Haha, while this is funny, I’ve always wondered if they considered it a “heart of a god”, but also simultaneously a tool to be used to further their endeavors of knowledge. They knew the gods existed, but they didn’t worship them as gods, but rather acknowledged that they simply were powerful beings; like a Mammoth is to a Moth. In the pursuit to be greater than a “mammoth”, the moths utilize the mammoth’s tusk to achieve greatness over the mammoth itself. The Heart of Lorkhan is merely a powerful tool to the Dwemer, not a god’s heart, but a powerful being’s heart.
@Orwell Jones Laeddis I've actually wanted to see an Elder Scrolls from Akavir or in the Merethic / Early First Era since Oblivion. I think it would be cool to have a Elder scrolls so far back in time nothing would be very recognizable.
My theory is the dwemer didn't cease to exist, nor wore the transported to another plane. I think the entire race was banished out of time like Alduin, and one day they will just pop back into existence. It could be a cool concept for a future game. Imagine out of nowhere steam rises from the mountains and the whirring of ancient machines can be heard echoing through valleys.
But thats not true? We don't need the theory's man we know what happened, kagronak used acursed tools to strike the heart of lorkan which instantly ascended all dwemer in nirns dimension into atherieas so they're just spirits now.
That would require an elder scroll id imagine and getting one and using it on the dwemer I’m sure would leave it’s mark in history, and it probably wouldn’t be a mystery
I just imagine that the gods intended on killing him someday, but it just kept getting lost in the bureaucratic shuffle until they basically sad "screw it, Alduin will get him eventually." Then TES V happens lol
Honestly this channel is keeping the passionate fire of Elder Scrolls alive today, and once Elder Scrolls VI comes out, I will be grateful for FudgeMuppet for keeping it alive for the fans
I feel like this channel is pushing Skyrim and Oblivion (and other games in the series) better than Todd Howard....Todd is pushing a living world into more new consoles and editions than is reasonable (given that they do not seem to be adding anything meaningful each time)....FudgeMuppet is carrying the lore of all the games into a timeless stage as a true scholar and story teller.
@@miniespeon158 well, thats optional, the decision of a game dev isnt, when Todd sayes its gonna have 16.5 times the detail and rainbow farting zebras, we wount be able to do much about it, skyrim is a good game, but lets all face facts, most people got it for the mod potential, the quest writing is half-assed, bugs liter the game ( distance rendering throws characters into the stratosphere, dragons fly backwards, rain falls inside etc. ) the lore is represented poorly and fumbles around the place which is represented in the quest writing, it all feels so unfinished, hollow, like something is missing here, best described in the collage of winterhold questline, you can literaly be a no magic warior that knows only one spell and sudenly you’re the damn archmage, same with the companions, and dont get me started on the thiefs guild, you are literaly forced into if you new to the game and dont know where esbern is, not much roleplaying there realy, where’s the option to scream at brynjolf that you have no interest joining and that if he doesnt want his head cleaved in two he better spill the info ... or a persuation of gold maybe, no, join to get the info and then sell your soul to another deadra latter ... the wizads at winterhold are similar in that regard, when you go off searching for the dragon elder scroll you have to find septimus sigmus, problem is you need to speak with the collage librarian to find out, ( I think he wount spawn in the frostcave untill you speak with the librarian ) so yeah, you roleplay as a no-magick axe warior ? Congratulations, you are now the archmage 😂 a rank that should be reserved for Master level mages ... whatever, hopefully most people get what I’m going for here, its all so forced, simple and undeserved, all of it
You know what might have been a fun conversation? Yagrum Bagarn meeting Knight-Paladin Gelebor. Since we can hardly compare what the Falmer once were to the Falmer we have now, Gelebor basically is the last of the Snow Elves. And since the Snow Elves were betrayed by the Dwarves, who poisoned and enslaved them to make them lose their sight, I can imagine how cold the conversation would be, and I would love to hear it.
Well, that happens only if Yagrum Bagarn would've left red mountain to meet Gelebor himslef, Gelebor would never abandon his mission, but that can't happen anymore because we don't know about Yagrum Bagarn's fate because of the red day.
I think this is actually something that's done in real life and is shown to help victims gain closure and perpetrators come to terms with the wrong doing they've done.
I feel like they would hate one another but wouldn't try to kill each other either with both of them having the understanding that they're the last of their kind
@@Slenderslayer351 Assuming that the eruption of Red Mountain or the Argonian invasion didn't kill Yagrum Bagarm, then he is still alive. Corprus disease renders it's victims biologically immortal. He had already wandered in that state for hundreds, possibly thousands, of years before he was found by Deviath Fyr and partially treated.
@@Slenderslayer351 Slim, but yes. A chance. I doubt Deviath Fyr allowed himself or his prized patient die so easily. If Master Neloth of Sadrith Mora survived, I have little doubt Deviath Fyr and Yagrum Bagarm survived.
@@archades115 true, neloth may be a boss, but divayth is something else entirely. full daedric in Morrowind lmao I remember being scared of him as a kid watching my mom play
I really hope he shows up in ESO. It's kind of my dream to see a proper Dwemer themed expansion - not one that reveals massive secrets, but definitely one where Bagarn is intimately involved. Imagine encountering him during his prime, just before contracting "the Divine disease." Would be great to see.
