Ability Score Increases:
When the Elven Schism occurred, and the various different subspecies of Aldmer chose regions of Tamriel to make as their home, the Dwemer went a step beyond. They built their homes underground and spanned across nearly all of Tamriel. They even built roadways and infrastructure beneath their cities, beneath the land, spanning from one land mass to another, even connecting between waterways. Not actually short, in comparison to other humanoids of Tamriel, the Dwemer got the name because of early interaction with a sect of Giants who saw them as small in comparison to them.
While not heavily focused on dealing with religion and many forms of magic, the Dwemer put their foundations on technology. They have constructed massive pipeworks and systems of steam-powered machinery. Dabbling in some form of magic, however, they uncovered some great mystery and vanished from the world, perhaps entirely from the Prime Material plane. Nevertheless, their constructions still function in their now desolate cities, a mystery that still baffles people all across Tamriel thousands of years later. Regardless of intent, origin, or purpose, their extensive knowledge grants them a +2 to Int.
The most public face of the Dwemer was the architect and engineering branch of the Dwemer. In fact, most people might even believe this was the only kind of Dwemer that existed. These Dwemer focused on the study of technology and steam power systems throughout their cities. As such, an Architect Dwemer gains a +1 bonus to Wis.
Less known to the world at large, there was a time before the Falmer inhabited Blackreach; the pathways underground between the Dwemer cities. There was a time when the Dwemer lived there, as well. Due to their lives being lived so deep in the world and subject to the dangers of both their experimentations and the natural dangers from the denizens present deep underground, the Blackreach Dwemer gain a +1 bonus to Con.
