House Dagoth House Dagoth , also known as the Unmourned House , is the lost Sixth House of Morrowind . Its clan home was Kogoruhn in northern Vvardenfell , and was prominent during the early First Era , prior to the Battle of Red Mountain . House Dagoth was one of the six Chimer Great Houses of Resdayn . The members of the House were known as brave warriors and powerful enchanters . Voryn Dagoth , the leader of the House , allied himself with the young Nerevar , offering his wisdom , strength , and friendship to the future ruler . Over time , he became Nerevar ' s senior and most - trusted advisor . Background . House Dagoth ' s fall occurred at the Battle of Red Mountain . Extremely loyal to his friend Nerevar , Voryn Dagoth ( the future Dagoth Ur ) fought beside him within the Dwemer fortress and was ordered to defend the profane tools that caused the Dwemer people to vanish from reality . At the time , Voryn suggested that the tools be destroyed to prevent damage to the Chimer . Nerevar , wounded and forlorn due to the war , rejected the notion and left to confer with his friends Vivec , Almalexia , and Sotha Sil , ordering him to protect them until his return . After some time , Nerevar decided , along with his council , to confiscate the tools and keep them safe from evil hands , but Dagoth Ur refused to give up the tools , insisting he was ordered by Nerevar not to give them up . The Almsivi , or the Tribunal Temple , states that he had been corrupted by the Heart of Lorkhan , and Nerevar fought Dagoth Ur for possession of the tools and defeated him . The House was not dead , however - Dagoth Ur and seven of his blood brothers fled deeper into Red Mountain , and the children of his House were adopted by others . Over three millennia , Dagoth Ur and his brothers lay in a state of near - death deep below the Mountain . During this time , Dagoth Ur ' s mind explored the enchantments of the Profane Tools and their links to the Heart of Lorkhan . When he awoke near the end of the Second Era , little remained of Nerevar ' s friend as he was , but a creature existed who believed himself to have been betrayed by Nerevar and the Tribunal . These feelings incubated over time , pulling him farther into madness . Using rituals , Dagoth Ur bound himself and his brothers directly to the Heart of Lorkhan , drawing directly on the immense power it possessed . Dagoth Ur saw this power as the birthright of his people , a divine right stolen long ago . His goal was to spread this gift to the Dunmer and possibly other people of Tamriel . To do so , he created a carrier disease , Corprus . He sent out a call to the remains of House Dagoth , creating Sleepers from those Dunmer whose ancestors had been adopted into other Houses . They soon became Dreamers and joined the Sixth House Cult , where the ultimate glory was to partake of the " Divine Disease " and be changed by Corprus . It might be safe to say that , with the Heart of Lorkhan being released and the death of Dagoth Ur , House Dagoth was effectively destroyed at the hands of the Nerevarine , who had , in fact , been ' cursed ' with the " Divine Disease , " becoming immune to virtually all other disease ( the only known possible exceptions being vampirism and lycanthropy ) . With not only the loss of the Heart of Lorkhan , which provided Dagoth Ur and his lieutenants with most of their power , and with the death of its leader , its demise is highly plausible . The crest of this House is an insect .