This makes me think that if Yagrum hadn't lost use of his lower half he could have attempted to bring his people back by reproducing many half Dwarf children.
@@swilson5320 I think its just racial appearance is from the mother, the rest is from the father. So his kids could still retain Dwarven capabilities just with another mer appearance.
@@swilson5320 The Bretons were interbred with elves for many generations. Male elf + female Nede, then male elf + female hybrid/Breton, then male elf + female hybrid/Breton, etc. etc... Still, they look like humans with only some (lore, not in-game) lightly elven appearance sometimes.
Falion, the Master Conjurer in Skyrim, flat out mentions that he's encountered Dwemer while traveling the Oblivion Planes. "I know many things. I have studied things beyond the reach of most humans, traveled the Oblivion planes, seen things one should not see. *I have met Daedra and Dwemer* and everything in between and I know enough to see a vampire where others would see a man." Did Yagrum Bagarn avoid the eruption of Red Mountain by escaping to the Daedric Planes? Or was it another Dwemer that Falion met?
What if the event of red mountain warped all of the dwemer into the oblivion planes? As a sort of punishment, with no way to return to the mortal realms? I'd imagine that if they were removed from their technology, the oblivion planes would not be an ideal place for them to survive, perhaps some still out there, but that could be a fitting way to explain their disaster.
In my headcanon I like the idea that the Dwemer did in fact achieve divinity, thereby leaving their physical bodies behind without any more need for a presence in Mundus. Instead existing as mere souls in a different level of reality, much like the Et'Ada before Lorkhan's plan. I like this mostly because it works with what I think was some of Kirkbride's *cough* 'influences'. People high on DMT saying they 'break through the veil' of reality describe beings of energy often referred to as 'clockwork elves' who have insane amounts of knowledge and technology to share. I like the idea that that's how the Dwemer ended up. That they are the clockwork elves existing within this divine realm beyond reality as mere beings of energy/ souls.
God I'd feel so bad for Yagrum if thats true :( No matter the truth, whether it be his people are flourishing after reaching chim or erased from existence as we know it, he has to live an awful existence
But at the same time, fates in TES are usually cruel and horrifying. If the Dwemer didn't cease to be all together, they probably ended up in some eternal cycle of torture. I could imagine them being forced to live in a world with infinite knowledge and power, but without a way catch and hold on to any of it. They would have manage to ascend to a godly realm, but they weren't gods, simply prisoners to their own greed and cruelty. The Dwemer would become enslaved like they had done to the Falmer, and that was their punishment for trying to get achieve divinity through such heretical means. But I'm mostly likely wrong.
It bothers me how little this character features in the lore. He's THE primary resource about the Dwemer and its technology and culture but he just sort of never gets discussed in the lore.
@MapleLeafAce He was exploring the outer realms during the Battle of Red Mountain, and he was in Morrowind in the 3rd era. There isn't any information where he was during the 2nd era. Also, the outer realms sounds like Oblivion.
I like tp to theorize that Yagrum was actually in the Outer Realms exactly because Kagrenac was working on Lorkhans Heart, that he was there to observe if the Tools could stretch that extra note to the Outer Realms, to influence beyond Mundus as an Outside Observer.
If he is still alive during the time of the Dragonborn, and the DB has completed the quest in Winterhold to help the wizard replicate the Dwemer’s disappearance, what if the DB went to Yagram and gave him the details of the experiment.
I have a buddy who plays the 'same character' for all the Elder Scrolls games, so his Daggerfall character is also the Dragonborn reincarnation of Indoril Nerevar who fought along side Martin in the Imperial City as the Champion of Cyrodiil. I'll have to ask him what he thinks about the idea you posed.
@@Slenderslayer351 true but I was thinking more along the lines of if Yagram was still around, he’d like at least a hint as to what the fuck happened and since the experiment was just replicated, the smart dwemer cunt could use that.
Divayth Fyr is the real story... 4000 years old he was born as a Chimer, demi god like powers... he's more than a telvanni wizard, no one truly knows what he is
This video made me realize something. Falion says he spoke with dwemer. However it’s never stated that these dwemer were in the Daedra realms due too what happened at red mountain. They could have just created their own plain like the ideal masters and just escaped extinction because of it.
@@justinfourie3422 It’s something Falion says in Skyrim. The Redguard who cures vampirism. I don’t remember the exact dialogue path to get him to say it. And this is just a theory made after listening to the video. Originally I just thought maybe the dwemmer got transported there by a prince. But what was stopping hyper advanced people from creating a Daedra realm like the ideal masters?
I've never been early for a FudgeMuppet video and by god it had to happen when covering my favourite character from Morrowind - I have spent 19 years thinking about that dude
I feel for Yagrum, being the last of your race must be soul-crushingly lonely. Sure you can still talk to other races and socialize, but it can never replace one's own people or the values that they hold.
@@sheogorathprinceofmadness2223 really? I didn't realize that would be the vibe my words gave off. I was going for being the very last of ones species, rather than being being the last of a specific ethnicity. Being the last of ones entire species I just feel would be ALOT more soul-crushing than the more petty versions of being the last of ones own kind. Which is why I feel sympathy for Yagrum, being being stuck in that level of isolation must be a horror unto itself.
It’s hard to describe in words how much this channel mean to me. No matter what I’m going through in life, I know I can go to a Fudgemuppet video and feel at home.

