Lore talk:Dwarven Metal

Helpful Information

This is an email I once got from Bethesda Customer Support. Hope this helps unravel some secrets. CaptainDumac (talk) 00:59, 5 May 2015 (GMT)

A lot of that information could generally be assumed, such as the dwarves not sharing the secrets with any other race, as is usual dwarven operating procedure for anything. The only thing of note there is her claim that steel is in Dwarven Metal, which is more obfuscating. I can guess that she's referring to steel being necessary to craft Dwarven armor, but that's it. And if that's what she's referring to, then there is also iron in Dwarven metal. --AKB ^{Talk Cont Mail} 01:22, 5 May 2015 (GMT)

It would probably be notable to at least state that steel is a known component in the Dwemer's gear. CaptainDumac (talk) 12:15, 5 May 2015 (GMT)

What happened to the brass theory? The Numidium is sometimes referred to as the "Brass God", though it's never specified whether it is actually brass (which would in real life be a copper/zinc alloy). It certainly has the color of brass. Some alloys of brass do include iron, aluminum, or lead as well. I feel it should at least be mentioned, due at least to the in-lore Numidium info. — TheRealLurlock (talk) 15:34, 5 May 2015 (GMT)

My theory is that dwarven brass actually has no copper, because copper is a conductor and conductive armour and weapons would cause the dwemer to die off much quicker (if you know what I mean). CaptainDumac (talk) 17:48, 5 May 2015 (GMT)

Merge with Lore:Dwemer

Dwemer metals a huge part of the Dwemer and the mysteries of how their creations are still running is also pretty big. It would be good to put this in the lore dwemer section as a subsection so it wont be hidden here. — Unsigned comment by Zebendal (talk • contribs) at 23:26 on 13 November 2018 (UTC)

This merge proposal makes no sense to me and I approve of this revert. Nothing is "hidden" here, it's a perfectly valid article about a type of material. Lore:Dwemer is for details specifically about the race and would not benefit from this much detail on a type of metal. —Legoless (talk) 22:15, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
