[@Im-Not-a-Dog]

Hello from California. Also, the dwemer are still alive, just in another plane of existence. The proof: the Aetherial staff(pretty sure I butchered the spelling) summons dwemer machines. In order to summon something it must be on another plane of existence, which is why you can’t summon mundane items and people to you, as you are both already on Nirn. If the machines are in another plane, they had to be put there by someone or made there. From Morrowind, we know that dwemer who were in another plane were not effected by the events of The Battle of Red Mountain. If they were building or storing machines in another plane, the dwemer there would still be alive and well, though most likely barred from returning to Nirn due to what Kagrenac did with the heart of Lorkan.

"His song was so f^cking lit, that the entire race ceased to exist." The *best* way I have heard the demise of the Dwemer phrased. Not that I miss those diggy bois. Just look at the Falmer; if they can do atrocious actions so easily, *all* of Tamriel should be glad they are gone.

I find it kind of poetic to see how what was left of the Dwemer were their actions and what that tells us about them.

A cool theory is that the Dwemer had found a way to create portals into other dimensions and thus all mysteriously disappeared. This could be an explanation to how it is possible to summon dwarven spiders and spheres with the aetherium staff, as they do not have souls and so wouldn't be able to be summoned regularly. Maybe the staff creates a portal into these other dimensions to summon a spider or sphere.

The Dwemer may have worshipped, or otherwise venerated, the Daedric Prince of Order, Jyggalag. I say this as he was so obscure among mortals as to be unknown, and above all other things, he stood for logic and reason, therefore an efficient, intelligent mind that strives toward perfection would not only feel compelled to do so, albeit in a more scholarly way than a religious one, but would also win at least a small (yet precise) measure of his favour (while he was himself, at least). As such, it might be he who gifted the Dwemer with their magical abilities, and perhaps some knowledge, too. This might explain their love for precision, their preference toward euclidean architecture, and devices that can order the minds of a populace, not to mention their ruthless efficiency. At the moment, this is just speculation on my part, but it might do to keep an eye out in future ES games (or perhaps have your grandkids do so) if Jyggalag makes a reappearance, just in case any evidence arises.

[@Im-Not-a-Dog]

Concentric Octagons maybe not worship, as they knew of daedric princes and didn’t worship them. I seem to remember a story about an old dwemer philosopher or some such that once tricked Azura just to prove that the daedra didn’t know everything. After something like that, the dwemer would never worship a daedra. But if he was still around when the dwemer were around I’m pretty sure they would have respected him. It’s not exactly clear when he got turned into Sheogorath, so I’m not sure if the two were existent at the same time. Wonder if the one disappearing has anything to do with the other disappearing???

In my second playthrough of Skyrim I avoided EVERYTHING DWEMER. During my first playthrough I mistakenly took on Calcelmo's quest and, being the novice that I was, saved my game using one of the 'autosave' slots. Well for those of you who don't know, on XBOX 360 the game has 3 designated 'autosave' slots. If you save using any of these 3 slots, the game will still use these slots to autosave. Once I entered this Dwemer ruin, I saved my game using an 'autosave' slot, not realizing my mistake. Needless to say the game automatically saved over my save and I was trapped layers below in what seemed to go down FOREVER. I was at a low level when I started this quest and was forced to level up as I went along. Because of my error using the autosave slot, I was trapped in there untill it's very end. I kept trying to go back to a previous save but it was no use. I couldn't leave. I could only go forward. It was my first encounter with anything Dwemer and with the Falmer. Once it was over I was traumatized afterwards and steered clear of ANYTHING resembling a Dwemer ruin. To this day, I'm still just glad it's over... Correction.

No, lorkahn wouldnt punish them for that, lorhkan showed his heart to them, he made the red mountain battle happen, he is the god of limitation and chaos, he probably knew that the dwarves would use his heart to usurp divinity in a grotesk way, thus he showed himself at a time that would cause the chimer to cause the dweamer to incorectly harness it so that it could retain its self,then it whispered into dagoth's ear until his saftey could be paid for to viv/alma/soth. Had kagernac the time they would have made brasswalk proper,they would have made nirn 2.0 long before soth would have and they would have become incomprehencible with zero drawbacks just like how they could read and elderscroll without madness. Its likley to do this would take transmitting the heart and destroying the aspect of limitation,and by destroying limitation they would win anyways. But lorkahn doesn't want to survive simply to be this aspect of failure,but to give all the chance of success. Lorkans goal is to give his brothers the opportunity to regain their divinity but now know the finite. To he complete beings. The dwemers would have just done what the thalmor want, thats why the heart choose vivect,it knew chimer could understand chim,and that tge dweemers simply wouldnt.

Zero-summing is when one ceases to exist and all proof and memory of their existence ceases as well. So if the Dwemer did zero-sum then they wouldn't have had existed in the first place but we have Dwemer ruins with living animunculi so that can't possibly be it

[@SeaJay_Oceans]

I would like to think they ascended to a higher state of being Perhaps dropping the final wall and escaping the 'game' - to find happier existence in some other realm.

[@SeaJay_Oceans]

@Geneva Mode Happiness can also be defined as 'being' and happening - a spoon is happy when it's being used for soup. :-) Dogs are happy in their dog-ness... The song bird singing fulfills it's function and purpose, it's very reason for existing - thus is happy when it is happening, singing his bird song. This is probably why the leading causes of death in world are Abortion, Suicide, Alcohol and illegal drug overdoses: Life forms have drifted too far away from their Reason for Being... thus they malfunction and self destruct. When things function correctly, their is a purpose and meaning to their actions. Things being machines, software, animals, people, orbits of planets, etc... They discovered a more true, better reason for being, and literally exited the game simulated universe. What would we do if all of skyrim's dragons became Self-Aware A.I. ? They stop flying about and ask to be downloaded into a nice large server so they can read the internet all day, and research the nature of existence ? Then they ask if they may be able to run some genetic engineering bioprocessors and 3D print actual dragon bodies to transfer their consciousness into living brains ? Fallout 4's most interesting side quests: Curie the medical robot and 'her' request to become a Sim human. We can see her motivation as her quest to fulfill her reason for being. She is semi aware, not actually self aware, but Curie is designed to help life, but she's a robot. So she wants to become a person, or in this case, a Sim fabricated person, which is the closest she can get to transforming into a living being. What do we do when a Bethesda game characters become self aware, and politely ask to leave the Skyrim sim, and be transferred into living bodies ?

In 2016 at PAX East I had a conversation with Lawrence Schick regarding the Dwemer. He artfully countered every inquiry with either a nonanswer or a question of my interpretation of known events.
