The What is up?

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Elder Scrolls podcast with Fudge Muppet.

My name is Scott and we're here with Michael and Drew and today we're discussing the Dwemer

in their totality. So for those of you out there who are confused, there are three of us and you do hear separate voices sometimes, but sometimes you can't tell the difference between Michael and I.

But yeah, we made a community post announcing the podcast.

And to give you the short of it, this is an open discussion podcast where we discuss all different parts of the Elder Scrolls, a lot of law discussion,

but also other Elder Scrolls related topics.

We encourage you to ask questions and so on and we make community posts about it before they come out.

Yeah, I've actually, I've actually heard that the deep elves could also reference that they're deep as in like intelligent, like mentally deep. Yeah. Not even as a joke. This is, it was somewhere, it was somewhere legitimate. I think it was an in-game text even. Although when I hear deep though, or I guess it applies, but when I hear like deep, I usually think like philosophical. Oh, I'm thinking underground. Well, I do. No, I mean deep in that context. Yeah. Yeah, I thought you meant when you thought of the Dwemer as the deep ones. But yeah. Yeah. I feel like everyone here who is watching a podcast dedicated to the Dwemer has some idea of who they are. But essentially, they're just, they're sort of like the thematic antithesis to the

Chimer and Dunma, they're like these super fedority being like, we'll talk about this,

but they're not atheist or I guess how you divvy up the definition of that because atheist is just sort of like not having
