ice cave? And if you can piece together all the pieces then please, spoil it, I'd rather know.

Would you be more willing to help if I just said 'What happened to the Dwemer?'

This part is the key. Now, when Kagrenac used the tools, the dwarves vanished (like how whatshisface did in the College of Winterhold quest).
C'mon....you got this man.

It is the one for Arniel Gane.

All the pieces were put together a few years ago.
