Skyrim: 5 Things They Never Told You About The Dwarves

Skyrim is a land home to all sorts of men and elves. From the hardy Nords to arrogant Altmer, the world of The Elder Scrolls 5 is a cosmopolitan one. However, quite possibly the most fascinating civilization to have ever existed in Skyrim, are the now long gone Dwemer. A mysterious, yet highly advanced society, the Dwemer, or "Deep Elves" were known to build incredibly sophisticated machines thousands of years ahead of their time and notably, preferred to live underground, constructing incredible subterranean metropolis' whose ruins we can still see today.

However, in one of the most inexplicable events in Elder Scrolls history, sometime towards the end of the first era, thousands of years prior to the events of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, the Dwemer all just vanished, without a trace. Now, all that remains are their underground ruins and still-humming machinery.

Mysterious, advanced and long-gone, there's a lot worth learning about these odd elves. So, today we'll be doing just that as we explore five incredibly fascinating yet little-known facts about them. I hope you enjoy five things you (probably) never knew about the Dwarves in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.

"Not a single Dwemer would be seen in Nirn again..."

*Morrowind intensifies...*

Aragorn : "You have my sword"
Legolas : "And you have my bow"
Gimli : "And my flying whale"

"Nobody tosses a dwarf!!!!" Giant looks at the dwarf, smiles, and prepares to start the Dwarven Space Program...…..

At this point, Nate is just Hermaeus Mora incarnate.

I'd prefer a game where we wake up in a prison cell or cage of sorts. You look around and _immediately_ recognize the architecture.. Dwemer

"Ahh awake friend?" A pointy-eared man with a glowing red eye turns to you from the cell next to yours. "Didnt know if you'd ever come around after how much they roughed you up". The cell begins to rattle and then ascend, far above the red-eyed man's. "Oh and just in time too, judgment awaits". The wet, dripping stone room the cell was in before completely transforms to reveal an enormous golden gilded city, bustling with citizens. Giant Gears and cogs shift and crank on each building, while steam pours out of every exposed pipe. Unlike ruins we've seen before, this city and it's technology appears clean and kept. Then suddenly, black. As quickly as you were exposed to the wonderous world around you it disappears and you're brought back inside. This time at the top of a _very_ regal tower located in the center of the city. The cage's gate slides open and before you sits a Dwemer man on a pearl-white throne. He strokes his long, golden ring crested beard as he looks you up and down. "So traveler, tell me...

_how exactly did you find us_

[erebys]

"Hey bro, let's go beat some snow elves."
"Hold on, gotta refuel my flying whale."
"Rich bastard. I drive a sphere."
"Poor bastard. Snow whales are where it's at."

[onceuponadime]

"Not a single dwemner was ever seen again" that's not entirely true. There is 1 left as of the events of es 3. He has the coprus and lives beneath red mountain. He's half fat man thing half spider automaton, and no he doesn't know what happened to his brethren

[Kat-eoby]

The last time I was this early, Skyrim still belonged to the Nords

[bitingapotato]

According to the Last Living Dwarf, cozy in his corner of the Corprusarium, "Lord Kagrenac, the foremost arcane philosopher and magecrafter of my era, devised tools to shape mythopoeic forces, intending to transcend the limits of Dwemer mortality. However, in reviewing his formulae, some logicians argued that side effects were unpredictable, and errors might be catastrophic. I think Kagrenac might have succeeded in granting our race eternal life, with unforeseen consequences -- such as wholesale displacement to an Outer Realm. Or he may have erred, and utterly destroyed our race."


Or maybe it's both at once until someone opens the lid of the universe to check on them.

*Unused Summon Dwarven Sphere Spell:* "[exists]"
*Aetherial Staff:* "I'm gonna restart this man's whole career."

[pigcow]

The “Conjure Dwarven Sphere” spell isn’t entirely cut. The Dawnguard DLC adds the Aertherium forge, which can create a staff that summons a dwarven sphere if you complete the quest that goes along with it.

So, the theory based on conjuration still holds up.

[AruHiseki]

theres probably nothing left to be found out about skyrim...
nate: whales can fly...
ok maybe one more thing.
nate: the dwarves used to domesticate them.
ok forget what i said...
nate: but wait theres more...
ok i get it!

11:05 can you imagine minding your own business, taking a shower or something, when all of a sudden some mage summons you to kill a rat?

[zedorda]

A dwarf is a human-shaped entity that dwells in mountains and in the earth, and is variously associated with wisdom, smithing, mining, and crafting. The concept of dwarf having any connection to size is a very modern idea. So by the original meaning the Dwemer fit just fine.

[JVIT_TV]

Would love to see the “snow whales!” Imagine if they are what really blocked out the sun in the Vampire DLC haha

[opusfluke]

You missed the greatest mystery of them all, Nate: WHY, IN THE NAME OF OBLIVION, DID THE DWEMER PUT SO MANY TRAPS EVERYWHERE?!" One thing's for sure, you never got old Dwemer. Once they hit middle age and needed to get up in the night to pee it was *swish!* and Uncle Unpronouncable was sliced and roasted all over the floor.

[CurtisAlexandermusic]

The dwemer time travel theory could hold water actually... since that is what happened to Alduin originally. He was sent forward in time by the ancient Nords using an elder scroll. In the future, when Skyrim takes place, We as the dragonborn are supposed to use an elder scroll at the Throat of the World at a spot called the "time wound". So time travel is a possibility for the Dwemer since the Dragonborn does it in game. Not only that, but the Dragonborn actually obtains the elderscroll by accessing a Dwemer machine.

[CloaksCosplays]

you cant just reshape every other race in Skyrim and make your own artificial plane of oblivion with brass and steam you can’t just make your own power it comes from the aedra and daedra!!!!”

“Haha Heart of Lorkan go
