Conflict erupted between Dagoth and the others, but the exact outcome is unknown. According to "The Battle of Red Mountain," a transcript of the words spoken to a dissident priest by Lord Vivec, Nerevar intended for the tools to be given not just to Dagoth but to Vivec and his other companions as well.īut Dagoth, perhaps driven mad by the tools, demanded that he be the one to solely guard them.

Out of fear that the same fate would befall the Chimer, a dying Nerevar entrusted Kagrenac's tools to Dagoth. In a mystery to dwarf all mysteries (no pun intended), the entire Dwemer race instantly vanished. Nerevar and Dagoth fought hard against such blasphemy, dealing the Dwemer a crippling blow only for the Heart of Lorkhan to be tapped into anyway. A Dwemer named Kagrenac attempts to utilize the artifact's power to grant his kind immortality. Many years after the war's end, the Dwemer find an ancient artifact called the Heart of Lorkhan, a remnant of the Chimer's revered creator spirit. His successes, and those of his close allies like Voryn Dagoth and Vivec, Almalexia, and Sotha Sil, proved instrumental. The Dwemer, largely victorious, ruled the land that would one day come to be called Morrowind for many years, but when the Nords of Skyrim came upon Morrowind in force from the west, the victorious dwarven elves united with their former enemies to defend their turf, forming the First Council.Īt the center of this war was a Chimer named Indoril Nerevar. What is known beyond doubt is that two ancient elven races, Chimer and Dwemer, once warred. Many in-game books tell tales that blatantly clash with those written elsewhere indeed, this is all quite intentional on the writers' part. Morrowind's lore is rich with truths and half-truths alike.
