    In our latest Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim video we uncover the full story of Aetherium.
    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an open world action role-playing video game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is the fifth main installment in The Elder Scrolls series, following The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 11, 2011.
    The game's main story revolves around the player character and their quest to defeat Alduin the World-Eater, a dragon who is prophesied to destroy the world. The videogame is set two hundred years after the events of Oblivion, and takes place in the fictional province of Skyrim. Over the course of the game, the player completes quests and develops the character by improving skills. The game continues the open world tradition of its predecessors by allowing the player to travel anywhere in the game world at any time, and to ignore or postpone the main storyline indefinitely.

    The year is 2032 ES6 finally comes out! Happily you open the box. A whole new adventure has been promised to you.
    You start a new game.
    Text appears on the screen.
    "The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim"
    Todd Howard laughs in the distance. There was never a new game. Only Skyrim. Skyrim is the beginning and the end.

      Alternate Ending: You open the box, overwhelming joy filling your chest. A bright light pierces your vision. As you slowly regain it, the air is different and your clothes have a different feel. Looking around you feel a chill down your spine as you recognize the opening to the former game, Skyrim. Dread and excitement bubble up as you hear those three familiar words from the man in front of you.
      "You're finally awake..."

    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.

      @@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.

      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.

    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?

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!
