This led to heated negotiations between Nerevar and Dumac Dwarfking.

The event that likely sparked the march to war was the discovery by House Dagoth that the Dwemer had unearthed the Heart of Lorkhan beneath Red Mountain. Some claim that the war was simply due to continued religious differences between the Chimer and the Dwemer, others because the Chimer found various Dwemer sorcerous practices detestable. The War of the First Council Main article: War of the First Council It was achieved largely because of the friendship between Indoril Nerevar and Dumac Dwarfking, but ended with the War of the First Council. This coalition drove out the Nords and formed the nation of Resdayn, which stimulated the formation of the Great Houses. The Nord invasion forced the Chimer and Dwemer to overlook their differences and unite, forming the First Council. This disorganization contributed to the conquest of Morrowind by the Nords under Vrage the Gifted, which took a mere 50 years. Invasion of the Nords and the Formation of the First Council Main article: First Council These battles were allegedly fueled by conflicting religious beliefs of the two cultures, with the Chimer affronted by the Dwemer's lack of respect for the Daedra they worshipped, and the Dwemer either worshiped an unknown force or were more agnostic in their beliefs. This ultimately led to internecine war between the Chimer and Dwemer, which lasted into the First Era.įirst Era Main article: First Era Chimer-Dwemer Warfare ĭisputes over territory marked the early interactions between the two groups of Mer in Morrowind in the First Era.

This period of success was followed by an unexplained period of decline of the original Velothi Chimer culture, which allowed the Dwemer to gain a more established foothold on the land, and the first known Dwemer settlements date from this period. The term 'High Elven' is unexplained in this text, as the Altmer are not mentioned by name as having any political involvement with the Chimer at this time. The Velothi built many towers at this time, alongside a number of 'High Elven' towers. It is unclear exactly which group of Mer arrived in the area first, although the records of the Dwemer allegedly reach back further. The Dwemer also settled the area around this time. The prophet Veloth led the Chimer to the land that would be known as Morrowind at some point in the Middle Merethic Era.
