While the war between these races was likely due to differences in culture and ideals, the Chimer were also trying to get their hands on the lands held by the Dwemer, and this fight escalated in the Battle of Red Mountain. The Chimer eventually started a dispute with the Dwemer, who didn't share their religious beliefs and elevated logic, science, architecture, and other activities above magic and deities, unlike most of the other Mer races. RELATED: ESO: Creepiest Places In Tamriel Meanwhile, Kragenac, a High Priest and Architect of the Dwemer, created three tools to use on the Heart of Lorkhan to pursue acts of science in the name of his race. This happened slightly prior to the Chimer arriving in the region with their army, back when the two races were in a sort of forced peace. The Elder Scrolls: The Dwemer And Their OriginĪt some point during the First Era, the Dwemer found deep beneath the volcano of Vvardenfell an Aedric artifact, called the "Heart of Lorkhan," on which the Deep Ones decided to experiment in order to extract divine power from it to empower their race.

Yet, Todd Howard himself reportedly turned down the suggestion. More recently, fans discovered that Rich Lambert had pitched a very interesting idea to Bethesda about the Dwemer.

The allure of The Elder Scrolls Online resides in the fact that it is the first TES game to ever allow players to explore almost the whole continent of Tamriel, whereas the primary titles tend to focus on a specific region instead. The fact that players are able to explore the continent of Tamriel such a long time before mainline games opened up a lot of possibilities for ZeniMax and Bethesda in terms of storytelling. ZeniMax Online Studios' title is a goldmine for all those fans of the series who are into the stories told, and its setting is very appealing, as the events of The Elder Scrolls Online take place a thousand years before those of Skrim.

The Elder Scrolls Online has steadily retained its players over the years, while also consistently increasing the player base with expansions that thrive on the already prosperous lore of the game and the mainline Elder Scrolls titles.
