Teso: The Dwemer conspiracy

People, elves, dwarfs and orcs are the classic peoples of a good fantasy story. Also in the fantastic world of The Elder Scrolls we meet you, the people, elves and orcs, and in addition, strange animal trunks. But where are the dwarves? Were there no dwarfs in Elder Scrolls, although the diligent mountain folk of craftsmen is quasi to every classical fanasy story?

The remains of Dwemer civilization can be admired in Skyrim in the Museum of Markath. This city was originally built by the Dwemern. Source: Bethesda ancient legends report that a people named Dwemer in Tamriel was lived pretty much like thousands of years ago, which was quite similar to the classic dwarf volume. Although it was technically elves (the ending mer is Aldmerisch for Eleven), the Dwemer was therefore referred to as dwarves , among other things.

This term probably plays on the size difference between the dwemers and the giants. In the fight against a giant, self-growing stretches look like mickny dwarves. The Dwemers also preferably built their cities in the immediate vicinity of a mountain or deep underground. This secluded lifestyle is finally reflected in the name of her people. Dwemer is called the depths or the secretions , all nicknames, which also match the picture of classic fantasy dwarves. The puzzle around her name does not play a major role in the history of the Dwemer. What the scholar Tamriels has been preparing for millennia headaches is the sudden disappearance of the Dwemer.

The big secret of the Dwemer

Dwemerzenturios are great mechanical constructs that the Dwemer once built the defense of their cities. These gigantic guards have survived the time and disappearance of their gentlemen. The Centurios attack both adventurers and the Falmers, who houses in the dwarf ruins today. Source: Bethesda The remains of Dwemer civilization can be admired in Skyrim in the Museum of Markath. This city was originally built by the Dwemern. Source: Bethesda A people who simply disappear from Tamriel to Tamriel overnight ... that sounds dubious, right? The story around the Dwemer and her sudden disappearance is one of the largest mysteries of the Elder Scrolls Universe; A hot topic, not just for all Lore fans, but also for the developers of Elder Scrolls online.

In an interview, Creative Director Rich Lambert revealed that the ESO design team wanted to enlighten the great mystery to the disappearance of Dwemer in the game at the beginning. However, the developers had made their invoice at that time without Todd Howard. The boss developer of Bethesda stroked the Dwemer story from the ideas list and explicitly wished that the last secrets of the Dwemer are not revealed in ESO.

Creative Director Rich Lambert said about Dwemer: We had a point in the development where we have dealt intensively with the Story of the Dwemer. Of course, everyone wants to know more about this people, and clear, we also wanted to know. Since we dug a little deeper in the story of Tamriel. Todd kindly reminded us that we will never spoil the mystery and secrets of the Dwemer. Internally, the team explores the mystery, but only that we are a good one Presentation of which could happen then.

However, this lore muzzle should not stop us to make our own assumptions for disappearing the enigmatic dwarves . With so much secretity of Howard is certainly something big behind the history of the Dwemer. To solve this exciting criminal case, we must first throw a close look at the people of the Dwemer and their culture. What makes the Dwarfs Tamriel so special and interesting?

The remains of a unique civilization

The suffering of Falmer The Falmers are malignant, disfigured creatures that protect sunlight and lively live under the earth. Almost every adventurer who wants to explore a cave, gets it sooner or later with them. If you see a falmer, it will hardly believe, but Falmers were once snow elves. This people longed a long time over the country Atmora, which is located in the far north of Tamriel. Only little is known about their original culture.

on the edge of destruction When the ancestors of the North appeared in Atmora, the snow elves yelled little attention to them. Later, however, a bloody war broke out between people and elves. Led by the mighty warrior Ysgramor, the North eventually forced the snow elves into his knees. The elven folk was just before destruction. In her desperation, the last snow elves searched the Dwemer, her distant relatives. These offered you a secure refuge in your underground cities and settlements. To seal your pact, the Dwemer demanded the snow elves that they eat a toxic mushroom. The poison fused the mind of the snow elves and made her blind. So they were completely delivered to their hosts. The Dwemers enslaved their cousins ​​and abused them for gruesome experiments or offered the Teuflische Daedra as an offer. Thus, the snow elves gradually turned into wild and primitive creatures, which we know today as Falmer. But it came, as it had to come: One day the falmers rebelled against the Dwemer and practiced revenge to their former gentlemen. Today, the Falmers claim the underground dwarf cities for themselves. Anyone who deals with the dwarf ruins of Tamriel does not come out of marvel. Most players are noticeable that the futuristic architecture and modern design of the Dwemer do not want to fit in the classic fantasy setting. Although this ancient people spoiled millennia before, the monumental cities witness to a high culture that fits better in a steampunk world than Tamriel.

