    In our latest Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim video we delve into the Numidium:
    Dragonbreaks: • The MOST Confusing Con...
    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an open world action role-playing video game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is the fifth main installment in The Elder Scrolls series, following The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 11, 2011.
    The game's main story revolves around the player character and their quest to defeat Alduin the World-Eater, a dragon who is prophesied to destroy the world. The videogame is set two hundred years after the events of Oblivion, and takes place in the fictional province of Skyrim. Over the course of the game, the player completes quests and develops the character by improving skills. The game continues the open world tradition of its predecessors by allowing the player to travel anywhere in the game world at any time, and to ignore or postpone the main storyline indefinitely.

      @Khashon Haselrig they disappeared because Kagrenac was experimenting with the heart of Lorkhan. There is a quest in Skyrim in which a mage from the College recreates that on a smaller scale and he disappears. You can then summon his ,,shade''. Most likely the Dwemer were absorbed by the Numidium or the Heart itself, because the only thing those have in common with the dragonborn is that all are in some sense and degree divine

    I have a theory for TES that relates to the Dwemer. I always questioned why technology has BARELY evolved in Tamriel and I think the reason being is that the people don’t want to end up like the Dwemer. They fear that if they started to advance in technology they would vanish too.

    • @pancakes8670
      @pancakes8670 Před rokem +16

      Probably the most likely answer. In Black Marsh, Argonians fear the idea of technological advancement because they've been taught by the Hist Trees that it is a fruitless effort. The rest of Tamriel probably feel the same way.

    Small correction, Zero Sum is not the opposite of CHIM, rather it is the result of not CHIMing correctly. The Opposite of CHIM is Dreamsleeving, or Dreamselfing. Dagoth Ur is a great example of Dreamselfing.

    • @whoknows7968
      @whoknows7968 Před 5 lety +3

    • @Irishcrossing
      @Irishcrossing Před 5 lety +123

      The name itself it really just a place holder for Anti-CHIM as Dagoth Ur is the only instance as we know to achieve this weird and abstract form. To understand it, you must understand the importance of the Godhead, zero sum, and CHIM. The Godhhead allows us to understand that the world of Elder scrolls is a dream constructed by Anu the Everything. The Dream is made of a code that uses 1s and 0s known as the Dreamsleave.
      The act of Zero summing is weird in the fact that the code goes "I AM I AND I ARE ALL WE" aka 1-1=0 thus the person would "disappear" and any evidence of the person or the chiming in place would disappear. Zero sum essentially makes two versions of the person who tries to CHIM, one that will disappear and one who never tried it in the first place. During the act of being Zero sum, the person is both not disappearing and disappearing at the same time.
      CHIM uses the code "I AM I AND I ARE ALL WE BUT I AM STILL I" 1-1+1=CHIM. CHIM brings you to the understanding by showing you the Godhead and the world itself. The Cosmological world itself is often presented as a wheel with spokes leading to the material world, however those who reach CHIM will see the world in a new perspective, as a tower and not a wheel. Essentially they go from seeing a O to an I. Those who CHIM know they are a small part of a dream but are self-loving enough to not zero-sum.
      Dreamsleaving/Dreamselfing/Anti-CHIM is weird to explain as Dagoth Ur doesn't go into detail of his transformation as he doesn't understand it himself. Dagoth is and was dead, however due to Lorkhan shenanigans, Dagoth was warped into the Dreamsleave itself. Dagoth Ur gazed upon the creation of the world and saw ∞, he did not see the Godhead but merely his being as a connected circuit within the Dreamsleave. Essentially, because of his death, he achieved the code -1(dead)+1(But I exist in the world)-1(But I am not here)=DAGOTH UR. Dagoth ur began to believe that the Dreamsleave was his flesh, which is why the Dreamers dream and why they partake in the Sharmat's "House of me". Dagoth Ur's true plan was one of his own subconscious, to turn the entirety of the Cosmos into DAGOTH UR.

