three classes of Dwemer centurions: the → centurion spider, the → centurion sphere, and the →steam centurion. These devices are rarely encountered outside of ancient → Dwemer ruins.Dwemer GhostDwarven ghosts are encountered in the ancient abandoned → Dwemer ruins. They are aggressiveand dangerous, but → ectoplasm, a filmy residue that remains after the revenant spirit of a →Dwemer has been banished from the mortal plane, is a rare, valuable substance with modestmagical properties. Normal weapons do not harm them; only enchanted or → silver weapons ordeadly → spells affect them.Dwemer LanguageThe Dwemer language is largely untranslatable, though the alphabet is known, and shortinscriptions can be deciphered, usually from context clues. Fortunately, many → Dwemerdocuments were written in → Aldmeris, which is very close to modern Elven languages, makingthem accessible to modern scholars. However, even in Aldmeris, many Dwemer terms remainuncertain.Dwemer Puzzle BoxA little → Dwemer cube, about the size of a fist. It is made of a coppery metal, with a circulardesign and symbols on one side and some lined marks on the other sides. The inscriptions on thebox are directions for setting a Dwemer key to open a specific lock.Dwemer RuinsDwemer GhostThe ruins of the lost → Dwemer → race are found everywhere in Tamriel, but are most commonin → Morrowind, once the native land of the Dwemer. The two largest are → Mzuleft and →Nchuleftingth. Mzuleft is in the → Sheogorad region, and access is forbidden. Nchuleftingth isoccupied by an expedition of the Imperial Archaeological Commission, and is not open to visitors.Lit.: Guylaine's Architecture (TEST I 2 : 418).→ Table 6.Do the old places of the Deep Elves interest you? The places that look like they're made of a golden metal? Withspires and towers? Those are Dwarven ruins. They're kinda dangerous −− partly because of the old Dwarvenmachines in them, and partly because of the kind of things that like to hide out in such old ruins. All the old ruinsinside the → Ghostfence, for example, are ancient Dwarven ruins. You should go see → Nchuleft orNchuleftingth. The places are very old, and you can still go down inside. The walls still glow with strange lights,and terrible things walk and squeal in the passages. They are bad places, and very dangerous, but filled withwonders.Dwemer SitesSee → Dwemer Ruins.71
