Some opposed its use, warning that massive side effects were likely, while the majority of the Tonal Architects, including Kagrenac, and Bthuand Mzahnch who wrote The Egg of Time which downplayed the risks of tampering with the Heart of Lorkhan wished to proceed. It appears that all members of the Dwemer race were simply removed from the world. When the previously untouched Dwemer ruins of Bamz-Amschend in Mournhold were rediscovered, numerous piles of ashes were present next to weapons and armor, on chairs, and in beds, suggesting the Dwemer's bodies were suddenly reduced to ash in some way.
Dwarven ghosts, often encountered in the ancient abandoned Dwemer ruins, aggressive revenant spirits of Dwemer that are present the mortal plane. He returned to Tamriel from his journey in the Outer Realm, and came to discover his people missing.
In 4E , Arniel Gane, a researcher at the College of Winterhold in Skyrim , attempted to recreate the circumstances of the Dwemer's disappearance after obtaining Keening , one of Kagrenac's Tools, but vanished suddenly in the process, strengthening the theory that Kagrenac's use of the tools was the cause of the disappearance. Some scholars still resist the notion that the Dwemer disappeared all at once. A theory also exists that their sudden extinction was caused by their reversal of the usual processes involved in the creation of the Earth Bones, the laws of nature.
Rather than creating the profane by commanding the sacred, such as in Conjuration magic or Daedra worship, they sought to create Anumidium, their own sacred, from the "deaths of the profane". It is implied by the Khajiit the events that led to the Dwemer's disappearance have had something do with time being shattered, and those who have used Numidium have not woken up to the reality of what really happened to the Dwarves. A few theories about the Dwemers' disappearance emerged from the popular Ancient Tales of the Dwemer books, such as the idea that the Aedra and Daedra, offended by the Dwemers' religious skepticism, played a part in the disappearance [33] , or that the Dwemer, frightened by Azura , whose nature they couldn't understand nor control, hid from her sight by adopting Altmeri or Chimeri cultures and would still be alive in modern days.
The Dwemer appear to have been a highly technologically advanced and particularly dogmatic race. Other races have still not cracked the secret behind their metal. Their mastery of steam and geothermal power through tapping into the natural lava sources under Morrowind allowed them to create airships, sentient machines, mechanical observatories, and lighting systems that continued to work for centuries without any maintenance.
Most of their settlements are still inhabited by Animunculi , enchanted mechanical guardians, commonly known as "Centurions" or "Spheres". Additionally, it appears that some Animunculi are capable of interpreting the actions of people around them - in a sense, 'perceiving' their intent - and responding accordingly.
In addition, the Dwemer also appear to have dabbled extensively and somewhat successfully in some of the more divine or arcane arts and sought to harness the supernatural powers of the Divines within their mechanical technology, even keeping an Elder Scroll within the massive underground complex of Blackreach in Skyrim.
Three known varieties of miters exist, with the master miter being worn by the "Tuathumz" or "central pylon" of their Thought Calling system. It contains three finials thought to be broadcast-foci. It has been suggested that, in the last moments before they disappeared, Lord Kagrenac used The Calling to summon all of the Dwemer people and rally them to carry out his plans to transcend the Mortal Plane.
A Dwemer Orrery, as seen in Redguard. Very little is known about Dwemeris , [43] the Dwemeri language, but there have been many attempts to translate it using Aldmeris for reference and comparison. However, the pinnacle of their genius was the creation of a device called a Lexicon , which allowed them to read an Elder Scroll without going mad or blind, as well as acting as a portable information repository, being able to store vast amounts of knowledge within the device, [83] as such combinations of machinery and magic were trademarks of the Dwemer.
The Dwemer were masters of crafting and smith-work, and made many innovations in the art as well. The Dwemer people of this trade forged weapons, armor, tools, and other materials in their day before the disappearance of their race.
This knowledge was contained within the Lexicon. The Dwemer had their own weapons and armor. These weapons and armors were referred to as Dwarven weapons and armor. After the Dwemer race disappeared in 1E , it became difficult for anyone to obtain or forge these artifacts. However, it was possible to craft Dwarven weapons and armor, with the proper knowledge and materials.
If one wished to craft Dwarven weapons and armor, Dwemer artifacts had to be obtained, and then melted down into Dwarven Metal, and then molded into a Dwarven metal ingot. A variety of materials were required to craft Dwarven weapons, which, depending upon the item s intended to be crafted, included Dwarven Metal Ingots, quicksilver , steel , and iron ingots , as well as leather strips and even firewood.
