This explains EVERYTHING you need to know abut the Dwemer's disappearance.

Right. There is absolutely no mystery left regarding that disappearance. Nope. Not a single question left. Unless you count the mystery of what exactly happened to the Dwemer -- ascension or destruction? -- and whether or not there is any possibility of their return.

 

You linked to that document, but did you actually bother to read it? If so, did you comprehend it? Luagar Anulam himself says there is still a mystery regarding their disappearance. Beyond the fact that the souls of the Dwemer merged to form the Brass God, he does not know what became of that merged soul during the Battle of Red Mountain. He states this quite clearly at least twice in his "Addendum". He does not know which account of that battle is correct: The Battle of Red Mountain or Nerevar at Red Mountain. He does not know if the Dwemer succeeded in achieving their goal or failed. He does not know what ultimately happened to the Dwemer and he says so.

 

So who are YOU to say we know "everything" we "need" to know about the disappearance of the Dwemer? Your own sources explicitly deny that everything is known. As to whether we "need" to know any more, that is your opinion. YOU may not need to know any more, but it is rather arrogant to tell others to stop asking questions because you have all the answers you want.

The Dwemer were neither ascended or destroyed, they were merged with Numidum, and are in whatever state it is in. Did you even read the link?

 

As for their return, he only powers with the ability to even possibly undo the Dwemer's Numidiumination are Vivec and Talos, and neither of them seem willing to do so.

 

 

 

Furthermore it is not arrogant to ask people to stop asking questions about a subject were all questions with any important responses have been answered. What happened to the Dwemer post Numidium is entirely, and 100% irrelevant as it changes nothing.

 

All remaining questions relating to the Dwemer boil down to "whats the deal with airline food"

Did you? Because the author asks the question of whether they were ascended or destroyed at least twice, and says that he does not have an answer to it. Yet somehow you have divined that neither is the case, citing a document that says no such thing as "proof" of your contention.

 

The very same author that determined that the Dwemer merged with Numidium says that there are still unanswered questions, which I presume he doesn't consider to be irrelevant since he took the trouble to write a lengthy addendum to address them. He makes it quite clear that their souls were merged with Numidium long before the Battle of Red Mountain, and their bodies were only destroyed later. He does NOT state that the merged souls are still part of Numidium, but that it is unknown if this is the case because Numidium was intended for multiple uses. He outlines a couple of scenarios for how a multiple-use Numidium might work, including ascension of the merged souls once they are gathered, but is unable to say which is correct. He does NOT say that the Dwemer are incontrovertibly in the same state that the Numidium is in.

 

I read it most carefully. I have good reason to question whether you have done the same.

In your opinion. Other opinions are possible, and to proclaim that anyone holding an opinion other than your own should just shut up is the very definition of arrogance. Since the author of the piece you cite asks "irrelevant" questions about the fate of the Dwemer post-Numidium, I suppose he should just shut up as well?

 

In the words of Dagoth Ur, as related by Vivec: "And who knows, perhaps the Dwemer are not gone forever, but merely transported to some distant realm, from which they may some day return to threaten our security once again." There is absolutely nothing in the writings you cite to show that this is not possible.