Myths and legends from gray temporary report that the Dwemer were fantastic craftsmen, engineers and magicians. The greatest achievements include the spectacular steam printing machines, curious mental telephone sets, tremendous airships and the huge Dwemerzenturios patrolting to this day in the streets and streets of abandoned cities.

The mechanical colosses kill all intruders, no matter whether it is a careless adventurer or a fruitful FALMER . The sheer indestructible centurios are the best proof of the highly developed culture of the Dwemer. Given the many technical wonders who should have protected the deep elves before any disaster, their sudden disappearance seems all the most enigmatic.

The heart of Lorkhan

The Falmers did not always look like Gollum. These creatures were once snow elves, which were long ago in the catches of the Dwemer. Source: Bethesda were the Falmers responsible for the disappearance of the Dvermer? It is unclear when exactly the Falmers occupied the underground cities of the Dwemer. Antique chronicles report a rebellion of Falmers who wanted to take revenge on their tyrannical men. Although the slaves armed with arrows and sheets were hopelessly inferior to the camphorious Dwemer army, but the rebellion demanded the dwarfs in a long time. The brutal aetherium war and the war of the first council continued to kill their forces. And although the army of the Dwemer had to complain about great losses at that time, the wettenfen could hit every enemy.

The turning in the last big war came only with the battle at the Red Mountain. In this battle, the Dwemer and Chimer (this name carried the darkfil aka Dunmer before they betrayed Azura). The reason for their twist was not the aetherium ore, but the heart of Lorkhan, a mighty artifact that once discovered the weddings at the foot of the Red Mountain. The Dwemer tried to hide the heart of Lorkhan before their allies. The discovery of artifact and secret research on the Numidium did not remain long secret.

It was the divine Daedra-Princess Azura, who warned the Chimer from the dark machinations of the DwemerArchitect Kagrenac. She explained that Kagrenac experienced with the heart of Lorkhan to create a mechanical God (said Numidium). The religious Chimer feared that this monster could annoy the gods and then subject to Tamriel on behalf of the Dwemer. When the united army of the Chimer faced the gates of the ventricle to prevent this frevel, Kagrenac took his magical tools and the heart of Lorkhan for the last time. A moment later, all Dwemer disappeared from the Anatlitz Tamriel.

What happened to Kagrenac s ritual?

There are no records that report what happened exactly with Kagrenac, the heart of Lorkhan and the Dwemern. The remarkable thing about this story is that the ritual devours not only the platforms of Vvardenkell, but all dwemers throughout Tamriel. This also belonged to the legendary Rourken clan, who settled in Hammerfell at that time. It was a Dwemer group that left their homeland for a long time before the war of the First Council gene west and founded his own nation. The lofts of the Rourken-Clan rejected the alliance with the (in their eyes of fanatical and primitive) chimer and were almost no contacts with the Dwemer clans in Morrowind.

The big dispute Nerevar was a big hero of the chimer and the chosen Azuras. He wanted to convince himself that the Dwemer had committed a frevel to the gods with their work. However, the Dwemerkönig Dumac played vehemently that Kagnerac researched something forbidden. So Nerevar asked the Deadra Princess Azura for advice. She explained that it was true and the Dwemer is about to create a mechanical God. The Numidium would be a great threat to the entire planet Nirn. Azura finally wore Nerevar to destroy the mechanical monstrum. When Dumac continues to reflect the existence of the Numidium, it came to the dispute that culminated in the outbreak of the war of the First Council. The big question that many lore fans has been busy for years: what did Kagrornac with the heart? And why were those Dwemer, who lived at the other end of the world, got into this story? Everything we can currently say certainly: This disaster has something to do with the heart of Lorkhan. Let s go through the most common fan theories to the Dwemer Makeup.