As for the materials required for crafting Dwarven Armor, the materials included Dwarven Metal Ingots, steel ingots, iron ingots, and leather strips, depending upon which item was to be crafted. They were the creators of the Aetherium Forge , a massive, magma-fueled forge that was constructed to handle Aetherium and craft materials made from the luminescent crystal. All three items required one Aetherium Crest , one for each item.
The Dwemer mainly focused on metallurgy, the study of the physical and chemical elements of metal. It is distinguished from the craft of metalworking in that with metalwork, the craftsman is working with the actual components of metal, a process to "create individual parts, assemblies or large scale structures. However, other materials such as clay, paper, and glass, though more easily weaker and destructible, cannot be completely eliminated from the known materials that Dwemer crafters may have used to construct their creations.
The Dwemer also had extensive knowledge of mining, extracting, and smelting the ore they found, as well as incorporating the smelted metal into their weapons, armor, tools, devices, and other crafts. Because of this, they were able to create their own distinctive form of metal , which was easily mistaken for bronze.
Since their disappearance, no other race had been able to successfully replicate the process that was used to create dwarven metal. The only known method that had been successful so far was to melt down existing dwarven metallic scraps and start over from there.
One other natural resource the Dwemer used was Aetherium. Aetherium was a rare natural material with a blue luminescent hue, strong magical properties, alchemically inert, and harmonically volatile. No known process could enchant, smelt, mold, bind, or break it. To the Dwemer, that was far from complicated; the Aetherium Forge was set up beneath Bthalft.
Four Aetherium Shards could be combined to form an Aetherium Crest. Aetherium was the primary material in creating the Aetherial Artifacts. Dwemer boots are described by Raynor Vanos as being "mainly constructed of a flexible material that resembles leather Besides mastering in the other arts and professions of their civilization, the Dwemer also mastered the use of mathematics and science in itself and as an asset to their other professions.
They studied constellations, stars, and planets in order to grasp a better understanding of the outside world. The Dwemer had made incredible observations of the night sky during their existence. As is known throughout all of Tamriel, Aurbis encompasses Mundus, which includes Nirn , its moons, the stars and Aetherius , the realm of the Aedra ; Nirn is the only planet in the mortal plane, also known as Nirn.
The two moons that encompass Nirn are Secunda and Masser , in which Masser is the larger of the two. There is also the Void and Oblivion , which are also immortal realms of the Daedra.
The Dwemer Coin, as seen in Morrowind. Very little is known about the Dwemer economy. One form of currency they used is known as the Dwemer Coin. Almost nothing is known about the government of the Dwemer. One policy is known in Dwemer judicial systems: if one was killed by an Animunculi, the associates of the fallen have the authority to disassemble the Animunculi and take its parts within thirty days. This governing alliance between the two peoples is known as the First Council.
The First Council allied the two civilizations and allowed the two peoples and their cultures to interact with each other. Elder Scrolls Explore. Elder Scrolls Online.

They invented machines and built elaborate underground cities where they researched powers to rival the gods themselves. And then, at a time we are still not sure when, they disappeared. The whole people, all at once. Leaving behind only their works. I see it now. The sealing structure interlocks in the tiniest fractals. Dwemer blood can loose the hooks, but none alive remain to bear it. A panoply of their brethren could gather to form a facsimile.
A trick. Something they didn't anticipate, no, not even them. The elves still living provide the key. Bear you hence this extractor. It will drink the fresh blood of elves. Come when its set is complete. Or he may have erred, and utterly destroyed our race. Perhaps better to wonder why one remains. This is a dwarven artifact beyond nearly all value. A singular instrument of immense power, a tool of impossible import.

We cannot, however, discount more easily destructible materials such as clay, paper, and glass from outside the scope of dwarven craftsmanship, but given the tendency of dwarven design to favor the long-lasting over the fragile, we can safely assume that at the very least metal was a heavy preference.
And the metal used in all so-far-discovered dwarven relics is entirely unique to their culture. Although it can be easily mistaken for bronze - and in fact many forgers of dwarven materials use bronze to create their fake replicas - it is most definitely a distinct type of metal of its own. I have personally seen metallurgists attempt to combine several different types of steel and common and rare ores in order to imitate dwarven metal's exclusive properties, but the only method that has been successful is to melt down existing dwarven metallic scraps and start over from there.
