Just realized. The crest key was divided into four parts, one sent to each kingdom, so that only a united dwarven race could access the forge. After the Aetherium Wars, they decided that Dwarves must never again fight, sealing the forge such that it could only ever be accessed by a united dwarven race, or when the four kingdoms came together in a time of greatest need. Surprised they didn't try to open it while Kagrenac was doing his thing.
@Toori Baba Well, none of their immortal asses are anywhere anybody can see them! Maybe they still exist somewhere, but not in a way that effects the world at the time the games take place
@Toori Baba It's meant to be vague just what happened. Are the dwemer all dead? Are they immortal? Are they on another plane? Maybe something we can't even comprehend? Who knows.
@@nicholasmorgan7609 actually there is a slight possible explanation. though its still very vague as to what happened it does offer 2 possible conclusions. firstly the dwemer achieving kim, or understanding who and what they are and being able to accept that part of their reality, that reality being they are characters in a game or as most lore keepers say, part of a divines dreams but still very much their own beings. its rumored that the dwemer were able to realize this and accept it which when achieving kim their bodies go to another plane of existence just like we see with Tiber Septim/TALOS. to achieve the opposite of kim at least as far as i know is that your body is so overwhelmed with the knowledge that it cant contain it and will disintegrate just like we see with the guy who read hermaeus Mora's book. im not very savvy on the lore so this part is beyond me. but if these two statements are true, then its more than likely that the dwemer achieved kim and went to another plane, we know they were smarter than every other race in the game, we know that they were far more advanced than any others also and even built their own god though that wasn't of their own choice. either way its not a huge mystery as to what happened since we know everything up until the battle of red mountain. once their god was activated all that remains to be answered is which conclusion did they accept? and im betting money they achieved kim, but only Bethesda knows, and Bethesda aint talking.
Lost to the Ages was one of my favorite quests in Skyrim, even though I really hate dwemer ruins (and Blackreach). but i kept going, for Katria. She was vindicated. When she said goodbye, i actually felt sad.
Daniel Lehr maybe via the use of an elder scroll? Isn’t that how the Dragonborn learned dragonrend in a flashback? I just can’t remember if it was with an elder scroll or not
Liam Donovan It was indeed. Its been a bit but if my memory serves. You got the scroll, and had that moth guy use it, or teach you to use it. And you jump back to the fight against Alduin. Edit.... You know you're a game nerd when your phone auto corrects Alduin to Albion.
Ah, Katria, the best written NPC in all of Skyrim. I felt sad once her quest was over. A massive thumbs up to anyone wanting to play "Lost to the Ages" quest.
I been playing skyrim since its release in 2011, and just about a week ago, I barely saw this quest. I like Katria, I was saddened when the quest was over. But I finally was able to use that weird pointer thing near the shack. It was the best quest in all of skyrim. I finished this quest in one setting. It was fun solving the puzzle. I got the opening on the first try.
I thought the same. That was one of the best parts of Skyrim; it was a fun quest chain, an interesting story, and an actually *believable* character (aside from the fact she's dead). Definitely one of the most memorable events of the game.
@@firstnamelastname7124 That's bull, I hope there's a mod that makes her appear there. I know there's one that does it for people you kill or friends that die in battle or something
Its like the orcs with malacath... makes you wonder if its savngarde the same as an oblivion realm, and the true realm is Aetherius (where the gods reside I think (spelling)
You can meet Dreth as a random encounter.If he sees u with aetherium he will attack on sight so better hide it,have a nice chat,THEN STAB HIM IN THE BACK FOR SOME POETHIC JUSTICE.
Or just kill him in self-defense with the overwhelming power of the Lord stone and the Atronach stone put together. And Unrelenting Force. And your Stalhrim sword enchanted with both chaos damage and frost damage. (My character was overpowered when I first got this encounter, so the only problem I had was that he kept trying to stay out of range, so I had to chase him a good distance. He got beheaded.)
