One of the more popular theories posted by actual devs is that they all became part of Numidium. It was just rushed because the Chimer were about to smash the door down, and it wasn't ready for its intended purpose, to turn all the Dwemer into a single new God. Which is why, with a proper power source, the Numidium is capable of doing some real crazy poo poo, but not actual divinity.

All that's really known is they were there, Kagrenac did some cutting and smashing of the Heart of Lorkhan with Keening and Sunder, and then they all vanished, beyond even the knowledge of the Tribunal after they became gods.

My main mer baladas demnananmanavi gives a wordy rear end explanation for what happened to the dwemer, and there's that quest where you "solve" it for the mages guild. They're both pretty incomprehensible though.

E: If you play through the main quest of ESO and its Imperial City expansion, you can technically say that there's 2 more events that prevented the Daedra from invading, even if people don't consider them to be canon.

The first is the PC going super sayian on Molag Bal with the help of Meridia, severely diminishing his power for nearly an era.
The second one is helping a member of the Dragonguard become a conduit for the power of Akatosh through the Sublime Brazier, which is essentially a bigger and more powerful Dragonfire.



The running theory is that the Ansei, the warrior-monks of ancient Yokuda, used the power of the Shehai, or sword-singing, to summmon a gigantic sword that destroyed the majority of the continent due to a civil war between the Yokudan royalty and themselves.

I think the idea was that they used said magic swords to literally split the atom and destroyed the continent in a magic nuclear holocaust. Unless that's a bit of fan wankery from TR Hammerfell mod, which is possible, but I think it's at least MK approved.

Hammerfell, possibly with some High Rock, seems like the most obvious choice imo. Not as crazy as Summurset or the Valenwood but still with a strong theme, plus a built in power struggle between the Thalmor and Empire.

I just miss the faction variety from Morrowind, like yeah it had the Fighter's Guild, but there was also House Redoran and Imperial Legion, plus Imperial Cult if you wanted to play a Crusader/Paladin type of character

Not to mention secret factions/long quests like the Twin Lamps, finding all the Propylon Indices, hidden Daedra, etc.

If C0DA is to be believed, Numidium gets sent in to a time warp after Tiber Septim uses it to destroy the 2nd Aldmeri dominion. It comes back (a la Alduin) in the 5th era and proceeds to destroy mankind and erase the Altmer. The Nerevarine, born again, appears riding Akhulakan and delays it long enough to allow the Dunmer and Khajitt to escape to the moon in a spaceship.

That's dumb as hell. And whatever happened to tatterdemalion?

I see the Forsworn themselves as being something akin to ISIS; that is, they were founded on a legitimate grievance against imperialism, but they long ago lost the support of the people they purport to represent, and their religion is a heresy that most Reachmen wouldn't recognize.

So uh in short we should kill the Forsworn and kill the Reachmen and kill the Jarl and liberate the silver mines in the name of the proletariat.

Orc strongholds = ypg cantons. Gonna name my next character pisspig

There is also the fact that the venue on which Avellone chose to vent his frustrations with Obsidian's management was a forum chock-full of Nazis.

Yeah, i dont give a poo poo if avellone wants to spread dirt on fergus, but he could have chosen a better venue than a nest of reactionary euronazis just because they fawn over him

I was really looking forward to Christ Avelone going MGTOW or getting redpilled after his tedious writing was edited. Not posting on an even nerdier forum. You really let me down goons. Do better

So do you still love making lovely 'n****r wiz' jokes or did you get past that eventually

yeah hermaeus mora had already claimed miraak's soul in their deal so we already have an example of akatosh not doing poo poo

to be fair we can probably count on one hand of the aedra actually doing poo poo cause they're useless

They're not *my* ancestors, that's for sure

That lady on the side of the road in Morrowind, near Pelagiad, who wanted you to give a glove to a bandit, looked good for 2002.

My Morrowind strategy guide even remarked that she "has a young Judy Garland thing going on", and the author was right.

that guide is so fun to read. also lets you appreciate the sheer disgusting amount of weird hidden quest lines and treasure in es3