He's not entirely alone. There were the ghosts of the Dwemer in many of the ruins, to include Radac Stungnthumz. Ghosts aren't precisely part of the race, but it raises the question why there are not more ghosts.....
I don't want them to ever dispel the mystery entirely, but knowing more about their fall, or perhaps finding others who managed to escape that fate would be really cool.
I think they're probably in another realm somewhere, probably a plane of oblivion. Given that this is what happened to that dude in the college of winterhold who we can help replicate what the dwemer did.

I recently started playing Morrowind and I absolutely love it the amount of lore and just over all attention to detail is incredible for a game so old.
Morrowind is my personal favorite game because it strikes the perfect balance of gameplay and world building in my opinion. It single handedly inspired me to make games. I hope you have a lot of fun playing it! Remember to take your time and enjoy the journey-it's not a game made to be sped through.
Hell yeah man new content. Hey I just wanted to say I really enjoy your work. You and anyone else who works with you do a great job and I for one sure appreciate it.
You missed the Nerevarine, who after contracting corpus (which makes you immortal) just like Yagrum did, that's why he was immortal, wen't to Divayth Fyr to be cured, Divayth could remove most of the symptoms, but not cure the disease, immortality is one symptom he kept, after the Nerevarine completed his journey in Morrowind he left Tamriel and went to Akavir, as far as canon is concerned he is still there, he also has a deeper immortality, because most beings that do not age (one form of immortality) can still be slain, and so can the Nerevarine, however most do not have a deity on their side, Azura was the one who told Vivec, Sotha Sil, and Almalexia, Indoril would be reborn by her will, and wreak her vengeance upon them for disobeying Indoril and her, by abusing the power of the Heart of Lorkan after Indoril was slain in the battle of Red Mountain, to which Sotha Sill famously responded "The old gods are cruel and arbitrary, and distant from the hopes and fears of mer. Your age is past. We are the new gods, born of the flesh, and wise and caring of the needs of our people. Spare us your threats and chiding, inconstant spirit. We are bold and fresh, and will not fear you." Azura then cursed the Chimer, (who are what they became when they left the Altmer) into the Dunmer, skin of ash, eyes of fire, Indoril Nerevar is Azuras personal champion, and if you slay him, she will bring him back every time.
1) your forgetting the neraverine fulfilled azura's prophecy in morrowind.. There is no reason for azura to resurrect indoril neravar in the body of a new neraverine, should the current one die. 2) "the neraverine" is a bit of a catch 22 when it comes to identity. "The neraverine's" is more apt, as each one is a unique individual, who also houses the additional spirit of indoral neravar. So no, our neraverine, even IF azura decided "screw it lets just keep making new ones" wouldnt be reincarnated.. Indoril Neravar would be, but in the body of a totally new neraverine. 3) corprus, grants immortality by causes disease and decay.. Even with the negatives staved off as long as possible..the neraverine will ultimately, end up like yagrum over time without a straight up cure.. Hell and that cure could buried under an erupted red mountain for all we know.. In short...."If he dies, he dies..."
@@danielhogan6255 I disagree, just because that prophecy is fulfilled doesn't mean anything, she is a deity and she can do what she wants, she doesn't magically lose the ability to resurrect him because the prophecy has been fulfilled. Second it is completely irrelevant if his personality is different because it's still his soul, that is the definition of reincarnation, the recycling of a soul, and finally I read those events completely differently, Divayth said he completely removed the other Corpus symptoms, not gave him something to treat it. In the game The Nerevarine is looking for a cure and Divayth tries to cure him completely and fails, to which the Nerevarine asks for answers and Divayth explains that he was only able to cure some symptoms of the corpus, like the rotting flesh and madness. So no, those symptoms are gone forever, not dormant.
Thanks for uploading this Fudgemuppet. I was looking for videos on the mer himself and was surprised at the relative dearth of content discussing him specifically, versus only as a small piece of the greater mystery of the Deep Folk. Again thank you
I believe that what the dark elf's comment about it being a divine gift or curse means it has its roots in Lorkhan. When they mettle with the heart of their known universe then it could have many after effects not just erasing the dwarves but changing reality like a dragon break to include the "disease" curse of a twisted divinity since it was also what brought about the prophecy being true about the Nervarine.
It is my therory that the dwemer race all had to die to make Yagrum Bagarn immortal. Vivec and the other two of the tribunal used the tools of Kagrenac to become God's. However they chose to do it in an effort to make the lives of their people better, thus acting more like Aedra deities. This consumed the tribunal's mortal forms, reforming them into immortal God's. Vivec stated himself that once he touched the heart of Lorkhan, Vehk ceased to exist and Vivec was born. Kagrenac used the tools in an effort to become a God, but not necessarily to make anyone's life better, but more for scientific achievement and ambition. Thus he acted more like a Daedra and rather than consuming his mortal form, it consumed his people conferring powers upon Yagrum Bagarn. I personally think Kagrenac is Yagrum Bagarn, but he remembers his life as a third party observer due to his issues with memory and due to the process of imperfect ascension to God-hood. Vivec when referring to his former life, refers to it as someone else, stating he is not responsible for the mistakes of Vehk, because they are separate beings. I think the distinction between intent is important, the tribunal acting more like Aedra and Kagrenac acting more like a Daedra. The daedra all require souls to maintain immortality. Hence why they make deals with mortals in exchange for their souls. I think they maintain much of their mortal imperfect selves, hence why they are selfish and often acting in evil ways. The Aedra I believe can persist off of worship alone, because they sacrificed everything mortal about themselves (hopes, desires, dislikes, etc) to attain God hood. Thus the Aedra are more perfect Immortals, and the Daedra are imperfect. Just as how the Tribunal using the same methods as Kagrenac, became perfect Immortals, while Yagrum Bagarn became an imperfect immortal that required the souls of his people
Has anyone else ever wondered how the chimer waged a war against the dwemer and didn’t just get completely stomped on by legions of automata and advanced Magic’s and technologies that no other race has come close to thousands of years later?
