Wow medieval peoples turn out to be wrong about the nature of the universe. That's never happened before. Aedra are actually just jacked-up ancestor spirits in the first place.

The zerg attacked Nirn so they could get to the Dwemer the protoss seeing the dwemer as valuable allies saved from being assimilated into the swarm, then the dwemer joined the ranks of the protoss and lived with them. Due to their smaller size they wouldnt be good frontal fighters so they get put inside immortals, dragoons, collosus, and carriers.

Maybe the Dunmer are aliens that abducted both the Dwemer and the Chimer

I'm also royally confused about the Dwemer. TES lorehounds explain them as simply being wiped out when red mountain asploded. But all the lorebooks in game say they disappeared mysteriously.

Edit: Are they confusing the Chimer and Dwemer?

Blackreach and the falmer model does make a base for aliens

The Chimer were cursed and turned into Dunmer, you can see what they looked like before in MW (Vehk)

The Dwemer weren't destroyed by Red Mountain, but were destroyed when trying to transcend the Gods (or some such, it's been too long since I was into the Dwemer)

You know, I've read all that stuff at least twice from the books in game, but my sieve memory has real problems making fictional history stay memorized @_@

Oh well, gives me something to read again. Thanks for the synopsis btw.

The chimer were cursed by Azura because the Tribunal were a bunch of arrogant [censored]s.

The Dwemer were trying to become gods, and then they ended up becoming Numidiums golden skin.

Who are the Chimer again?

So the Dwemer were like the Mayans of Tamriel? Let me guess, they also predicted Alduins return? Psh crackpot!

If Arniel's experiment is anything to go by, the Dwemer are probably living in a different plane. Kind of like a parallel universe.

Do you not understand? The Dwemer has escaped! They have taken the Red pill and is walking on the actual Earth.

Even now they are fighting Todd Howard to free the rest of the inhabitants of Nirn from that fabicated world.

Actually no, they don't give a damm about the other races. They are currently doing torture films like SAW 10 (whatever number it is currently on now)

I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if there were extra terrestrials in Elder Scrolls. Fantasy Sci-Fi is a bastard of a genre, and has no place here! The Dwemer finding a way back into our plane of existence is a cool idea though.

The other planets in the solar system are the gods.
This is a mythical universe, a geocentric one too, with Nirn in the middle.
Everything circles around Nirn. The Sun is a hole in the sky through which magic enters the world.
The stars are smaller holes to that magical realm of Aetherius, they are all at the same distance from Nirn and some seem bigger not because they are closer, but because they are bigger holes.
The moons are the body of a dead god.
Beyond the Mundus lies Oblivion and that is what you look into when you look up at night.

Sorry, there are no aliens.
There are a whole lot of gods though, and there even is space travel. By Imperial mananaut, Altmeri Sunbird, or if youre a Khajiit, by climbing.

The Dwemer uncreated themselves, or rather, Kagrenac uncreated the Dwemer unto Numidium.
They became its golden skin between the mundane and the divine, in an attempt to escape the Doom Drum and return to the first brush stroke of Anu and Padomay.
They became part of a big giant stompy robot, and that blew up. Twice.

Thanks for saving me the trouble of typing that in

This may well be the most stupid thing I have ever heard.


And I have watched Fox News.

But have you seen Billy Madison?

Ditto, I just about had a seizure reading that...

Actually, the Dwemer were what we Earthlings call "Assyrians".
I mean, come on:

Haha, I was thinking the exact same thing.

Cool. That proves it then. My theory wins.

Nah Dwemer have free flowing beards Assyrians put to much time in making it look like a block. They are not related.

I agreed with the whole Dwemer mystery DLC thing but not the alien part, I mean would be nice to know what exactly happen to them and is there any of them still alive I mean we're talking about a whole civilization so I wouldn't be surprise if some of them manage to live in seclusion deep under the Dwemer ruin beyond the falmer's reach.

Read Merari his post, it explains what happened to them.

Ergh, I thought the Falmers wiped them out. Last trace of them probably have been digested and turned to Falmer droppings in the Blackreach.
