Lore:First Council

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

When threatened by the Nordic invasion of King Vrage, Dumac Dwarfking's Dwemer and Indoril Nerevar's united Velothi Chimer forged an alliance against the common foe. The alliance ultimately succeeded in repelling the invaders in 1E 416, leading to the First Council of newly-named Resdayn. Indoril Nerevar and Dumac Dwarfking were elected as leaders of the First Council. Resdayn flourished under the leadership of Dumac and Nerevar and the peace between the Chimer and Dwemer brings an unprecedented prosperity and flowering of both cultures for a time.

The peace existed mainly by the strength of personal friendship, forged in battle, between Dumac and Nerevar, as they both were counciled to war to end this unholy alliance. The scheming of Almsivi and Tonal Architect Lord Kagrenac respectively, bore fruit. The discord was triggered by Azura's interference ^[1], the plans of Kagrenac for the Anumidum project and Dumac's ignorance of it, which led to a falling-out with Nerevar.

The council was dissolved in 1E 668 following the War of the First Council, which lead to the death of Nerevar and Dumac, the apotheosis and rise of the Tribunal and the Disappearance of the Dwarves after Battle of Red Mountain.

The idea of a uniting council was taken up later, as Vivec formed the Grand Council of Morrowind, containing the surviving Great Houses.