@@erikburzinski8248 The Chimer couldn't beat the Thu'um using Nords without the Dwemer, so they weren't that powerful. I think the Dwemer magic is overrated. A big glaring limitation is that the automatons can't operate far from the Dwemer ruins. Outside the automatons, the Dwemer seem to lack a warrior culture that produces great soldiers or heroes. It unsurprising they couldn't even defeat the Falmer.
Death is always an interesting subject; Like (Heavily Tangential) Vampires and so forth, if become a demon or so be rids you of your soul, you may live forever, but you have no place to go in the end… In the end those Immortal by Darker Paths are the finite ones!
That's why necromancy is the best path, your soul ends up safe in a vessel, far from your corporeal form, that it could be used to synthesize or possess a new body in the case of the failure of the original. Keep it secret, keep it safe.
@@freewilly1193 indeed, I’ve always found that fascinating, to become so powerful magically you can find and/or build a better form to take! But still not necessarily need it!
At some point in eso i remember hearing the creation myth of the Khajits saying that Azura was beside as Lorkkan was born and that always stuck in head. I always imagined her being big sister to lorkhan so when you said Azura could have punished the dwemer I gasped as Id never considered that at all. So interesting.
It's an interesting idea and she has changed an entire race before. That said I very much doubt that would mean the end of the Dwemer entirely, cause that would mean other divines could have simply snapped mortals out of the picture when they were in the way. If this was her doing, they are still around, question is where, when or how?
I do like the idea the Dwarves are like Icarus and get punished for their hubris in thinking the can approach godhood. However, I doubt someone has vain as Azura could punish the race without taking some credit.
For the record: this video says the dwemer all died except yaggy baggy, which is at best a vast oversimplification. We have no idea what happened to them
i have felt that the dwenmer would make for an awesome enemy in a future TES game. imagine a huge army of dwarves and machines invading through portals and attacking cyrodiil. final battle could be basically a giant mech battle, with the player character piloting a numedian type mech vs a new dwemer one piloted by dumac or kagrenac. you could still have the mystery about where they went and why. as well as the new mystery of why they have returned and attacked. it'd give bethesda an excuse for adding in new tech, new dwemer bots to go along with spheres, spiders and centurions. after they are defeated they could retreat back trough the portals. thus leaving the possibility of them returning again in the future.
It's odd that he was the "only" one outside of Mundus. It's hard to believe to be honest. There might be groups of Dwemer people outside of Mundus and who refuse to return for some reason or another.
Well, you are so devoted to the Elder Scrolls universe, that I believe Bethesda should immortalize you in one of their next games. They should portrait you as three brother mages of vast knowledge, but a little crazy with their theories. Fudge, Muppet and Fuppet, three mages eager to learn all the secrets of Nirn. Travelling around the world, exploring ancient ruins, ancient scrolls, looking for dead and forgotten civilization, even in the deep sea... Looking for knowledge forever. Three mages on the edge of achieving CHIM.
hot damn, view number 11! Crazy theory time: Yagrum Bagarn was in Apocrypha and let slip to Hermaeus Mora what Kagrenac was working on, ol' herma mora is intrigued but also annoyed at the hubris of dwarves and decides to step in, he goes to Kagrenac and offers him "secret knowledge" which Kagrenac jumps at. Now, of course, it does work... all the Dwemer are stripped of their corporeality but instead of making them immortal, they were absorbed by Hermaeus Mora to feed his insatiable lust for knowledge. He allowed Yagrum to return to Tamriel, but with his mind and body shattered, in case he would seek revenge... it could also work with Clavivcus Vile, Bagran makes a deal for "immortality" but it cost him the lives of all of the dwarves!
The theory is really interesting and I like it, but Bagarn's immortality and disabled state are clearly caused by corprus, originating from Dagot Ur, not Herma Mora.
If any divine could simply erase an entire race, they would have for other reasons. Plenty daedric plots fallen apart do to mortal actions, they would have made sure that could not be the case, if they had such power.
That would be the kind of thing that hermaeus mora will flex if he did really do it. And since the dwemer considered themself at least equal to deities, I do 't really see one of them go after a daedric prince to ask for knowledge. Knowledge were all for the dwemer, but it wasn' t any kind of knowledge, it was their knowledge in particular, the knowledge they finded and built themself
Yagrum Bagarns outside realm is the earth realm of Fallout's universe millenia before the events of fallout happen, he discovered it and was enamored by how the inhabitants thrived in a world without gods or magic. Before the Dwemer were vanished Bagarn would pass on dwemer technology and science on to ancient humans and was worshipped as a god. The artifacts of these empires are discovered by Lorenzo Cabot in the 19th century.
