  • Skyrim and indeed the entire Elder Scrolls universe have long harbored many mysteries, however perhaps the greatest mystery in Elder Scrolls history is whatever happened to the Dwemer. The Dwemer, were of course a society of increadibly gifted elve native to modern day Skyrim and Morrowind who mysteriously vanished in the 700s of the First Era. In today's video we'll explore the theory that they very likely survived their disappearances and that the Dwemer are still out there somewhere in The Elder Scrolls universe.

    Note: The Dark Elves weren’t really around back in the day, the we’re actually called “The Chimer” back then. I had a big 7-minute tangent explaining that but cut it from the script!

      So I'm gonna piss you off with this one but: The Dwemmer never actually made Air Ships. First thing we have that actually quallifies was made by Louis Beauchamp, a breton in Morrowind the Blood Moon Expansion... but canonically I can't find any evidence or even references to the Dwemmer building or using Air Ships.

    In regards to the snow elves, the Dwemer paragraph refers to “sent our machines against your enemies, to thereby take you under”. There is a clear separation between the Dwarves and the Snow Elves, as they talk about ‘our machines’ and ‘your enemies’. This implies that the Dwarves and the Snow Elves weren’t working together from the Dwarves perspective. Also, the phrase ‘take you under’ implies that the Dwarves were planning on possessing the Snow Elves from the beginning, as they take them, not bring, welcome or invite them. I think that the Dwarves realised that they could use the Snow Elves for their own means, be it experiments or as workers, and saw the humans purge against the Snow elves as an opportunity to pretend to come to the Snow Elves rescue and then exploit them later. The Dwarves were only fighting the humans so that they could have the Snow Elves, not because they felt bad for the Snow Elves, or that they were related species especially given that the Dwarves don’t have or believe in emotions.

      i think the plane of oblivion transporter makes the most sense. especially since deadra give out dwemer tech to the player.
      but i don't think the dwemer made it as gods per-say, although they may live forever within the plane of oblivion that they occupy. but the plane of oblivion they are in, their artifacts are freely taken by the deadra and reused and repurposed by those who serve the deadric princes in some way within tamreal.
      although i have an theory of my own, and it's based off of how a part of your soul is traped in the soul carne, and the method used by serana to get you into the realm. basically she kind of soul trapped you partially which made it so the player could enter the plane of oblivion without you being dead and resistance into the portal, this was a method she learned from her mother who must have learned it from somewhere else, perhaps from another deadric prince. hermaous mora comes to mind because he's the deadric prince of knowledge and fate.
      which also might explain the advanced portal and how that works.

    You missed a theory I've heard for why the Dwarves blinded the falmer. They might be been trying to get them to replace their sense of sight with being able to sense by hearing tonal architecture. Falmer still have their large ears, which are so potent they can be used as an alchemical ingredient, and work as well as eyes. That could've been the dwarven experiment they were trying to perform

      The snow elves/Falmer were blinded by centuries of abuse at the hands of the dwemer, they tore out their eyes and tortured their senses. The Dwemer wanted a slave race to test their experiments on, but thats what Behtesda wanted to make you think. But I think they may have tried experiments on the Falmer, and then tried them on themselves. And the etherium also makes tones if you read the flavor text on atheric items. Also the daedra and the dwarves share some of the same ideals and looks as the daedric princes. So, it is possible that the dwemer became part of the daedra.

    I figured that the blindness inflicted by the Dwemer was just a side effect of their true motive: the souls of the Falmer. Dwemer constructs often drop soul gems, and obtaining black soul gems often requires dangerous bargains with the Ideal Masters. I figured the Dwemer wanted to use the Falmer as a fuel source. Alternatively, they wanted to study the gradual decay of their souls from black to white so they could use the data to evolve their own souls.

      I feel as though the Falmer most likely are mostly, if not only, found in Dwarven Ruins because they were used as slaves, as is mentioned in the game a few times. They were probably used to help carve out tunnels and rooms for their various purposes. Along with that, it's possible they were used as test subjects for the Dwarven Automata.