The price of power

Yagrum Bagarn is the last Dwemer in Tamriel (The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrorwind). After his return, he searched for his disappeared people, but his mission remained without success today. Source: Bethesda Before we speculate about the fate of the Dwemer was said that not all Dwemers have disappeared. A Dwemer named Yagrum Bagarn has survived the catastrophe that raised his people. Yagrum can not answer the question of the whereabouts of the deep wheels themselves. When all Dwemer disappeared, he was in a different reality level, so he was physically not present in Tamriel. Bagarn, however, suspects that the gods have punished the Dwemer from jealousy. He certainly plays on the theory of opposing and the creation of the Numidium.

The Numidium was not a pair of brain, this huge machine really existed. As a war weapon in the story of Tamriel, she even played a major role. Source: Bethesda The cosmic zero sum game : The Dwemer Kagnenac was a living legend. He was not just a master architect, but also an outstanding researcher. And he was, like the remaining Dwemer, too, an atheist. The deep elves were convinced that the mortals are equal to the gods. The basis of their philosophy was that the Dwemer only had to overcome the thinking and lifestyles of a mortal to rise to a higher, God-like stage of evolution.

To underpin this world view, Kagrenac and his henchmen researches on the so-called counter-creation. The summit of this research was the machine god Numidium. Kagrenac wanted to invigorate the construct with the help of the heart and prove that the mortals are able to create even gods.

If he had succeeded, Kagnerac had proved that the Dwemer even stands over the gods (the principle applies from a higher creator). However, what the Dwemer scientist has not considered his pursuit of immortality: which price he and his people have to pay for it. One of many common theories to disappear the Dwemer says that the machine god demanded the lives of all depths, just before he awakened. Your mortal bodies became the golden skin of Numidium. This at least explains why the Rourken clan disappeared with the other dwemers. Her blood ties to the rest of the Dwemer tore them into the abyss.

The Numidium and Kagnerac s research thus serve as proof of the cosmic zero-zero-sum game. This topic is a bit complex. However, you can break down the whole thing on the simple principle equivalent exchange . If there is a winner, then it must definitely give a loser somewhere. If we look at the creation as a sum, then it is at the end for all things that exist in the universe only for a redistribution. To breathe the life of the Numidium, the Universe of Kagnerac called for an equivalent victim. Clear that there is a dwemer life not enough to bring a god. So the Numidium devoured the lives of all sofa in Tamriel. Thus Kagnerac s experiment, technically, was a complete success. However, the DwemerArchitekt could not suspect that immortality, after which he was looking for, meant the physical extinction of his people.

Arniel Gane was a magician who tried to find the secret of the Dwemer. He repeated Kagrenac s ritual and also disappeared. Source: Bethesda A less well-known fan theory states that the missile mothers are not former witches or elementals, but the result of a dwemperexperiment on snow elves. Source: Bethesda The exile in Oblivion: and there we would be at the next fan theory. Dwemers have lost their bodies in the creation of the Numidium, their souls emigrated to Kagnerac s ritual in the realm of forgetting. Thus, the depth elves actually leave the physical existence level in Tamriel and romp somewhere in Oblivion. The best hint for this is the research of the Breton Magician Arniel Gane (from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim). Arniel found the mystery of the Dwemer so fascinating that he adjusted Kagnerac s ritual in his chamber in the small frame. The magician disappeared without a trace. In the game, we can then summon Gane as shadows from Oblivion, which see some players as a proof that the Dwemer probably also disappeared somewhere in Oblivion.

Time travel and your pitfalls: It is also possible that Kagrenac failed in its last experiment and the artifact catapulted the Dwemer several millennia into the past or future. That mentions Yagrum in Morrorwind by the way. The Dwemers were a technically very advanced people. If traveled in the past, then they could easily subjugate the primitive peoples. In the future, however, the depth elves could draw from the technical knowledge of other peoples and then return even more to the present. Supposedly something similar once happened once with the legendary hero Pelinal white plank . His story, however, is one of the rather crazy in the anal by Elder Scrolls.

Considering this story that there is no tangible evidence for this theory. Maybe the deep wheels disappeared in another, we have previously unknown to us. You see that there are countless opportunities to dissolve this story. And as long as the secret is not released around the remaining of the Dwemer, the developers of Elder Scrolls are literally open to all doors in terms of Puncto Story. And who knows, maybe expecting us with Elder Scrolls 6 in the case of Dwemer an unexpected turn.