I always felt sorry for the poor guy. Yagrum Bagarn was always such a tragic character to me. And the only way I could help him was to kill him. It seemed like a mercy. I did the same thing for that sorrowful woman in Seyda Neen in her quest to find her husband, and we find him dead. I read that book she had in her home about a Khajiit and their lover who weren't accepted as being together. That made up my mind to kill her and then place the ring on her body as a sign that she should be together with him in the afterlife. It was the only way I could reconcile that fate bestowed upon them. And it was the only way I could live with myself as a character.
Yagrum is too fascinating a character to be forgotten. The single living survivor of a race of Mer long thought extinct. Even the Snow Elves have their descendants in the falmer goblins, whom Gelebor admits are becoming more intelligent with every passing year, so there’s hope that maybe millennia from now they might regain a fraction of their former selves. But Yagrum doesn’t even have shadows. I truly hope he makes a comeback in future games, assuming the eruption at Red Mountain didn’t finish him off first. 😞
@@James-nf9pd Well, you're right, my mistake. But now that I think about it, he knew that Alduin was consumed by the time wound and would reappear later in time.
The dragons were also just hunted to near extinction, many still terrorizing the lands up in historic times. Tiber Septm's loyal soldier Nafaalilargus for one lived almost into the 3th era. Still some lived in solitude and in hiding. Though it seems unlikely that Paarthunax had contact with those ones, he must have known he was not alone throughout the 3th era.
I think that if it was Azura, who stands behind the disappearance of the dwemer race, people all over Tamriel would have known that already. She is increadibly vain after all.
possibly, but azura also says that things weigh on gods forever, so her not bringing up the dwemer could be her trying not to think about things she despises.

You know what might have been a fun conversation? Yagrum Bagarn meeting Knight-Paladin Gelebor. Since we can hardly compare what the Falmer once were to the Falmer we have now, Gelebor basically is the last of the Snow Elves.
And since the Snow Elves were betrayed by the Dwarves, who poisoned and enslaved them to make them lose their sight, I can imagine how cold the conversation would be, and I would love to hear it.
Well, that happens only if Yagrum Bagarn would've left red mountain to meet Gelebor himslef, Gelebor would never abandon his mission, but that can't happen anymore because we don't know about Yagrum Bagarn's fate because of the red day.
I think this is actually something that's done in real life and is shown to help victims gain closure and perpetrators come to terms with the wrong doing they've done.
I absolutely love the dwemer ruins, you can see the greatness and the mystery of it all is just amazing.
I feel like they would hate one another but wouldn't try to kill each other either with both of them having the understanding that they're the last of their kind

Falion, the Master Conjurer in Skyrim, flat out mentions that he's encountered Dwemer while traveling the Oblivion Planes.
"I know many things. I have studied things beyond the reach of most humans, traveled the Oblivion planes, seen things one should not see. *I have met Daedra and Dwemer* and everything in between and I know enough to see a vampire where others would see a man."
Did Yagrum Bagarn avoid the eruption of Red Mountain by escaping to the Daedric Planes? Or was it another Dwemer that Falion met?
Honestly could be another Dwemer, what do you think?
What if the event of red mountain warped all of the dwemer into the oblivion planes? As a sort of punishment, with no way to return to the mortal realms? I'd imagine that if they were removed from their technology, the oblivion planes would not be an ideal place for them to survive, perhaps some still out there, but that could be a fitting way to explain their disaster.
Falion probably just ot the short stick and was spared. The Dwemer the Conjoror met was probably someone else.
Or Falion is lying
It's probably just.. bad writing
In my headcanon I like the idea that the Dwemer did in fact achieve divinity, thereby leaving their physical bodies behind without any more need for a presence in Mundus. Instead existing as mere souls in a different level of reality, much like the Et'Ada before Lorkhan's plan.
I like this mostly because it works with what I think was some of Kirkbride's *cough* 'influences'. People high on DMT saying they 'break through the veil' of reality describe beings of energy often referred to as 'clockwork elves' who have insane amounts of knowledge and technology to share. I like the idea that that's how the Dwemer ended up. That they are the clockwork elves existing within this divine realm beyond reality as mere beings of energy/ souls.
Living in their own pocket universe, like an Oblivion plane from a Daedra.
Man... that's cool.
So they achieved Chim.
God I'd feel so bad for Yagrum if thats true :( No matter the truth, whether it be his people are flourishing after reaching chim or erased from existence as we know it, he has to live an awful existence
In reality, they are the Numidium.
I recall some source saying they became the golden skin of the dwemer
But at the same time, fates in TES are usually cruel and horrifying. If the Dwemer didn't cease to be all together, they probably ended up in some eternal cycle of torture. I could imagine them being forced to live in a world with infinite knowledge and power, but without a way catch and hold on to any of it. They would have manage to ascend to a godly realm, but they weren't gods, simply prisoners to their own greed and cruelty. The Dwemer would become enslaved like they had done to the Falmer, and that was their punishment for trying to get achieve divinity through such heretical means. But I'm mostly likely wrong.
Yagrum Bagarn looks like he would say the gamer word.
N'wah?
He looks like he would wear a fedora unironically and call women "milady"
Milady do you perchance possess the onlyfans?
You should hear his sound files assigned to him, he's toatally a gamer.

It bothers me how little this character features in the lore.
He's THE primary resource about the Dwemer and its technology and culture but he just sort of never gets discussed in the lore.
