  1. Hey guys! I had an idea pop up and i was wondering what you would think. A few sources imply the dwarves are alive and in oblivion. And jygaalag has been free, roaming, and unheard of since he was freed. What if jyggalag finds the dwarves. A race of engineers and mathmeticians and tonal architecs interacting with the God of perfect order. He could help them advance and survive and perhaps they build him automatons. From a game play perspective allowing new dwarven automatons, deadric quests, and perhaps the chance to interact with one or two dwarves. Just thought it would make a good specualtion video, You guys could do the ideo much more justice then i could!

  2. That is interesting but I'm questioning why Yagrum is still around. I mean sure he was in an outter realm at the time but I find it very hard to believe he was the ONLY dwarf in the outer realms. Surely others must've been as well and not just him. Also it seems everytime the Brass god is activated it makes a dragon break, like the warpin the west and when Tiber Septium activated it.

  3. you say would a man who made it that high in rank be prone to mistakes? I ask how likely do you think it is the gods of that world would let him do what he aimed? wouldn't it make ore sense that one or more gods sabotaged his experiment?

  4. There are, broadly, two questions here that need to be answered. One, what was the goal, and two, what actually happened. If the answers are the same, then the Dwemer were successful, otherwise they were not. We have only a few scraps of information about this, however.
    1. We know that the effect was caused by tapping the Heart of Lorkan.
    2. We know that the Heart of Lorkan can be tapped safely to produce "gods", such as the Tribunal and Dagoth Ur.
    3. We know the effect was limited to Mundus, and possibly the closer planes of Oblivion, while the single dwarf exploring the Outer Planes was not affected.
    4. We know that ALL dwarves on Mundus/Nirn were affected, no matter the distance.
    5. We know that some dwarven ghosts remain in their ruins, though whether those ghosts predate the tapping of the heart is unknown.
    6. We know that a limit reconstruction of the Tapping of the Heart, preformed upon a normal Soul Gem, turned the scholar into a spectral existence.
    7. We know that even the Daedric Prince of Knowledge does not know what happened to the Dwemer.

  5. I've literally been saying this the whole fucking time. It's blatantly obvious that's what happened, especially if you've looked into what was happening at the time and the purpose of kagrenac trying to draw power from the heart of lorkhan in the first place

  6. Love your content!! But could you increase the volume a bit? I have to turn up the volume pretty loud to hear your (quite pleasant) narration, but then the ads suddenly come on and feel like they shatter my ear drums (headphones are the worst). Keep up the good work though!

  7. Are the Dwemer the "logic armor" protecting their creation from the illogical rules of their mother realm?

    I would liken their new existence to being in the matrix; they have essentially created their own logical microcosm universe. If the ultimate power of a singular deity is to create an enduring realm of their own imagination, the Dwemer succeeded as long as their construct exists.

  8. I imagine it’s harder and harder every time to keep thinking of new ways to talk about the same old lore, and same old games we have all played inside and out; exploring every possible nook and cranny. By now we’ve all done or seen all there is to do or witness in Skyrim, Oblivion (and depending on your age, or the depth of your fandom: Morrowind and the earlier entries). I love your videos, sir, but how many videos are the Elder Scrolls YouTube community going to make on the Deep Elves and their disappearance?

    Harsh words, I know, but I’m only transcribing this comment. The words are not my own, and I apologize for them. This message is brought to you on behalf of the Ayleid Fanclub (“the best lost elven race of the elder scrolls who want more videos made about them instead of their inferior cousins”) yes, that is their full slogan, and no, they do not have an easy time fitting it on t shirts and bumper stickers. Thank you. That is all.

  9. How do you guys acquire all this knowledge of the lore?
    Like, you play different Elder Scrolls games, play a knowledge-seeker mage kind of characters, running around Oblivion/Skyrim/ESO maps acquiring in-game books to be put out as Youtube content?

  10. One thing that this brings up is the Godhead, and I keep wondering something: is the Godhead literally just a sleeping person and the Aurbis a literal dream, or is the Godhead more of a metaphor for something else? I once heard another idea that if one achieves CHIM and then Amaranth that they leave their home universe, fall asleep, dream up a new universe and then turn into that universe (effectively dying to become a new reality).

  11. My guess: activating the numedeon created multiple realities (different timelines), all crushing togeter in a dragon breach… All but one, a timeline where dwemer exist but the divine beings do not. The dwemer are trapped in their own reality of pure science. Their paradise.

  12. I think it makes perfect sense that the Dwemer were either fused into the Numidium or just got plane-shifted into some other reality/plane of oblivion. The idea of the entire race zero-summing in an instant is interestingly horrifying, but also feels like there should be at least some more survivors if this was caused by an error/punishment
