A mod that is not only lore friendly, well voiced, refreshing, and provides a very likely answer to what happened. This is fantastic!

[saberwolfalpha]

When faced with such a realization when receiving divinity, Talos answered:”therefore I am” and the Dwemer answered:”therefore I am not”

[rachdarastrix]

Dragonborn: "What's that weird thing on your head?"
Sodrys: *Takes that personally*

[Lyndonmaman]

Translation for those who don't speak Dwemeri, aka Nerdish.

The process of ascending past mortality, or CHIM, is achieved by two things. First, knowing that all of the Aurbis, the universe of TES, is nothing but the dream of a being called the Godhead. Second, one must have the personal fortitude, some might call it arrogance, to believe in spite of this knowledge that they, despite being a part of the dream, *_do_* actually exist as a real and seperate individual. Once these two seemingly irreconcilable facts are understood, one achieves complete power within the dream. Only two known individuals ever accomplished this, and one of them was Vivec. Not the entire Tribunal, only Vivec.
What Sodrys is saying is that when Kagrenac tapped the power of the Heart, he became aware of the true nature of the Aurbis, and because of the Dwemer's psychic link, they all learnt this information simultaneously. Being a people bound by the strictures of logic, they were unable to reconcile the knowledge that they didn't truely exist with an irrational belief that they did, so they stopped existing.

The Dwemer logically came to the conclusion of the dream, when asked to believe in the lie they chose logic and truth. This led to their undoing, the Dwemer mocked divinity while seeking to harvest its power and thus they were forced to choose between believing or not

[SekiberiusWelkesh]

It's actually a little scary how much that sounds like the actual voice actor.

I remember reading that love (even a selfish love) was required to achieve Something about stepping outside of reality and seeing that you don't exist = zero sum you loved enough (lived for more than yourself) that you could will your persistence even though you don't exist.

It's how Talos did it, I guess the Dwemer were too logical (impartial/detached) for their own good!

[pandapancakes]

Asking my father why he disappeared out of my life

[yannkam]

During the whole video I was like "I only wanted to ask why are you wearing the weird thing on your head"

[Cousin-Eddy]

So, artificial trancension machine was activated in the heat of battle and an entire species failed the vibe check?

[treesuschrist]

They were asked "does the dream still need the dreamer" and were found wanting. For all my technical complaints i have about the elder scrolls games, the lore really is something special.

[dantobarbarian]

So the dwemer could not handle being in a "dream" and being unreal so they disappeared? While those dunmer gods and talos were able to believe in the dream?

[filipvadas]

Interesting. So the idea is that, because of the Dwemer pursuit of pure cold logic and their detachment, they were incapable of achieving CHIM and so, when the heart of Lorkhan went haywire, they just ceased to exist because of it.

[UtubeHtr]

So basically they believed so much into their own bullshit the heart allowed the tribunal to ascend simply because they felt they would over the dwemer logically rationalizing a way to.

In simple terms the tribunal had the resolve to risk and sacrifice anything where the dwemer never would.

The heart of lorkhan responds to heavy risk heavy reward mentality.
Makes sense after hearing out daggoth's explanations;
He believed soo hard into his own bullshit it became reality soo much so that the heart allowed daggoth to will himself back into existence as a physical phantom who was made aware of our world, the real world, the ones who made the game itself.
Thus he was labeled a false dreamer.

[Arcane]

That's pretty cool how she is acutely aware of the Question and Answer for Chim, but does not ask it out loud knowing she, and her race, can never answer it the way the Tribunal can. 10/10 attention to detail lore mod

[Andy-suwg]

Lorkhan gave love to his followers (the mer can kiss my butt with the whole being tricked, it's their fault if they can't enjoy the little things in life), the Dwemer understood so little about love that in the end, reality itself shattered them. Do you not understand why love is fundamental to achieve enlighment in all religions? Because it's the only force that is capable of keeping you alive in the face of oblivion, in the face of forces uncaring and beyond your understanding. That's the point, if you have nothing and care for nothing, you become nothing. A world of sociopaths, narcisists and greedy bastards, will burn itself into nothing.

You've got funny words magic lady

[AkiyamaKatsuko]

This mod is looking really good. I can't wait to see how it will turn out.

[swegawsedfgaz]

So the Dwemer are essentially the Cult Mechanicus from Warhammer 40k. I am Sold.

Imagine big dwarven research mommy stepping on you with high tech metal boots 🥵🥵🥵