Corprus makes people forget. If he’s alive then he should be unable to even communicate.
Where is he during ESO?
I hope we find him in the realm of Oblivion that helped him escape the fate of his race.
@@badluck5647 in the time of ESO he was probably still exploring Outer Realms. Morrowind happens a whole Era later than ESO.
@MapleLeafAce He was exploring the outer realms during the Battle of Red Mountain, and he was in Morrowind in the 3rd era. There isn't any information where he was during the 2nd era.
Also, the outer realms sounds like Oblivion.
I like tp to theorize that Yagrum was actually in the Outer Realms exactly because Kagrenac was working on Lorkhans Heart, that he was there to observe if the Tools could stretch that extra note to the Outer Realms, to influence beyond Mundus as an Outside Observer.
If he is still alive during the time of the Dragonborn, and the DB has completed the quest in Winterhold to help the wizard replicate the Dwemer’s disappearance, what if the DB went to Yagram and gave him the details of the experiment.
Would've been nice but even the wizard didn't know of Yagram's existence and he's a nerd on the Dwemer. Pretty sure Yagram's long gone now

This video made me realize something. Falion says he spoke with dwemer. However it’s never stated that these dwemer were in the Daedra realms due too what happened at red mountain. They could have just created their own plain like the ideal masters and just escaped extinction because of it.
Source for this cause I'm interested
@@justinfourie3422 It’s something Falion says in Skyrim. The Redguard who cures vampirism. I don’t remember the exact dialogue path to get him to say it.
And this is just a theory made after listening to the video. Originally I just thought maybe the dwemmer got transported there by a prince. But what was stopping hyper advanced people from creating a Daedra realm like the ideal masters?

I feel for Yagrum, being the last of your race must be soul-crushingly lonely. Sure you can still talk to other races and socialize, but it can never replace one's own people or the values that they hold.
Not only that his immortality makes it so he can never bond with anyone because they will die unless they’re a vampire.

This is unironically a nationalist manifesto. I agree.
@@sheogorathprinceofmadness2223 really? I didn't realize that would be the vibe my words gave off. I was going for being the very last of ones species, rather than being being the last of a specific ethnicity. Being the last of ones entire species I just feel would be ALOT more soul-crushing than the more petty versions of being the last of ones own kind. Which is why I feel sympathy for Yagrum, being being stuck in that level of isolation must be a horror unto itself.

You missed the Nerevarine, who after contracting corpus (which makes you immortal) just like Yagrum did, that's why he was immortal, wen't to Divayth Fyr to be cured, Divayth could remove most of the symptoms, but not cure the disease, immortality is one symptom he kept, after the Nerevarine completed his journey in Morrowind he left Tamriel and went to Akavir, as far as canon is concerned he is still there, he also has a deeper immortality, because most beings that do not age (one form of immortality) can still be slain, and so can the Nerevarine, however most do not have a deity on their side, Azura was the one who told Vivec, Sotha Sil, and Almalexia, Indoril would be reborn by her will, and wreak her vengeance upon them for disobeying Indoril and her, by abusing the power of the Heart of Lorkan after Indoril was slain in the battle of Red Mountain, to which Sotha Sill famously responded "The old gods are cruel and arbitrary, and distant from the hopes and fears of mer. Your age is past. We are the new gods, born of the flesh, and wise and caring of the needs of our people. Spare us your threats and chiding, inconstant spirit. We are bold and fresh, and will not fear you." Azura then cursed the Chimer, (who are what they became when they left the Altmer) into the Dunmer, skin of ash, eyes of fire, Indoril Nerevar is Azuras personal champion, and if you slay him, she will bring him back every time.
1) your forgetting the neraverine fulfilled azura's prophecy in morrowind.. There is no reason for azura to resurrect indoril neravar in the body of a new neraverine, should the current one die.
2) "the neraverine" is a bit of a catch 22 when it comes to identity. "The neraverine's" is more apt, as each one is a unique individual, who also houses the additional spirit of indoral neravar. So no, our neraverine, even IF azura decided "screw it lets just keep making new ones" wouldnt be reincarnated.. Indoril Neravar would be, but in the body of a totally new neraverine.
3) corprus, grants immortality by causes disease and decay.. Even with the negatives staved off as long as possible..the neraverine will ultimately, end up like yagrum over time without a straight up cure.. Hell and that cure could buried under an erupted red mountain for all we know..
In short...."If he dies, he dies..."
@@danielhogan6255 I disagree, just because that prophecy is fulfilled doesn't mean anything, she is a deity and she can do what she wants, she doesn't magically lose the ability to resurrect him because the prophecy has been fulfilled.
Second it is completely irrelevant if his personality is different because it's still his soul, that is the definition of reincarnation, the recycling of a soul, and finally I read those events completely differently, Divayth said he completely removed the other Corpus symptoms, not gave him something to treat it.
In the game The Nerevarine is looking for a cure and Divayth tries to cure him completely and fails, to which the Nerevarine asks for answers and Divayth explains that he was only able to cure some symptoms of the corpus, like the rotting flesh and madness.
So no, those symptoms are gone forever, not dormant.

Again thank you
I believe that what the dark elf's comment about it being a divine gift or curse means it has its roots in Lorkhan. When they mettle with the heart of their known universe then it could have many after effects not just erasing the dwarves but changing reality like a dragon break to include the "disease" curse of a twisted divinity since it was also what brought about the prophecy being true about the Nervarine.
