Homebrew Dwemer Species Details

We serve not the gods or devils, Reason and Logic suit us more, so have your wars over what god is better, while we build ourselves to become gods in our own right.

The Deep Elves or Dwemer are said to have been created by a unknown entity known as the Arbiter, though this being hasn't been seen or talked about by Dwemer society, they are still researching how they came to be.

Dwemer resemble elves and dwarves mixed in certain parts. like elves they are graceful, but tough like dwarves, they value gems and bright objects, but they see things through a science perspective. if they value magics and music, it is not because they value its worth economically, a flawless gem has magic potential.

They mainly live underground and their tech can outlast most magical enchantments. though still mortal, the Dwemer's machines will guard their master's residence or the ruins with deadly efficiency, until they break.

finally they have a secret recipe for a metal that doesn't tarnish, though because is a trade secret they only now usually use it for power suits that are require it. this metal is called D-Metal.

the highest rank in the caste system of Dwemer society are the Tonal Architects who are experts at using D-Metal to forge their power suits, any other race or "lower" caste can still design power suits, but they'd have to keep making more in order to master the craft.

A Dwemer can if provided parts and time, can actually trap there soul in a Fabricant body, to clarify a Fabricant is a being made of metal(usually D-Metal) that mimics that of a normal mortal, but they don't need to eat or sleep, and do not die, but it takes alot of effort and materials to reach this "Dwemer Lichdom"(though they call it ascending)