Really? I've been walking around with the Aetherium Crown for at least a month of in-game time and never run into him. Great to hear I still have more new stuff to look forward to in the game!
did you catch the last name of Katria's assistant? Dreth. the last name of the prisoner you were with in Oblivion was Dreth as well.might be something deeper here.
just an added info. did ya all know that bfor the addition of Dawnguard Dlc, the ruins of bthalft is just an empty place. nothing down there and its just also a bandit den. well, who knew that it plays a big part in this quest now. and bfor going to the forge, u will be greeted by a tree. quite interesting, isnt it?
The crown is the only choice if you're intelligent. having a plus 35% increase of whatever skill you're working on allows you to get to 100 at a much lower level. which allows you to pump the game up to master at a much lower level.
I don't think I'll ever be as amazed by another game for as long as I live, than I am with Skyrim. It STILL amazes me to this day. And I never get sick of playing it.

FudgeMuppet Hello, my friend! If you seek knowledge about mighty Talos, you have most certainly come to the right person. In mortal life, Talos was a Nord possessed of unmatched tactical skill, limitless wisdom and the power to see into men's hearts. Talos mastered the power of the Voice, and with it he united the lands of men into a great Empire. In southern lands, he was known by the name Tiber Septim. Here in Skyrim, we honor him by his proper Nord name. So great was his reign in life, when he ascended to the heavens he was made lord of the Divines. If you want to know more, I'm sure you can find any number of tomes on the subject.
kyukyu he said he doesn’t want to because he doesn’t like mythical games which sucks but aw well maybe if we keep bugging him but if he doesn’t want to we shouldn’t because when someone does something they don’t really enjoy it would make for pretty low quality videos from him (sorry for writing a essay)
Great video on a great quest! Katria is such a compelling character, I really felt sorry for her. May she feast in the Hall of Valor beyond the end of times.
Bethesda needs to make a game that covers all Tamriel and set within its ancient world that uncovers the full story of both the Dwemer and the Aylied histories
I always choose the crown and if anyone needs to know how to encounter Taron Dreth just wander the roads of Skyrim or occasionally check the Silver-Blood Inn in Markarth. He’s a random encounter so it can take a while but it’ll happen. And he has hired bodyguards that go down like punks but he uses fireballs so as long as you have potions or are just at a high enough level that fireballs do almost nothing you’ll pretty much just murder him. Btw, his robes are actually really good if you’re a destruction wizard like me so don’t forget to loot him!
I've done this quest four times in the last month alone - it's one of my favourite. Great dungeons, story, you get a great weapon early on, and an awesome reward at the end. Oh, and be smarter than me: make sure you and/or your follower can do frost damage for the final battle against the Forge Master. Also, have some fire resistance gear. Otherwise, that battle takes a long time, playing on Legendary difficulty.
Makes me want to make a character obsessed with the dwemer especially since they have so many good quest like the one that let's you upgrade dwarven armor permanently
Am I the only one who was really disappointed in the forge when they first got to it? With their hard earned aertherium shards, and puzzles behind them? The lore of how dangerous, epic, and powerful the items are, reading about the magnificence and grandeur of the lost dwarven cities, and here in Skyrim, the heart of their power. The Aetherium Forge! yea!... wait.. what? seriously? I get a fking staff of trash, yay? Even for a conjuror lets be real.. there are better spells and even staffs you'd rather be using when conjuring your army of Deadra.. Then you get a crown of "well that'd of been nice maybe 30 levels ago".. none of the standing stones are worth crap anymore once you actually get to this place. Then you got the shield of "lol..." Again, you can enchant better shit than that. Nice little gimmick shit on all 3 of those items, but utterly useless in the grand scope of things... THIS is what the dwarvens destroyed themselves over? A few weak ass trinkets? Fuck this.. That was my response anyway to finding the forge lol
Right? like even the other standing stones that sound great, even before you get so powerful you don't need then anymore, their spells dont' work in all the situations you'd actually use it for. Need to paralyze your opponent? oops, sorry he's either too high a level, or a boss who's immune, sorry! Unlock a Master lock once a day? yay? I'd rather unlock it myself and get a huge chunk of exp... 100% faster magicka regeneration wooo oh wait, it also makes me 100% more vulnerable.. no thanks... higher levels my magicka regenerates so fast I dont need it anymore either. The only standing stones that are ever helpful or nice are the exp bonus ones for early leveling, and the Lord stone that gives you damage reduction across the board. But yea by the time you get to the forge.. who needs those anymore?
