How about dweemer? :D can we use that? or do we have to wait until we can build golems?

Technically, that's dweomer. And that's about dwarven magic / language. :p

If we were to be technical about it, it'd probably be dwarron or dwerron. "Dwarron Empires".

It's spelt dwarven. ;p

Not necessarily.  "Dwarven" is just the spelling popularized by Tolkien- "Dwarfen" is just as valid (especially if you're a Terry Pratchett fan).


Actually, nevermind.  The adjective the game uses is "dwarven," so technically we should use that.

Just don't set your megaproject to be 'Build own god using heart of semi-deceased god.'  The entire  civilization disappearing suddenly would not lend itself to Fun  :P

You fine just aslong as some greedy council of knife ears dont come poking around...

I believe "Dwemer"  refers to the dwarves of the Elder Scrolls game "Morrowind"; they built a demigod golem and either magically self-destructed or transcended this plane of existence.  golems would be a pretty sweet thing to build (like improved war dogs, but no need for rope and are built in a mechanics workshop).  Ok i'm playing a dwemer game--goal: weaponize ghosts, live up to Dwemer reputation as necromancers.

.......stuff all the complex explanations for Elder Scrolls.  That would make everything SO much simpler; "The Dwemer tantrum-spiralled".

Dwemer.  The word is dwemer, and secondly, the dwemer were a race of elves that, because of etymological drift were referred to as "dwarves", which will get you mocked by a few scholars in the Elder Scrolls games, and also by me.

And to think, you could be getting on topic responses if you had only spelt Dwarven right! :P

Seeing as how (most) of them have lost their beards, they seem more like the damned souls of deceased Dwarves, cursed by Armok to forever wander the accursed overbright and live in Elfish harmony with nature.
