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

==History==
[[Image:Dwemer.jpg|frame|A developer sketch of two armour-clad Dwemer, found in "The Art of Morrowind" booklet, included with the GOTY edition of the game.]]⏎
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 first 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(contracted; show full)er, with the notable exception of Yagrum Bagarn, who resides in the Corprusarium of Tel Fyr. Apparently, he was absent from the Mortal Plane at the time of the disappearance, visiting an Outer Realm, an alternate dimension. His 3000 years of exploration and 500 years of investigation have yielded no leads on the presence of his people on Mundus or any other plane of existence currently known of. Yagrum's claims of Dwemer descent are dubious though; his mind possibly altered by contraction of [[Corprus
]].

There are many mysteries among the Dwemer creations left behind. Mages Guild investigators have discovered that if one of the centurion spiders is taken away from Vvardenfell, it gradually becomes more sluggish, eventually going into a state of torpor. Even more curious is that upon return, the spider re-activates back to normal aggressive levels, as if sensing the presence of the Dwemer ruins.
