War of the First Council

The War of the First Council was a First Age war fought over religious disputes. It was fought by the Chimer houses of Indoril, Redoran, Dres, Hlaalu, and Telvanni against the Dwemer and the Chimer house of Dagoth. The Dwemer initially campaigned with great success in the north of Morrowind. Until Indoril Nerevar was made General of all Chimer troops.

He forced a battle at the Dwemer fortress at Red Mountain. With a stunning victory he ended the war, but at a cost. Nerevar and Dumac, the king of the Dwemer, died along with many Chimer, Orcs, Nords, and Dwemer. The Dwemer were driven to extinction. The Chimer were transformed into Dunmer by Azura.