      I hate this common misconception (I suppose it could be true in TES, but it's certainly not in our world).
      Your senses don't get stronger when you lose one; it only seems that way when one of your more prominent senses is taken away and you're forced to rely on the others.
      It's like if I lose my hearing, my eyes aren't going to suddenly improve, but I would become more visually observant, as I would need to compensate for my lack of hearing (through lip reading and minding my surroundings more, et c.) to continue to live in a similar way as I do now.
      It's the same thing for losing your sight; your hearing doesn't instantly improve, your hearing improves because now you have no choice but to rely on it for the vast majority of your sensory information (or you just start to rely on another person, or guide dog, instead).
      All of that being said, I still like your idea and it does still make sense (but the reason for their increased sensitivity to sound would come from necessity, not some biological buff in response to losing their sight, unless it's Dwemer magic, hah) to have blind people work on audio-based technologies; if this was true, I'd be inclined to agree with you, or suggest that the Dwemer may have blinded them to prevent the Snow Elves from easily using the powerful tonal technology of the Dwemer against them. Or maybe, because tonal architecture is based on sound, the Snow Elves would be more susceptible to it when blind? To be controlled or whatnot.

    I dream of an ES game where the Dwemer begin an invasion of Tamriel. Where they bring back their dormant cities to full power and slowly sneak back home with a goal of total control. I'd imagine the Thalmer would try to make an alliance with them being elves but the Dwemer would ultimately betray them with little empathy. The Dominion would collapse and it'd be like Oblivion in a way I guess, just mass chaos as the dwarves grew stronger.
    I do agree mysteries are great to keep going. If you reveal it all then there's little wonder left. I also think that you can reveal secrets but create more secrets by doing so. Dwemer living in a future where they're considered backwater elves would be kharmic justice though, a funny end to their superiority complex. Maybe the Psijics would learn of their fate some day or an elder scroll burns the truth into someone's eyes.

    Here's an intresting detail Nate forgot to mention. The dwemer, clearly, made experiments on an elder scroll, specifically, the dragon scroll. We know this due to the fact that the dragon scroll is found within the depths of black reach. Interestingly enough, the Dwemer either stole this scroll from the nords, or loaned it to them to defeat Alduin. Considering that the destruction of the world was at stake, the Dwemer might have aided the nords in destroying Alduin. If Alduin is a factor at all in this, and the fact that Alduin technically is a god of destruction, then the Dwemer might not have disappeared unexpectedly, but rather been preparing to flee since Alduin might want to destroy them for aiding in his disappearance.

      The Dwemer didn’t disappear until long after alduin was cast to the future.
      The Dwemer all disappeared when Kagrenak used his tools on the heart of Lorkhan during the battle of red mountain in year 700 of the 1st era. It’s much more likely that this opened them up to Chim and since the Dwemer are a race of scientists and engineers they probably wouldn’t have been able to comprehend that they don’t actually exist and are a part of a dream from the godhead and they zero summed and seized to exist as a result.

Also the reason that they had used the heart at that specific time was because the Chimer were closing in on the area where the Numidium was kept. It’s also likely that the Dwemer were doing other experiments when it comes to dragons if they were even worried at all because in black reach there’s a tonal bell you can hit that summons a dragon for you to fight. Also the elder scrolls contain different knowledge depending on who reads them so the Dwemer owning the dragon scroll is most likely unrelated to alduin.

      I had a similar thought. Alduin was banished to another time using the Elder Scroll you find in the main story of Skyrim, and the Dwemer had a Lexicon that was capable of reading Elder Scrolls. The Elder Scrolls, from what I understand, are pieces of reality, so I don’t think the Dwemer could have just “made” one. Maybe they work using tonal magic. Maybe the Lexicon was a tonal machine made to read one, which the Dwemer learned from to send themselves to another time.

    For all we know, they pissed of the Divines for striking the heart of one of their fallen fellow deity. So pissed that the Divines punished them by letting the Daedric’s use them as they pleased. That explains the Daedric Artifacts that are Dwemer based, and why we can summon Dwemer Automations from places in Oblivion. Or it could be that they stuck themselves in another plane of existence that not even the Divines can locate, or that the soul gems inside the Dwemer Automations are filled with their souls meaning the Dwemer are dead, but alive as their own creations. Just some random ideas that I’ve been holding onto for a bit...