It is my therory that the dwemer race all had to die to make Yagrum Bagarn immortal. Vivec and the other two of the tribunal used the tools of Kagrenac to become God's. However they chose to do it in an effort to make the lives of their people better, thus acting more like Aedra deities. This consumed the tribunal's mortal forms, reforming them into immortal God's. Vivec stated himself that once he touched the heart of Lorkhan, Vehk ceased to exist and Vivec was born. Kagrenac used the tools in an effort to become a God, but not necessarily to make anyone's life better, but more for scientific achievement and ambition. Thus he acted more like a Daedra and rather than consuming his mortal form, it consumed his people conferring powers upon Yagrum Bagarn. I personally think Kagrenac is Yagrum Bagarn, but he remembers his life as a third party observer due to his issues with memory and due to the process of imperfect ascension to God-hood. Vivec when referring to his former life, refers to it as someone else, stating he is not responsible for the mistakes of Vehk, because they are separate beings. I think the distinction between intent is important, the tribunal acting more like Aedra and Kagrenac acting more like a Daedra. The daedra all require souls to maintain immortality. Hence why they make deals with mortals in exchange for their souls. I think they maintain much of their mortal imperfect selves, hence why they are selfish and often acting in evil ways. The Aedra I believe can persist off of worship alone, because they sacrificed everything mortal about themselves (hopes, desires, dislikes, etc) to attain God hood. Thus the Aedra are more perfect Immortals, and the Daedra are imperfect. Just as how the Tribunal using the same methods as Kagrenac, became perfect Immortals, while Yagrum Bagarn became an imperfect immortal that required the souls of his people

The chimer where far stronger then any current race is the only reason.
@@erikburzinski8248 The Chimer couldn't beat the Thu'um using Nords without the Dwemer, so they weren't that powerful.
I think the Dwemer magic is overrated. A big glaring limitation is that the automatons can't operate far from the Dwemer ruins. Outside the automatons, the Dwemer seem to lack a warrior culture that produces great soldiers or heroes. It unsurprising they couldn't even defeat the Falmer.
Yagrum Bagarn is what happens when Todd Howard reads the 'Mojoworld' X-men comics.
It is literally insane how good this game is.
Death is always an interesting subject; Like (Heavily Tangential) Vampires and so forth, if become a demon or so be rids you of your soul, you may live forever, but you have no place to go in the end…
In the end those Immortal by Darker Paths are the finite ones!
That's why necromancy is the best path, your soul ends up safe in a vessel, far from your corporeal form, that it could be used to synthesize or possess a new body in the case of the failure of the original.
Keep it secret, keep it safe.
@@freewilly1193 indeed, I’ve always found that fascinating, to become so powerful magically you can find and/or build a better form to take! But still not necessarily need it!
At some point in eso i remember hearing the creation myth of the Khajits saying that Azura was beside as Lorkkan was born and that always stuck in head. I always imagined her being big sister to lorkhan so when you said Azura could have punished the dwemer I gasped as Id never considered that at all. So interesting.
It's an interesting idea and she has changed an entire race before. That said I very much doubt that would mean the end of the Dwemer entirely, cause that would mean other divines could have simply snapped mortals out of the picture when they were in the way. If this was her doing, they are still around, question is where, when or how?
I do like the idea the Dwarves are like Icarus and get punished for their hubris in thinking the can approach godhood. However, I doubt someone has vain as Azura could punish the race without taking some credit.
"Hi I'm Johnny Knoxville, and I'm gonna bang on the Heart of Lorkhan like a drum!"
So basically Ol' Yaggy's connection dropped out, right around the time the Dwemer collectively Alt-F4ed their entire species

TES6 definetly will play during the Dwemer era, there's no way around it.
For the record: this video says the dwemer all died except yaggy baggy, which is at best a vast oversimplification. We have no idea what happened to them
i have felt that the dwenmer would make for an awesome enemy in a future TES game. imagine a huge army of dwarves and machines invading through portals and attacking cyrodiil. final battle could be basically a giant mech battle, with the player character piloting a numedian type mech vs a new dwemer one piloted by dumac or kagrenac. you could still have the mystery about where they went and why. as well as the new mystery of why they have returned and attacked. it'd give bethesda an excuse for adding in new tech, new dwemer bots to go along with spheres, spiders and centurions. after they are defeated they could retreat back trough the portals. thus leaving the possibility of them returning again in the future.
We need more of these kind of videos 👍.
It's odd that he was the "only" one outside of Mundus. It's hard to believe to be honest. There might be groups of Dwemer people outside of Mundus and who refuse to return for some reason or another.

hot damn, view number 11! Crazy theory time: Yagrum Bagarn was in Apocrypha and let slip to Hermaeus Mora what Kagrenac was working on, ol' herma mora is intrigued but also annoyed at the hubris of dwarves and decides to step in, he goes to Kagrenac and offers him "secret knowledge" which Kagrenac jumps at. Now, of course, it does work... all the Dwemer are stripped of their corporeality but instead of making them immortal, they were absorbed by Hermaeus Mora to feed his insatiable lust for knowledge. He allowed Yagrum to return to Tamriel, but with his mind and body shattered, in case he would seek revenge... it could also work with Clavivcus Vile, Bagran makes a deal for "immortality" but it cost him the lives of all of the dwarves!