I always chose the crown and used the atronoch stone for spell absorption and the ritual stone. Kill everyone and then have a dead army...hated humanoid thralls, though. They complain too much. I usually got a mod to get more uses out of the ritual stone rather than once a day...like 3 times I think is how I used it. It’s a nice power to have. You can even raise giants and some really odd things.
fun fact, when steel is melted down and recast its propertys change back to inferior cast iron. now considering that all dwemer weapons and armor in tamriel are likely recast from melting down dwemer metal scraps its very likely that the original dwemer metal as forged by the dwemer through lost metallurgy techniques is equal or maybe even superior to 4rth era ebony forging and the dwemer equipment the player can make is just made from dwemer cast iron
I love your videos I've been enthralled by the elderscrolls since morrowind on my original xbox way back when and all the insight and information on the lore and mechanics of the series is always a wonderful time sink. thank you!
I just finished this quest last night. one of my favorite quest so far. I played this game for 3 years yet never touch this quest until last night. awesome video I love the lore!
The Dwemer are awesome, it'd be amazing to have a flashback mission in ESO or TeS6 showing some battle, possibly the battle of red mountain? We've seen the alieids so it's possible
From Morrowind to Skyrim I have always loved delving into Dwemer ruined cities and collecting some nice items to use as decor and trophies. I was bummed they didn't have Dwemer ruins in Oblivion. But I did enjoy the Ayleid ruins in oblivion all the same.
+e1123581321345589144 No,there were Dwemer in Hammerfell.The reason it’s called Hammerfell is because a Dwemer chieftain threw the hammer volendrung and declared he would make his home where the hammer fell.
You've never run across the apprentice? I have, through several play-throughs. He has a little gang of Mercs with him and he tries to silence you and take the item you just forged.
really the crown is the best. but i can see how the other could be good also. shield is handy for crowd control, taking enemies outta the fight for a bit. the scepter is cool just for being able to summon dwemer spheres.
I have over a thousand hours in this game and I can say it is overrated. The game is fun, but has a lot of annoying flaws that would kill it if not for the mods. The same with Fallout games, Bethesda's half games are always being saved by its community. Definetly not one of the best, but one of the most loved by the crowd.
@@orangejuiceenthusiast8364 Oblivion is good and it had some stuff I like that Skyrim doesn't but Skyrim is definitely more well rounded without all the bugs of Oblivion also the story is kinda tedious with just closing like 20 Oblivion gates. Morrowind is cool but the graphics make it borderline unplayable along with the random lag and bugs. Skyrim is the best of the three but not by much.
@@dokscy44 anyone who wastes a thousand hours of their life playing a single video game DOES NOT have the ability to call it over rated. Clearly it is the best game you have ever played. I shudder to think how many hours you have sunk into whatever game you think is the best.... drink some orange juice go outside. 😂
Yeah the circlet is about the only thing that makes sense. Making your enemies aetherial is pointless since you could just as easily do it to yourself with a shout, and summoning a sphere can't be better than a permanent follower or some other conjured up to fight with you.
PLEASE!!! There is a perfect modded build to go with this video! Using your usual starter set of mods, along with the Aetherium Armor and Weapons Compilation by lautasantenni would make for an awesome character
I just did the quest with Katria. Funny thing is i've been level 80 for years because I never really play anymore. Just found her randomly when I loaded up the game 2 weeks ago. And then I find this video randomly wtf :).