      The Dwemer living as their own creation is an interesting idea, but I gave it some thoughts and I think its not possible. Because in the video, when he translated the plank about the Dwemer accepting the Elves in exchange of their eye sight, it said they sent their machines to fight off the humans while they sheltered the elves. If their creations needed Dwemer souls to function, then they wouldn't have been able to send them to war; would they?

    I think that Arniel's experiment disproves the Oblivion theory, but not completely. Battlespire was a thing, and it was built by far less advanced Imperials. Yagrum is likely not the only one who was in the realm at the time, so it's a pretty likely possibility that a splinter clan of the Dwarves lives in Oblivion, escaping the fate of their Mundus tied bretheren. Artifacts prove it, and even in Morrowind, lower level Dremora were likely to be equipped with Dwarven weaponry.

    I really like the time travel theory because it's something that is proven to be possible. And not only is it possible, the dwemer had the equipment to do it. The nords used the Dragon Scroll to launch Alduin forward in time by reading it. In Skyrim, it just so happens we find that very same Elder Scroll in a giant machine made for ...reading Elder Scrolls. Is it so crazy to assume the dwemer found some way to manipulate the scroll into affecting a larger group? They achieved a great deal with tonal manipulation, and perhaps that heart of a god may have served some purpose as well. I have a feeling its involved.

      Interesting idea, but they wouldn't return at the next kalpa though, because they'd be stuck time looping in this one.
      Also timetravel has limits in the form of paradoxes.
      For example: You can't kill your own grandpa before he has kids, because as a result you'd indirectly prevent your own birth and thus his murder.
      In the same way the dwemer can't change much about dwemer history or dwemer tech.
      Like the previous example: They can't prevent their own disappearance, because it would "kill" their grandpa and undo their own birth.

    It is proven that when a person loses their eyesight, their other senses become more keen, and a loading screen quote in Skyrim mentions that this has indeed happened to the Falmer.
    My theory is that the Falmer were blinded to assist the Dwemer in studying tones and tonal manipulation in a new way. From what the commemorative stone tablet said, this sounds very likely. The tablet mentions specifically that “...by the fifteen-and-one tones did (their) new lives begin.” And the “...music of (their) eternity.” They seem to specifically mention tones in conjunction with the reason they were saved and what will be the rest of their eternities

    Just a note (as an elder scrolls lore fanatic/researcher myself): Arniel Gane's Shade's conjuration might have a zero magicka cost for another reason: he is being summoned from Aetherius, the source of all magic.
    I, personally, find this more likely than Oblivion anyways because if the Dwemer were in Oblivion, Hermaus Mora would almost certainly know and over a few thousand years someone would have gotten the knowledge from him, at least in some kind of cryptic response.
    Wherever the Dwemer are, they aren't any place that Mora can observe or readily send someone to observe.
    As an aside, i find it difficult to believe that there weren't at least some Dwemer who followed Hermaus Mora. Or at the very least, Dwemer on the whole probably got along with Mora rather well. Mora is all about knowledge and the seeking of it, and he doesn't really care for worshipers in the traditional sense. People dont worship Mora out of reverence like the Dunmer worship Azura, they approach him to obtain or trade knowledge. It is very, mercantile, really.

He's also rather unique in how he represents himself towards mortals, most gods and daedra use the forms of creatures or things that can be found within the mortal realm as something mortals can identify them with. Not Mora, He doesn't care if you are wierded out by the mass of eyes he appears as, all he cares about is weither or not you can get him the knowlege that he seeks.

    I think the theory that the Dwemer were sent to the void is potentially valid, but I have another theory that might have something to it. Given that a great battle was taking place as Kagrenac was working away in his lab, what he might have done was try to find a tonal method to render the Dwemer "unbeatable". Now, given that even the greatest civilizations have fallen in spite of their technological prowess, Kagrenac was seeking a tone to render all of Dwemer blood invulnerable or otherwise undefeatable, and instead he discovered a tone that sent all Dwarves to a point in time where they could not be defeated - specifically, the end of all time, when nothing else exists.