The theory is really interesting and I like it, but Bagarn's immortality and disabled state are clearly caused by corprus, originating from Dagot Ur, not Herma Mora.
If any divine could simply erase an entire race, they would have for other reasons. Plenty daedric plots fallen apart do to mortal actions, they would have made sure that could not be the case, if they had such power.
That would be the kind of thing that hermaeus mora will flex if he did really do it. And since the dwemer considered themself at least equal to deities, I do 't really see one of them go after a daedric prince to ask for knowledge. Knowledge were all for the dwemer, but it wasn' t any kind of knowledge, it was their knowledge in particular, the knowledge they finded and built themself
@@xeskenn18 We also know for a fact that the Dwemer could make a lock box Ol'Mora could not crack.
@@insaincaldo yeah true I didn't think at that but yes, pretty sure Hermaeus Mora hated the dwemer during their time
His story is epic and very depressing these kinds of things really make you appreciate the elder scrolls series
Everyone in tamriel is immortal, I could leave my PC running for years on end and no one would die from natural causes.
Craig Doran Electronics have about 20 years of lifetime. After that they would all vanish like some kinda dwemer.
@@nihilism6226 don't care didn't ask, plus you're a nihilist.
@@craigdoran7873 Yet I answered anyway.
@@nihilism6226 He said he didn't ask. Craig has spoken.
@@dovahkiin7253 I don't care, I answer to whatever I please. There is only one authority I respect - death.
Plot twist : entire dwemer race is playing hide & seek ,and it's Yagrum's turn to seek.
Yagrum Bagarns outside realm is the earth realm of Fallout's universe millenia before the events of fallout happen, he discovered it and was enamored by how the inhabitants thrived in a world without gods or magic. Before the Dwemer were vanished Bagarn would pass on dwemer technology and science on to ancient humans and was worshipped as a god. The artifacts of these empires are discovered by Lorenzo Cabot in the 19th century.
Perhaps he could move his own soul into a black soul gem and create a new body for himself.
I always felt sorry for the poor guy. Yagrum Bagarn was always such a tragic character to me. And the only way I could help him was to kill him. It seemed like a mercy. I did the same thing for that sorrowful woman in Seyda Neen in her quest to find her husband, and we find him dead. I read that book she had in her home about a Khajiit and their lover who weren't accepted as being together. That made up my mind to kill her and then place the ring on her body as a sign that she should be together with him in the afterlife. It was the only way I could reconcile that fate bestowed upon them. And it was the only way I could live with myself as a character.
Basically u just wanted to kill...
You got a smoothie don't cha
justify it if you like. Still murder.
1:40 "Persistent Existence" is a great band name
Damn guys I need more of this content in my life!
This was very well put together.
I was hoping to find him in ESO just because that's dated before Morrowind
Yagrum is too fascinating a character to be forgotten. The single living survivor of a race of Mer long thought extinct. Even the Snow Elves have their descendants in the falmer goblins, whom Gelebor admits are becoming more intelligent with every passing year, so there’s hope that maybe millennia from now they might regain a fraction of their former selves. But Yagrum doesn’t even have shadows. I truly hope he makes a comeback in future games, assuming the eruption at Red Mountain didn’t finish him off first. 😞
The last syllable of Drew’s sentences are so delayed it’s very distracti ng
I’ve never noticed that before!
Why have you done this to me?
It was the FIRST thing I noticed when I started with these guys lol I'm used to it now
You were very close to the talking mudcrab merchant in that one shot between 3:40 - 3:50. I remember that specific ruin very well.
I was over on twitch but the ideal masters have summoned me. ❤️ thank you so much 😊. Please keep feeding my bethesaddiction. (Powered by Series X) 🙊
The return of a lost Dwemer clan would make one hell of a storyline.
The last time I was this early, the Chimer were still pale blondes.
@Wirr Ling Oh, look who missed context!
Dark blue/green/grey/ashen skin with dark red eyes isn’t silver-gold skin. Who’d have guessed?!
Loved the video. Very good
Can’t wait to meet him in Skywind!
N'wahs: Praise the divines
Dwemer: *PRAISE THE OMNISSIAH*
What about paarthurnax he knows what it's like to be the last of a race
Well, there clearly are many other dragons around...
@@SereglothIV yes but that was very recent, paarthurnaxx was the last of his kind for a very very long time
@@James-nf9pd Well, you're right, my mistake. But now that I think about it, he knew that Alduin was consumed by the time wound and would reappear later in time.
@@SereglothIV Yes thats true actually, if he knew alduin would return he mustve felt differently from Yagrum
The dragons were also just hunted to near extinction, many still terrorizing the lands up in historic times.
Tiber Septm's loyal soldier Nafaalilargus for one lived almost into the 3th era. Still some lived in solitude and in hiding. Though it seems unlikely that Paarthunax had contact with those ones, he must have known he was not alone throughout the 3th era.
Beautiful writing
I think that if it was Azura, who stands behind the disappearance of the dwemer race, people all over Tamriel would have known that already. She is increadibly vain after all.
possibly, but azura also says that things weigh on gods forever, so her not bringing up the dwemer could be her trying not to think about things she despises.
@@windhelmguard5295 as if it ever stopped her from putting curses on those who disrespected her.
