The Dwemer Researcher

About this image

My Altmer character, Armil Keleoth, pondering to which tome should he indulge in next.

Armil is my Altmer character whom I played as a mage at the College of Winterhold. Though he was a talented mage, he is amazed and intrigued byt the Dwemer and researched their race's culture and inginuity. He has adventured through countless dwemer ruins and has uncovered many relics, artifacts and even secret dwemer magics.

When he became a member of the college, his first act was to join in on Arniel Gane's research with the dwemer. Their partnership has found them numerous information on the dwemer, their partnership ended after an unpleasant accident with the ancient dwemer artifact, keening.

Armil continued on his research alone and dwelled through contless ruins, he uncovered magics used by dwarven mages and was able to recreate a destruction spell, one that fires off steam like the dwarven centurions do. In one of his expeditions, he was able to uncover robes worn by dwarven mages and wore them with pride. He became the envy of most of his colleges with such exquisite robes.

His success was heard by Calmelmo and was invited to join in on an expedition to Nchuand-Zel underneath Markarth. To Armil's great regret, it was his first time to Markarth, the city of stone, which was built by the dwarves, he was amazed by the great city and spent quite a bit of time there studying the city as well as the ruins with Calmelmo.

After a while studying with Calmelmo in Markarth, they received word that a new ruin was discovered to the south of Markarth. Armil decided it was high time he went alone again and traveled to this new ruin, he discovered it was Arkngthamz. And within there, he discovered the secrets of Artherium. After scouring Skyrim for enough Aetherium, he traveled to the legendary Aetherium forge, his first attempt to forge failed as he did not expect so much security from the automatons. He went to Calmelmo for help and was this time escorted by an army of guardsmen. And so he went to the forge once again and was able to defeat the automatons including the centerion forge master. And so, he forged for an Aethirum Staff, a great weapon to conjure his own automatons, his crowning achievement as a researcher to the Dwarves.

Now, Armil continues his research and studies into the Dwemer. He has a house within Markarth as well as his own study in the College. His life, dedicated to researching the Dwarven secrets of magic, science as well as engineering.