      The Anumidium, is a god, and all TES gods are “uncunscious” in a way.
      As for the fate of the dwemer, they became the Anumidium’s skin, a sort of metaphor for what it looks like.
      They wanted divinity and they got it from fusing with a god. And said god is made to sat NO to existence. They zero summed in a way, probably breaking linear time first and then zero summing so that the Anumidium would negate itself, otherwise you can’t negate existance if you don’t exist. Then the Anumidium negated it’s negation and came back, got destroyed in a way and lost it’s dwemer over soul, becoming the Numidium. The heart also stayed in Red Mountain during these events, as it needed to exist for the Anumidium not to. Then Tiber Septim made the Mantella, a fake Heart of Lorkhan, used the Numidium who now just broke reality because it glitched since it has no programmed purpose now. The they broke it again or it made itself disappear or something. Thereafter Dagoth made Akhulakan, the last Numidium, but never got actibated.

  • @Xolcm
    @Xolcm Před 5 lety +209

    The Numidium represents the concept of "Is Not", negating something's existence. This is believed to be what happened to the Dwemer. The Numidium's disappearance is a result of negating its own existence, but it later negated it's own negation, pushing itself back into existence. This could have been possible because its power source - the mantella - while blasted into Aetherious, still existed. Removing a stone from its tower is different from destroying it. During the Second Era, the Heart of Transparent Law was removed from the Crystal Tower, but when it was returned, the tower was still active. The Numidium's disappearance during the warp in the west was a result of it again negating its own existence, but since its power source has been completely destroyed now, it doesn't have the power to put itself back into existence again, since if a tower's stone is destroyed, the tower can't be reactivated.
    Since Akulakhan was never turned on, it was never more than a giant automaton.
    The Nereverine did recover the Numidium's blueprints, so it is possible that a third Numidium could be built, but powering it is another matter entirely, and that's assuming that the Nereverine didn't destroy the blueprints later anyway.

    Loved the video. Can you do a theory about the tones of the Elder Scrolls universe. You got Tonal Architecture, Shouting, Blade-singing, the humming of the Ancestor Moth and the Dancing on the Tower by the Marukhati Selectives. All these "magics" are unrelated to Sun and stars and therefore normal magic. Are they Dawn Magic? Why are they all referrencing music or sound somehow. Why do they all require some for of trancendence of the user? Why are the main users of all of these Techniques almost gone? Why seem all these techniques to operate outside the influence of the gods, or even trancending them? It is speculated that Lorkhan created Mundus to allow beings to achieve CHIM and that the original spirits can never reach it, for they can't see their own limitations. Maybe these techniques has a relation with that?
    It seems there is a connection here between Dawn "Magic", or whatever you want to call these reality warping abilities and tones, music and vibrations.

      The laws of the world or the "earth-bones" are the gods who completly gave themselves to creation and became one with munds. These basic laws are manifested in subtle tones and chimes. For example shouting is focusing and using these fundermental tones. The dwemer on the other hand dont use but alter and defile the original tone with their tonal architecture in order to fit to their applicatiins.

    • @martijnkwant5314
      @martijnkwant5314 Před 5 lety +14

      @Doubleranged
      Shouting is tonal architecture I belief.. Your bending and changing the very laws of the world itself at will.. I belief the Numidium is taking shouting to the extreme.. And Blade-Singers summon a powerful sword using their own very willpower.. Its effeciency depending on the will of the summoner, a powerful sword singer can create the most powerful swords at will able to cut through anything it touches..
      So I imagine that again is something similiar to tonal architecture.. You have to imagine the entire universe of the Elder Scrolls a song and if you have powerful enough willpower you can try to insert notes yourself instead of just singing along and doing so might bring you great benifits.. It isn't magic, because in a sense your bending reality itself instead of channeling magicka from Aetherius..
      Your last part is interesting though.. I do agree with it.. I always thought the same and the argument can be made from the lore perspective as well.. Since important people like Vivec had similiar perspectives on Lorkhan his "betrayal"..

      they were technologically advanced but it didn't really give them much advantage over the traditional magic. their weapons and armor were very good quality for normal everyday equipment, but it didn't have advantage over the magic being used by other races. Had they focused their efforts on devising ways to conquer the world they likely could have done it, but that's not where their interest was. they were interested in understanding the world so they could escape it. Understand that Mer in general accept that they are trapped here by virtue of Lorkan's treachery. The driving force of Dwemer science and technology was to find a way to overcome what Lorkan did. They saw themselves as subdivisions of one of the original eternal spirits that was tricked by Lorkan. (as a sidenote I suspect that narrative by the Mer is mistaken. I suspect they, and all mortals, are part of Lorkan. Residue left over when the Aedra tore Lorkan asunder. Perhaps this is the real secret to Dwemer technology, they finally understood that Lorkan isn't the great enemy, THEY are Lorkan.)

