      You have to consider Tiber septim was a dragonborne like miraak before he was arrogant, hotheaded and ambitious due to his dragon blood and the philosophy it come with it. The dwemer yes had some of these treats but they believed in logic and that everything works by it even the gods ,magic and anu/padomay so the realization that world is but a dream was to much even for them

      According to official lore dwemer who were in other realms didn't vanish with the rest
      So according to rules and precedence set by the lore it's very possible that there are dwemer left in existence as long as they were in another realm when Kagrenac did his thing
      And since we don't have an official list of every single dwemer in existence on hand - the lore doesn't state there aren't more dwemer left.

    Translation for those who don't speak Dwemeri, aka Nerdish.
    The process of ascending past mortality, or CHIM, is achieved by two things. First, knowing that all of the Aurbis, the universe of TES, is nothing but the dream of a being called the Godhead. Second, one must have the personal fortitude, some might call it arrogance, to believe in spite of this knowledge that they, despite being a part of the dream, *_do_* actually exist as a real and seperate individual. Once these two seemingly irreconcilable facts are understood, one achieves complete power within the dream. Only two known individuals ever accomplished this, and one of them was Vivec. Not the entire Tribunal, only Vivec.
    What Sodrys is saying is that when Kagrenac tapped the power of the Heart, he became aware of the true nature of the Aurbis, and because of the Dwemer's psychic link, they all learnt this information simultaneously. Being a people bound by the strictures of logic, they were unable to reconcile the knowledge that they didn't truely exist with an irrational belief that they did, so they stopped existing.

      @GeorgeThoughts Před rokem +31

      I love this. Basically, if you're in a dream you only gain true control (godhood) if you realise, acknowledge and accept that truth. It's like Lucid Dreaming, basically. The Dwemer realised it, but couldn't accept it.
      Edit: My personal understanding of this has changed a little further. I wonder if the Dwemer did achieve ascendancy by "understanding" that their real world was a dream. They were shown the truth of the Matrix. Trouble is, because they couldn't accept this they literally "willed" themselves out of existence with their newly obtained god powers, because their core belief was that they couldn't be in a dream, and thus it was so, they were no longer in the dream and therefore they disappeared from existence.
      To me, this explains why to achieve god powers you have to simultaneously know that the dream is the truth, and you have to accept it as truth to basically remain in existence.

    • @Lyndonmaman

      @@GeorgeThoughts That's not exactly true. You achieve power in the dream by knowing the truth and believing otherwise in spite of it simultaneously. It's basically the metaphysical equivalent of plugging ones ears and going 'lalalala I can't hear you.'

It is knowing there is no sound, but still believing that it is there. If one believes it is there, one manifests it into existence. If one is able to manifest it into existence, one is able to form, transform and transcend its existence. Now, apply this to one's own existence and one can transcend one's own existence, thereby gaining immortality.

      @@Zebulization Vivec's love was for himself. Chim requires strong emotion and attachment, a fuel of passion to reconnect with the dream after waking, to dream yourself into existence, and with you, many other things should you so will it. In the case of the living tribunal, their love was mostly selfish. Literal arrogance, to look in the face of unreality and proclaim in spite that you live nonetheless. Or perhaps moreso than pride, it was spite itself. To deny not out of care for oneself, but hatred of the original spirit. To make one's very essence out of insult to existing divinity. Perhaps a cocktail of both. Gods or not, the tribunal were still mortals, and mortal minds, believe it or not, are far more complex than those of gods. Gods have but one domain of authority, and one realm to rule, where mortals oversee interconnected lives, and might walk in any land they please.

      Knowing nothing of the lore, that question instills an eerie sense of dread. I wonder if the question posed was literal to their reality, and answering it caused a metaphysical paradox. If the Dwemer sought to use the power of reality governed by something more than logic (a 'dream' that they did not believe in), then if in fact the dream doesn't need the dreamer they suddenly ceased to exist as a result? Rather than the dreamer waking up to the dream ending, the dream continues on and the dreamer ended.

    • @treesuschrist1782
      @treesuschrist1782 Před rokem +29

      @@AnonEMus-cp2mn To a degree yes, you have it correct. Within the ES lore, it has its typical different pantheons of god, hero's, ect. But a slightly more "meta" bit of the lore is the concept of the "godhead", basically the dreamer, to the dream, with the dream being...everything. The worlds, dimensions, gods, and even the characters. When a part of the dream, be it the player characters or one of the many different NPC/written characters understands the understanding that the world is a dream, and that in reality, their own reality is not real, we usually see 1 of 2 outcomes. The first being what happened (or is assumed to have happened) to the dwemer, or dwarves. Which is called Zero Sum. Basically being blinked out of existence. Their cold hard logic being unable to cope with the idea that they are but a small part of a greater dream deep within the mind of an entity so far above them that there would be no hope of coming close, some also refer to this as "true ego death". The 2nd option is what is usually referred to as "CHIM", basically the individual being able to see the dream, and understand what it means, but then refuses the very reality, forcing the idea that regardless of the truth, they are real. While many see this as a defiant stand forcing their own ego over that of reality, it has also been interpreted (as this video applies) as the act of being so attached to aspects of the dream (in this case, loved ones, or a love for all) so powerful that it allows one to refuse the truth of the dream. Once one has both seen the dream, but through one manifestation or another has asserted that regardless of such they are still "real", they achieve chim. This usually entails a long list of powers that basically equate to godhood, if not more powerful then even that. One of the main providences in the game, Cyrodill, was once a vibrant jungle that was a danger for many. But after Tiber Spetim, both a king and worshiped as a god in universe, achieved chim, he not only turned the entire providence into lush rolling countryside ideal for an empire and farming in his own time, but completely rewrote the past of the entire province to that it was ALWAYS lush countryside, and not dangerous jungle. Thats the kinda power CHIM gives. While I know this was alot to read (if you even did) I hope it peeked your interest. The elder scrolls series has alot of lore just as interesting as this and i'd highly recommend it.

