==Origin==
Dagoth Ur's reign came about after the Battle of Red Mountain, also known as the Lorkhan War. This famous battle, paving the way for the formation of "modern" Morrowind, took place around 1E 700, towards the end of the War of the First Council between the Chimeri (led by Nerevar) and the Dwemeri (led by Dumac Dwarfking).

Other sources imply that House Dagoth betrayed the Chimer and fought with the Dwemer (possibly because they disliked the other Chimer houses and tribes), and that Nerevar was slain during the battle. These sources state that Kagrenac accidentally wiped out the Dwemer in a vain attempt to empower them using the heart.

==Gameplay==
The death of the Chimeri champion Nerevar angered the Daedra lord Azura so, that she punished the entire race for his death by darkening their skin and turning their eyes red, transforming them into the Dunmer (Dark Elves) that currently inhabit Tamriel. She vowed that one day, a child born outside of Morrowind, under a certain sign, to uncertain parents, would rise as Nerevar reborn, and defeat Dagoth Ur as her champion. This "Nerevarine" is your character in the game.

===The Battle===
Before entering the final chamber, Dagoth Ur speaks to the player, explaining a number of things, including his relationship with Nerevar, and his plans for Morrowind. Once the player exits this conversation, Dagoth Ur will attack. The player must defeat him, at which time he simply disappears, then proceed to the final chamber. Once inside, the player will see Dagoth Ur standing in front of them, as alive as ever. He comments on the arrogence exhibited by attempting to kill a god, and resumes his assault. This time, the player will be unable to kill him by fighting.

==Further mentions==
Dagoth Ur's story is part of a much larger tale in the Elder Scrolls universe, and outside of Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, he is mentioned in mutliple books and documents that deal with the subject of Nerevar, Lorkhan, the six great houses of Morrowind, or the events of the Nerevarine prophecy. Though the subject of Dagoth Ur does not come up naturally in the main questlines of Elder Scrolls IV and V, both games do contain information on him, if the player were to look hard enough.