Currently need to be studying but actually going on a FudgeMuppet Elder Scrolls binge. Why can't my Human Factors and Ergonomics exam just be all about the Dwemer ?
Lately no matter how many times I set off the trap to get to the aethrium shard in the place that you meet katria the dwarven centurion will not come out but the ballistas will keep on getting reloaded.
There is a way to meet the apprentice. He recognizes the artifacts and with his guards they attempt to kill you to prevent you from testifying against them. Ooor because he’s mad with power over aetherium too
Jenasa: “The Dwemer were also called ‘dwarves’ although there is no evidence that they were any shorter than other elves” while standing between a foot tall Dwemer bench and a five foot long Dwemer bed.
I had a small theory that the Dwemer were still alive. In black reach there is that huge yellow light...ball thing. When you use your shout, a dragon can emerge. So I thought that maybe something big happened (war?) causing the Dwemer to create the ball which would preserve them until safe to return. The dragon emerges because you spoke it's language. So perhaps the dwemer are inside, waiting for someone to come and release them.
Hello FM guys. I liked this quest, as it dealt with Dwemer mysteries & helping out a 👻 tied to our realm by unfinished business. I didn't mind the final treasures too much (chose 👑), but it was slightly disappointing. I also wish there was 1 final quest to obtain enough aetherium to make 1 full suit of armor. I have the SE edition on Xbox One, though, so not sure if any related mods are available there. Great job, as always. Love your content.
Fun Fact: if you use the Become Ethereal shout and cross the lava in Aetherium Forge, there's a hidden chest on the other side on a piece of land
Really?
@@connorross4571 Yep! I think you'll have to have at least 2 words for the shout to make sure it lasts you long enough to cross the lava (unless you're playing with mods), but it's definitely over there

I'd rather unlock it myself and get a huge chunk of exp... 100% faster magicka regeneration wooo oh wait, it also makes me 100% more vulnerable.. no thanks... higher levels my magicka regenerates so fast I dont need it anymore either.
The only standing stones that are ever helpful or nice are the exp bonus ones for early leveling, and the Lord stone that gives you damage reduction across the board. But yea by the time you get to the forge.. who needs those anymore?
Eternally Angelic but what about the Atronach stone...
I always chose the crown and used the atronoch stone for spell absorption and the ritual stone. Kill everyone and then have a dead army...hated humanoid thralls, though. They complain too much. I usually got a mod to get more uses out of the ritual stone rather than once a day...like 3 times I think is how I used it. It’s a nice power to have. You can even raise giants and some really odd things.
Sara you do realize you could have just unequip the crown and than reequip it and reuse the power?
If you stored ritual on the crown i mean.
fun fact, when steel is melted down and recast its propertys change back to inferior cast iron.
now considering that all dwemer weapons and armor in tamriel are likely recast from melting down dwemer metal scraps its very likely that the original dwemer metal as forged by the dwemer through lost metallurgy techniques is equal or maybe even superior to 4rth era ebony forging and the dwemer equipment the player can make is just made from dwemer cast iron
I love your videos I've been enthralled by the elderscrolls since morrowind on my original xbox way back when and all the insight and information on the lore and mechanics of the series is always a wonderful time sink. thank you!
I just finished this quest last night. one of my favorite quest so far. I played this game for 3 years yet never touch this quest until last night. awesome video I love the lore!
The Dwemer are awesome, it'd be amazing to have a flashback mission in ESO or TeS6 showing some battle, possibly the battle of red mountain? We've seen the alieids so it's possible
Elder scroll 76...
The biggest liar in the history come on man........ Come on
The biggest liar in the history get out of here with your false promises and half ass games
It would’ve been interesting to see what you could’ve done with Atherium if you were able to take it to Skyforge, or the Lunar forge.
