comes from giants calling them
Though not much is known about Dwemer culture
or their origins, most believe that they are
descendants from a group of isolationist Aldmer
that arrived to what now is Morrowind in the
early history of Tamriel, while some legends say
that they descend from a Chimer tribe. Most of
the history of the Dwemer is centered on war,
as their early history was spent mostly fighting
against the Chimer in territorial, resource
and/or religious disputes. This relationship
changed when the Nords conquered
Resdayn. While most of the Dwemer
territory wasn’t conquered, High King
Vrage the Gifted was a common
enemy to both the Dwemer and the
Chimer which led to an alliance
between Indoril Nerevar and
Dumac Dwarking who united
their people and drove back
the Nords from their land,
creating the first council.
Some Dwemer opposed the
alliance with the Chimer,
which led to some clans
leaving Resdayn: the Rourken clan left for
Hammerfell, while the Kragen clan—
following the Rourken clan—arrived in
Skyrim where they fought against the Nords
for years. After the Nords almost drove the
Snow Elves to extinction, some sought
sanctuary in the Dwemer cities in Skyrim,
however the Dwemer enslaved and forced
them to eat toxic fungi that blinded them,
that after many generations turned them
into the degenerated Falmer found
today in the caves beneath Skyrim.
Eventually, the Falmer rebelled and

CRUEL FATE
The Snow Elf civilization was prosperous and wealthy
until the Night of Tears, where the Snow Elves, for
reasons unknown, attacked the Atmoran settlement of
Saarthal. Only Ysgramor and his two sons survived,
it is said that they went back to Atmora and
returned with the Five Hundred Companions
who wiped out any settlement they found,
signaling the end of the Snow Elf civilization.
Contrary to popular belief, the Snow
Elves were driven from Skyrim during the
reign of High King Harald, instead of
Ysgramor’s reign. By then, the few
survivors turn to their elven cousins, the
Dwemer, for help, whom in turn enslaved
them and forced them to eat toxic fungi