    I don't think the Dwemer Zero-Summed as Lord Zelfmoord mentioned to Zero Sum is to be erased from past, present, and future in the godhead's dream, but there's still plenty of evidence that the Dwemer once roamed Tamriel, Yagrum Bagarn himself still existed after the battle of red mountain. Falion mentioned hes met the Dwemer, and Arniel Gane's experiment resulted in him being summonable meaning that himself, and the Dwemer are likely in some plane of Oblivion perhaps, theres also a spell that allows the last dragonborn to summon Dwemer machines, conjuration in the elder scrolls isnt creating but pulling an entity from a plane of Oblivion such as the atronachs, so that means if Arniel Gane, and the Dwemer Machines can be pulled from a plane of Oblivion then that means the Dwemer are likely there somewhere perhaps.

    I think that the dwemer were successful in their endeavor and fused with the numidium, essentially becoming its hide and therefore the final component. The Numidium or brass tower is a materialized contradiction, a being which both stabilizes the world and renders it apart. If it should ever reappear and be effectively activated the laws or bones of the earth will shatter completely and the mortal world mundus will be most propably unmade entirely thus achievind the dwemers ultimate goal. From a Nirn-Inhabitant point of view only a fool wishes them back.

    I have a hard time believing that the *entire* race of Dwemer zero-summed (if that is actually what happened to them). The Dwemer were consistently described by their counterparts as arrogant and egocentric, arrogant enough to deny the worthiness of the gods to wield their divinity. I truly do believe that at least some of the Dwemer were able to achieve Chim, and they "vanished" alongside their countrymen who couldn't achieve Chim, though differently. The Dwemer who achieved Chim probably vanished in the same way that Tiber Septim "vanished", a.k.a. they didn't see any point in interacting with Mundus anymore. Seeing as the Dwemer are a more logical race than the races of man, it would make sense that the Dwemer would come to this conclusion much more quickly than Tiber Septim and "vanish" from Mundus in an instance. This is one explanation as to how Falion was able to contact the Dwemer as he ventured through Aetherius and Oblivion.

    The other theory is that when the Numidium (by the way, the original Numidiums "name" is Walk-Brass, just to differentiate it from the other Numidium) was first activated the Dwemer didn't exactly zero-sum, but turned into the "brass skin" of the Numidium; this pretty much means their souls were all turned into one soul, that being the soul of the Numidium, and the Numidium ultimately is an entire race of math wizards constantly arguing with each other. Whenever Numidium is activated, the collective autism of an entire race REEEE's at reality so hard they always cause a dragon break or potentially a zero-sum in the case of C0DA (if you consider C0DA canon of course).
    Also, if you do consider C0DA canon, than the Numidium wasn't destroyed during the warp of the west, but was simply lost in time and will return in the 5th era to cause Landfall, an event where he essentially cause Nirn itself to zero-sum, leaving Dunmer and Khajiits as the only races living on Masser (one of the moons, ei, Lorkhan's corpse) until it is eventually killed by the Dunmer Jubal in a debate, where he basically screams "no u!" so hard it cuts off Walk-Brass's head.

This fits what Vivek says, that he doesn't sense Dwemer's presence in any reality. Thus, Numidium is just a giant robot that got wrecked and forgotten, while Kagrenac simply screwed up and unintentionally annihilated his race misusing the Heart and the tools.

    If the numidium wasn't destroyed. The original pre war white gold concordat would have been torn apart and the numidium stomping into alinor

    The Dwarfs messed with the Heart and disappeared. Took some balls for the Dark Elves to start messing with it after that

    Not really the last living Dwemer, more so the last Dwemer on the mortal plane of Nirn. The rest of the race still yet lives, trapped in another plane of existence, a mirror of the current world where they are subjected to watch the passage of time as their cities and machines fall to ruin.

      Hidden Desire I really really hope Dwemer's return in Elder Scrolls 6 and wipes out other races in an all out war. We can either join them or not. That would be cool.