From Morrowind to Skyrim I have always loved delving into Dwemer ruined cities and collecting some nice items to use as decor and trophies. I was bummed they didn't have Dwemer ruins in Oblivion. But I did enjoy the Ayleid ruins in oblivion all the same.
I pray to Odin that we will see more of the dwemer history in TES6
Not likely. Es6 looks like Highrock or Hammerfell. No Dwemer there
+e1123581321345589144 No,there were Dwemer in Hammerfell.The reason it’s called Hammerfell is because a Dwemer chieftain threw the hammer volendrung and declared he would make his home where the hammer fell.
@Random Guy
ha!, didn't know that.
This is my favorite quest in the game. I usually try holding off doing it but the items are good to have early if possible, I usually get the crown.
in all my years of skyrim I have never seen this place, and I can say I've played this game A LOT .
*Meanwhile* “Let me guess, someone stole your sweet roll?”
That transition from thumbnail to video was so smooth.
Thankfully the subtitles were on, it's quite hard to hear Katria :S
I didn’t know about this quest before when I started playing, so I was very glad to stumble upon it.
I've played skyrim so many times and never knew this
So Dwemers are an ancient race of cryptocurrency miners?
You've never run across the apprentice? I have, through several play-throughs. He has a little gang of Mercs with him and he tries to silence you and take the item you just forged.
Really?
really the crown is the best. but i can see how the other could be good also. shield is handy for crowd control, taking enemies outta the fight for a bit. the scepter is cool just for being able to summon dwemer spheres.
To think a game still gets so much love... 7 years after its release. Pretty cool!
OMG - I have never found that Zephir bow in that quest - Need to go back right now!
I just started this quest this morning lol good timing
2011 game and still one of the best
Jeff Cavaliere's Red Marker
inb4 the morrowind and oblivion fans start jacking over their opinions here.
lmao never played so idk
I have over a thousand hours in this game and I can say it is overrated. The game is fun, but has a lot of annoying flaws that would kill it if not for the mods. The same with Fallout games, Bethesda's half games are always being saved by its community. Definetly not one of the best, but one of the most loved by the crowd.
@@orangejuiceenthusiast8364 Oblivion is good and it had some stuff I like that Skyrim doesn't but Skyrim is definitely more well rounded without all the bugs of Oblivion also the story is kinda tedious with just closing like 20 Oblivion gates. Morrowind is cool but the graphics make it borderline unplayable along with the random lag and bugs. Skyrim is the best of the three but not by much.
@@dokscy44 anyone who wastes a thousand hours of their life playing a single video game DOES NOT have the ability to call it over rated. Clearly it is the best game you have ever played. I shudder to think how many hours you have sunk into whatever game you think is the best.... drink some orange juice go outside. 😂
What the hell. I've finished Skyrim multiple times and never knew about any of this. You're a good story teller by the way.
Yeah the circlet is about the only thing that makes sense. Making your enemies aetherial is pointless since you could just as easily do it to yourself with a shout, and summoning a sphere can't be better than a permanent follower or some other conjured up to fight with you.
Aetherium crown is the best item.
Notice how stalarium and Atheruem are a lot alike? Just one is physical and the other is magical. Imagine melting the two into a weapon.
*Evil laugh*
Got the piece in the storeroom after wondering by after an alternate start. Got in and had no idea what it was.
0:55 ,,Places like Markarth have been repurposed to suit modern day Nedes" - beautiful pun :D
This man’s voice kills me to sleep the same way Jim Dale used to reading Harry Potter when I was a kid.
What good story telling and camera work
Good work!!
I remember starting this quest line back then. I believe I only got half way though before getting sidetracked :/
I couldn't find on of the pieces and gave up
PLEASE!!! There is a perfect modded build to go with this video! Using your usual starter set of mods, along with the Aetherium Armor and Weapons Compilation by lautasantenni would make for an awesome character
Imagine if the chimer won the war by using an elder scroll ? Maybe they sent the dwemer into the future like the blades did with alduin
I thought the Deathbrand armor was strong until I battled some leveled castle vampires
When I was first playing Skyrim I avoided dwemer ruins cause I knew I would die a lot so I just didn’t go in them
Being a lore junky, I cant get enough knowledge about myths, legends, and anything TES related. Consider that sub button hit :)
This is The only channel that actually makes great Skyrim videos.
