There are several Deep Elf race mods on the Nexus, but I wanted to assemble a mod of my own that was not simply a texture swap and one or two racial abilities. I wanted a unique Deep Elf race with spells and abilities that no other race has access to in Skyrim: the latent ability to control time, and the skills to craft their own Dwarven warmachines. Thus, The Timelost Dwemer was born.
Four thousand years ago the entire Dwemer race was erased from existence. All that remained were their empty cities and the ceaseless animunculi that they left behind to guard them. Many centuries passed in their absence until something stirred in the Void.
The fabric of time and space rippled and tore – and in a flash, a figure dropped to its knees in the wintry lands of Skyrim. The Timelost Dwemer stood, trembling – gazing upon the land with disturbing familiarity. Everything was where the ancients had left them, and buried beneath the mountains of Skyrim, the sins of the past beckoned to be found. The mer listened, and strode forth, knowing what had to be done. Evil walked the lands of Tamriel, and the forbidden secrets of the ancient Dwemer could not be allowed to fall into the wrong hands.