    I think the dwemer blinded the snow elves so they can use there heightened sense of hearing to learn the tones of creation necessary to ascend to become gods. When the other gods found out they sabotaged the dwemer to be trapped in time until the falmer are restored to snow elves as punishment for messing with the natural order.

      That's the ultimate dwemer reasoning too.They wouldn't have done something like that to the snow elves without a very specific reason as they DESPISED barbaric torture,and the falmer seem incredibly "powerful" despite their eyesight being gutted.
      Whatever the dwemer wanted with them,it was obviously unfinished before they got popped from the universe.And they sure as hell didn't want them as an easy punching bag.

    Something huge you missed during the analysis of the Dwemer tablet of Calcemo:
    The tablet mentions that their bones would be unbound to the earth. This language is EXTREMELY closely tied to the expressions used to describe the original nine Divines, the Aedra whose "bones became the foundation of the earth."
    It sounds very much like the Dwemer were experimenting on the Falmer/Snow Elves to experiment with divorcing the soul from this plane of existence.
    One of the key elements that's tied to the Dwemer disappearance is the Heart of Lorkhan, which was used in their ascendancy. The thing is, though, the Heart of Lorkhan is the heart of a true God. One of the original Aedra. One of the bones of the earth.
    If the Wisp Mothers are the result of the first experiments that lacked the Heart of Lorkhan, then perhaps with the Heart, they were able to complete the transition entirely.
    You also forgot to mention the Dwemer proclivity towards astronomy and spatial travel. The Dwemer in Morrowind, Bagrum, specifically was one of these astromancers, or whatever they're called in the Elder Scrolls. They most likely created and transitioned to an entirely new Daedric plane of existence.
    What's interesting is that by the Dwemer joining the Daedra, they would be the first to escape Nirn. While the Aedra created the earth by giving themselves up, the Daedra are so named because they specifically *withheld* themselves from giving over to the act of creation. In doing so, the most powerful among them, the Daedric Princes, hollowed out spaces and realms of existence for themselves in Oblivion.
    Perhaps the Dwemer did in fact make their own plane of existence?

    • @AtenKain
      @AtenKain 4 ปีที่แล้ว +43

      That's what I was thinking, too. They created and shifted into thier own alternate dimension, or "plane of Oblivion". It could even be a facsimile of thier original world (Tamriel/Nirn/whatever), but with the Dwemer being the only race inhabiting it. I always got the impression that was something they would have preferred, being the insular, exclusionary, supremacist culture they seemingly were... Be careful what you wish for, as they say.

      I like how this idea explains why they were experimenting on the Falmer, trying to divorce them of their elven aedric divinity, as a precursor to their work on the numidium. It kind of fits in with Michael Kirkbrides ideas about the Dwemer being absorbed into the "skin of the Numidium", which could just be a poetic way of describing a plane of existence created specifically by the brass god with the power of the heart of lorkhan.

    I like to think that dwarves are all connected through all of game and folktale lore, no matter the franchise. You see, there is a lack of dwarves in most stories and games, the lore is often the same. They're all gone, they're all in hiding or only a few remain but they wont say or know where the rest of them are.
    They probably use portals to travel through dimension rifts, as we all know dwarves in all lore are either extremely smart engineers or alchemists and in general strong & brave warriors. No doubt they discovered a way to travel between ruins, lands, or even time & space. But traveling through a rift can mean you end up in the wrong spot because of something unstable? Maybe.

    Even though I've been playing the elder scrolls games for years, I just recently figured out that ALL dwarven ruins lead to Blackreach. You're able to reach the ruins through Blackreach, or the sphere that Septimis gives you. I think the falmer was blinded to learn the tonal information. Of course the falmer possibly being workers of the dwemer, falmer had no choice to tell the dwemer all the new things falmer could hear since they couldn't see anymore.
