- The following is a transcript of the words of Lord Vivec, addressed to a Dissident Priest, Malur Omayn, who confronted Vivec with the Ashlander traditions surrounding the Battle of Red Mountain and with prophecies of the Nerevarine, and to unnamed magistrates of the Inquisition who joined Vivec in interrogating the Dissident Priest.
Who can clearly recall the events of the distant past. [sic] But you have asked me to tell you, in my own words, the events surrounding the Battle of Red Mountain, the birth of the Tribunal, and the prophecies of a Nerevar reborn. Here is what I can tell you.
When the Chimer first abandoned the herds and tents of their nomadic ancestors, and built the first Great Houses, we loved the Daedra, and worshipped them as gods. But our brethren, the Dwemer, scorned the Daedra, and mocked our foolish rituals, and preferred instead their gods of Reason and Logic. So the Chimer and Dwemer were always at bitter war, until the Nords came and invaded Resdayn. Only then did the Chimer and Dwemer put away their strife and join together to cast out the invaders.
Once the Nords were driven out, General Nerevar of the Chimer and General Dumac of the Dwemer, who had come to love and respect one another, resolved to make peace between their peoples. In that time I was but a junior counselor to Nerevar, and Nerevar's queen, Almalexia, and his other favorite counselor, Sotha Sil, always doubted that such a peace might long survive, given the bitter disputes between Chimer and Dwemer, but by negotiation and compromise, Nerevar and Dumac somehow managed to preserve a fragile peace.
But when Dagoth Ur, Lord of House Dagoth, and trusted as a friend by both Nerevar and the Dwemer, brought us proof that High Engineer Kagrenac of the Dwemer had discovered the Heart of Lorkhan, and that he had learned how to tap its powers, and was building a new god, a mockery of Chimer faith and a fearsome weapon, we all urged Nerevar to make war on the Dwarves and to destroy this threat to Chimer beliefs and security. Nerevar was troubled. He went to Dumac and asked if what Dagoth Ur said was true. But Kagrenac took great offense, and asked whom Nerevar thought he was, that he might presume to judge the affairs of the Dwemer.
Nerevar was further troubled, and made pilgrimage to Holamayan, the sacred temple of Azura, and Azura confirmed that all that Dagoth Ur said was indeed true and that the creation of a New God of the Dwemer should be prevented at all costs. When Nerevar came back and told us what the goddess had said, we felt our judgements confirmed, and again counseled him to war, chiding Nerevar for his naive trust in friendship, and reminding Nerevar of his duty to protect the faith and security of the Chimer against the impiety and dangerous ambitious [sic] of the Dwemer.
Then Nerevar went back to Vvardenfell one last time, hoping that negotiations and compromise might once again preserve the peace. But this time the friends Nerevar and Dumac quarreled bitterly, and as a result, the Chimer and Dwemer went to war.

The false gods of the tribunal killed and betrayed nerevar. Dagoth Ur a true friend, but became mad.
The Good Daedra are right.
Vivec did feel guilty about betraying Nerevar. I suspect, given Sotha Sil's disgust against all Daedra, he cajoled Vivec and Almalexia to betray their oath and take the tools and the power they could wield for their own.
The Tribunal and Dagoth Ur both betrayed and remained loyal in their own ways
Brotha, this is such an interesting way to present the lore - to have the charismatic and familiar Dagoth Ur tell the tales of his world, that I couldn't but enjoy this video and drink every word he spoke.
This is maybe the first time I have ever finally properly learned about the battle of Red Mountain.
Bruh, this is art. Thank you
What I love about the Nimidium is that it makes all of these scenarios, Vivecs, Datgoths, The Dwarves and the Dunmers all real and have happened. They're all just consolidated back into one timeline once the battle is finished.
Love this. I read this book in the game but it's so epic to hear this version with Dagoth's own voice
Dagoth only ever had good intentions
not gonna lie im not big on reading so this is actually really getting me to learn that book lore that's just been going to waste
The "canonical end" of the Nerevarine is that they sail to Akavir and possibly continue to live into the 4th era given how his "treated Corprus" makes him ageless and still sound of mind and body. Yet, in Skyrim, helping Arngeir with his experiments for what happened to the Dwemer relative to Kagrenac's ritual shows that Keening was in a place that it could be smuggled and recovered. Why did the Nerevarine not take the tools with him? Or was there no place that they could be hidden from prying mortal hands?
BTW, relative to Morrowind the game: Sunder makes a great weapon for "acquiring" the Royal Signet Ring when combined with fortified strength and sneaking.
Yes, give me all the lore read by dagoth ur that's amazing
Similar but different from nerevar at red mountain. Different perspective
It’s such an awesome story, shame they squandered Skyrims story.
Never thought there’d be a pungent smell of bullshit coming from an audiobook.
