The Last of a Dead Race - The Dwemer named Yagrum Bagarn - Elder Scrolls Lore

In our latest Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim video we delve into the lore of the last living dwemer.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an open world action role-playing video game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is the fifth main installment in The Elder Scrolls series and was released worldwide on November 11, 2011. The game's main story revolves around the player character and their quest to defeat Alduin the World-Eater, a dragon who is prophesied to destroy the world. The videogame is set two hundred years after the events of Oblivion, and takes place in the fictional province of Skyrim.

"We are a pious people, nothing will stray us from the path of knowledge.
"Sir we found the heart of a dead god"
"Hfjfhfhfhf"

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.

I remember this dwemer guy. He was a regular when I worked at the McDonalds in Balmora

[PlagueOfGripes]

I've always wondered what he's been up to in the more recent parts of the timeline.

[joerobins]

"His knowledge of tonal architecture DWARFED all of his peers."

I see what you did there.

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

[maxmazza]

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

[juddotto]

Tldr everyone hated Yagrum and they moved without giving him the address

[MuttonTheDragon]

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.

I believe it is high time to return to Morrowind and visit the Last Dwarf.

[IRAMantisShrimp]

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.

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.

I don't have coffee, nor a sweet roll but dammit, it's lore time.

[oliverp]

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.

[mellowyello]

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.

[jpmchausse]

If the emperor from dune and jabba the hut had a child, this dude ate it.

[PlayerSkillFTW]

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?

Every race- “You can’t just create life!”

Dwarves- “hehe spider go brrrr!”
