A northern dungeon Idea
All that follows has no basis in lore.
Durring the empires conquest of elsweyr, as well as the construction of numidium the empire required large amounts of coal, so they began digging mines, thye required this for numidium since they did not have the dwemer's mastery of steam. These mines were quickly abandoned because they dug too deep and broke into large caverns burried beneah the sand that had served as the evolutionary stage for strange, giant, violent insects.

RE: A northern dungeon Idea
Sounds like someone has been watching too much sci-fi, lol. :lol: Not insects or dinosaurs or anything, maybe Daedra or undead.

I don't think they would need coal for Numidium. It's powered/animated by the Mantella.

True, but the second Numidium in TES III was powered by lorkans heart, yet it still had dwemer pipes coming off it and steam rising off it.
Think of it this way, the Mantella was it's soul and the coal was it's fuel. |

Exactly, just like Falinesti is organic, numidium is mechanic.

Why would it even be compatible with coal? Besides, just because it was a dwemer construct does not mean it HAD to use steam/coal/whatever, considering they had something much more powerful to use for it. I would think the idea of a 'brass god' is more intimidating if it isn't just a larger version of your steam centurions.
Who's to say Dagoth Ur even had the capability of producing the same sort of Numidium that the dwemer did? Maybe he used pipes because it was easier or because he didn't know the proper way to make it work otherwise, or simply because even a giant version of a typical construct would be terrifying to the modern people of Tamriel.

I say that the original probably did not have coal.
The imperial reconstruction would use coal. The Dagoth ur one used steam. Good?