      It does make some sense though. Chim is the process where in the user attempts to realize reality. Normally, a individual can't face that they are a part of the Dreamer's world, they are figments. What Chim is, is the result of realizing this truth, and at the same time maintaining one's reality. To adhere to cold logic means to embrace that truth and through that, also forget what makes them alive. Their feelings are as real as their minds, and just as important in maintaining the Self. To face the Dreamer, the Chim-user needs to at once face reality that their thoughts and emotions at the products of the Dreamer, but at the same time not lose grasp that these thoughts and emotions come from them as well and define them. It's because of this failure to reconcile difference, thrust well before being ready into Chim, that the Dwemer failed. They literally erased themselves from all planes. Talos Succeeded however, maintaining himself whilst realizing the Dream, and this is why Cyrodil is a temperate place, not a hot jungle. He modified the dream, and even now so to speak, is a god. This is in essence, making him at once a Aedra, and not a Aedra. he is..more. On a level like Akatosh.

    The dwemer kind of reminded me of a scene from Planescape: Torment where the main character is in a plane where thought affects reality. They can debate with a man and convince him that he doesn't exist, upon which the man promptly disappears. His arguments were just too good, and the man's nonexistance was the only logical conclusion. I feel like that's how it felt for the dwemer. Like "We have definite evidence that we're not real" They were too logical for their own good.

    I think this mod in general is the closest we'll ever get to understanding why the dwemer disappeared to begin with. You can see clues literally everywhere in Skyrim itself. Tonal architecture, the use of aetherium, certain soul gems having sound modifications that seem custom made to manipulate matter on those scales. What I find ironic is that logic and mathematics ended up being their Achilles heel in that regard. I can't wait for this mod to go live! Liked and subbed.🥰

    So, the Dwemer became aware of the Dream and decided to break the 4th wall and question existence itself which ultimately led to their downfall.
    That's like the rare moments when you become aware of your own dream during sleep (not speaking of lucid dreaming) and right the moment you reach that level of awareness, you wake up in your bed.

    • @bullethail3875
      @bullethail3875 Před rokem

      The only thing about lucid dreams like that is that sometimes I've woken up and then chosen to go back to sleep, managing to pick up the dream where I left off. I wonder if there's ever been someone who almost zero sums and then just reverts to a state before Chim. Almost like a conscious defense mechanism of rejecting the truth and saving themselves.

      @@bullethail3875 I've had three dreams like this where I would be half lucid and the moment I reach lucidity, I feel so aware and something in my dream happens that it just erases it completely. I'm conscious that it happens, but every time I try to remember what was said or done, my brain actively fights back against it.
      One especially was a nightmare where I was talking about something ontological with a weird flesh moon and it said something that my brain actively scrubbed out the information that even though I woke up, I was unable to recall it as much as I tried thinking about it. It wasn't forgetting, I feel like I was actively blocking out information.
      Whatever it was, it was self defense indeed.

    Love it. The way I always saw it, its a lucid dreamer effect. You either become a lucid dreamer or you "wake up". Once you know its a dream you only ever have those two options. It's funny though, both the Dwemer and the Chimer/Dunmer are races with egos. The Chimer/Dunmer's religious ego that led them to think themselves to be equal to the gods and the Dwemer's (intelligent) ego that led them to think themselves to be (potentially) better than the gods but it was the Dwemer's own (intelligent) ego that eventually led them to ultimately become Zero Summed.

    My personal theory is that when kagronak struck the heart of lorkhan every single deep elf/dwemer the same exact thing happened to them as what happened to that mage during the college of winterhold side quest where are you receive keening except unlike the gem he used the heart of lorkhan could actually hold a soul, and 100% of the deep elf race was imprisoned within the heart of lorkhan. Then when some of its power seeped out into the surrounding rocks forming the heart stones that were later flung from Red mountain and ended up on solstheim at least some of the deep elves were transferred into the heart stones, which would explain why during the side quest line you can do for master nelloth that lets you join house telvani you can find a journal entry from somebody who has a heart stone embedded in her chest because she was neloth's test subject. The diary is split up into 3 books and in one of them she claims to be hearing the voices of the deep elves in her head, which would certainly be possible if some of them were within the heart stone embedded in her chest