Thank you so much for enjoying what we make :D
The tonal resonators don't need the spell to be from the destruction school. I've activated them with Magelight.
I just did the quest with Katria. Funny thing is i've been level 80 for years because I never really play anymore. Just found her randomly when I loaded up the game 2 weeks ago. And then I find this video randomly wtf :).
Currently need to be studying but actually going on a FudgeMuppet Elder Scrolls binge. Why can't my Human Factors and Ergonomics exam just be all about the Dwemer ?
Lately no matter how many times I set off the trap to get to the aethrium shard in the place that you meet katria the dwarven centurion will not come out but the ballistas will keep on getting reloaded.
These videos put me to sleep every night. Very good bedtime stories
Ohh that melody,Perfect World :D
You can actually meet and talk to the last Dwemer, deep under the mountains of Vvardenfell
You can get the shield, you can get the staff, or you can make the right decision
There was 1 Dwemer still alive in Morrowind, though, he was infected by Corprus. There was also a Dwemer ghost.
You can actually find taren dreth and kill him in game. For me he was near riften .
Thank you for these. I'm planning on running a D&D campaign set in Skyrim 200 years after the game and your videos have been an invaluable resource.
Thanks for this video - it's really above and beyond.
1:50 hang on, hang on, "The Banoffee Mountains", OK get me a map i'm going
There is a way to meet the apprentice. He recognizes the artifacts and with his guards they attempt to kill you to prevent you from testifying against them. Ooor because he’s mad with power over aetherium too
Knew it was going to be great once I saw the title. Love you guys. :)
With some bulking up, Aetherium could have rightly been a standalone game unto itself.
It was a pain in the bitt but still one of my favourite side quest
etherium is a crypto
Lol
Edor Prime Aetherium is not a crypto
Got a mpd to keep Katria as a follower. Best NPC ever.
it would be cool if bethesda made a 1 hour documentary style movie on the dwemer and what was going on in the atheruim war
Hi thanks for your vid it’s amazing
Thank you for watching!!!
Jenasa: “The Dwemer were also called ‘dwarves’ although there is no evidence that they were any shorter than other elves” while standing between a foot tall Dwemer bench and a five foot long Dwemer bed.
Fun fact: if you loot her body and take her armor,she will say "you could have left me with some dignity" or along those lines.
I had a small theory that the Dwemer were still alive. In black reach there is that huge yellow light...ball thing. When you use your shout, a dragon can emerge. So I thought that maybe something big happened (war?) causing the Dwemer to create the ball which would preserve them until safe to return. The dragon emerges because you spoke it's language. So perhaps the dwemer are inside, waiting for someone to come and release them.
I do believe I never did this quest. Time to dust off the CD and begin the journey again.
This questline is broken for me. Katrina never shows up. Im on pc. Any advice on how to possibly fix it?
I know I say this almost every video but nice vid
Thanks for all the support!
I believe that Aertherium is a magical power source, that rivals or surpasses the use of souls.
I love these videos, going into Skyrim side quests!
Hello FM guys. I liked this quest, as it dealt with Dwemer mysteries & helping out a 👻 tied to our realm by unfinished business. I didn't mind the final treasures too much (chose 👑), but it was slightly disappointing. I also wish there was 1 final quest to obtain enough aetherium to make 1 full suit of armor. I have the SE edition on Xbox One, though, so not sure if any related mods are available there. Great job, as always. Love your content.
Yeah this quest is great, I think the staff is the best, I like using it with my master mage character.
Praying they cover the history of the dwemer more in es6
What in Aetherium is Aetherium!
