Overview & Creation

Dwarven Sentinels are a masterful creation by their ancient creatures, the Deep Elves, or Dwemer. Specialized machinations being on the only design of their kind to have a sentient or self-aware consciousness of their design. They were made to handle hostile negotiations with reason and the intent to complete. Their weaponry and versatile usage of the model types makes Sentinels rare but dangerous combatants against warring enemies. Should a Sentinel fall, they have a modified self-destruct sequence that annihilates any target they need to be eliminated. They are only dangerous however once completely charged and with live weaponry. Otherwise, they are rather docile and have a tough time communicating with living organisms due to the lack of comprehending their needs. They are obedient to be given orders...if only their creators were still existing to keep them maintained.   After the Dwemer's disappearance, only a small amount of Sentinels are said to still roam the lands of Tamriel today, still guarding locations and landscapes where their masters still left them at.
