I - Introduction to the Dwemer

The Dwemer of Tamriel, also known as the Dwarves, were a reclusive Elven Clan who lived in Morrowind during the first era. Although they had long bushy beards, they were not short, stubby, Tolkein Dwarves. They were a strain of Mer (Elves) and must be approached on their own terms to be understood.



Above is a sketch of two unknown Dwemer. Notice the beards, as well as the body shape. Dwemer were approximately the same height as humans and other elves. Pictured below and to the sides are statues found in the ruins at Vvardenfell and Stros'Mkai respectively.
