The '''Dwemer''' (pronounced DWAY-mer or DWEE-mer) are a fictional race of dwarelves from the game [[Morrowind]][[Elder Scrolls]] 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. It is theorized that, at one time, the Dwemer came into contact with a group of giants, who gave the Dwemer the name dwarves. 

(contracted; show full)oughout the Empire, although since they are technically the property of the emperor, the sale of them is illegal. Dwemer weapons and armor are especially valued, reknowned for their excellent craftsmanship and sturdy design. However, aquisition of these artifacts is highly dangerous, because of the remote location of the ruins, and the multitude of Dwemer constructs within, including the Steam Centurion, as well as traps on many of the doors in the cities, which often take an unwary adventurer by surprise.
