The '''Dwemer''' (pronounced /{{IPA|dʌ.weɪ.mɪɹ}}/) are a fictional race of [[Mer (Elder Scrolls)|elves]] from [[The Elder Scrolls]] video game universe.

==History==
Dwemer, meaning "Deep Elves", are thought to be a reclusive, independent group of Mer (Elves), dedicated to the principles of science, alchemy, and engineering. Although they are commonly referred to as dwarves, evidence from their dwellings and armor indicates that they were of average height, similar to that of other mer. In the firstsecond Morrowind expansion, Tribunal, the ghost of the Dwemer mystic Radac Stungnthumz bears the closest resemblance to a living Dwemer. The name [[dwarf|Dwarves]] is due to an apocryphal tale in which the Dwemer came into contact with a species of giants, who gave the Dwemer that name. However, this may be a scholastic error, as their name Dwemer was given to them by the Ehlnofey, their giant creators, who loved their curious nature.
