War´fss (dwarfs, war´f)

Written by Unterwelt

War'fss (Dwarves)
The War'ss (or Dwarves as they are called) are one of the three major races in Unterwelt. They are not only the most advanced people, but also the most social and educated in all of Unterwelt, as well as Tamriel.
They belong to the Dwarves, to be exact to the Dwemer. The Dwemer were the dwarven people of Tamriel until one day, during the battle of Red Mountain, they disappeared. Since then, they are considered extinct, as no one of their race has survived, except for one Dwemer. Yagrum Bagarn was in another plane at the time of the disappearance, and was therefore excluded from the race.
2003 years after the Zero Era, three years after the beginning of the Second Era, a 5000-man (and woman) strong group of Dwemer decided to split off from the rest. In the book "Dwemer and War'fss - The Liberation" the background of this is described in great detail.
Brazzezgar ragrozsch was the leader of this group. After completing the West March, they arrived at a place whose name is unknown. However, this place is located somewhere between the border of Skyrim and Cyrodiil.
Brazzezgar, skilful as he was, asked in nearby houses for a possibility of escape from Skyrim. He knew that the Great Council of the Dwemer was weakened and temporarily defeated, but that it would not take long to hunt them down. When he came to the third house, a man dressed in black opened it for him. And here is where the eyewitness accounts made by those present at the time split, and were written down for eternity.
"....... Some said it was a scroll with the power to bring all 5000 brothers and sisters from the border to the underworld. Others believe that it was the man himself who seemed so powerful as to be able to accomplish this. And a still smaller part firmly believes that it was simply chance and luck that they came to the underworld....." Excerpt from; "Controversial Curiosities" Volume I.

And so it happened that the dwarves found Unterwelt. They were not on the mainland at the beginning, but on the mountain Kyt', on the dwarf rift island. There they began to build a new life of their own.
The War'fss built their first dwarven city "Cleft City" in the depths of Mount Kyt' 2120 years after the Zero Era and 120 years after the beginning of the Second Era. The completion was 150 years after the beginning of the second era. They lived there for quite a while, until a large part of them decided to go by ship to the Renegade Islands. There they built their capital "Brazzezgar" named after their first dwarf king Brazzenzgar ragrozsch.
This was the beginning of the War'fss. The complete timeline can be seen in "Times of the Dwarves" Volume I-III.
The dwarves built huge underground cities, and many kinds of constructions. They invented the Holy Gold, and lived by the rule of the triangle. Partly even today. However, they always acted as peacefully as possible and in the interest of their fellow men, as their liberator Brazzezgar ragrozsch had taught them before.
