The Numidium, also called The Anumidium, is a colossal brass golem built by the Dwemer to serve an artificial god that would grant them transcendence over the Mortal Plane. Though it appears at first to merely be a gigantic mechanic Animunculi, the Numidium is in fact a Tower, a highly intricate metaphysical construct capable of influencing reality across the whole of Mundus, and which reflects and embodies the collective ideology of the race that built it. The Dwemer were an extremely nihilistic people, philosophically denying reality itself, in both phenomena and noumena. They perceived existence to be a lie, and the universe itself an illusion, and thus they refuted their own existence. As such, they Dwemer rejected notions of gods and fate, and had no need for emotions such as love and forgiveness. The Brass Tower that is the Numidium, then, is the embodiment of the Dwemer's collective denial and nihilism, and consequently the greatest threat to the Aurbis as a whole.

The Numidium was conceived by Chief Tonal Architect Kagrenac, the foremost arcane philosopher and magecrafter of the Dwemer of Resdayn, following excavations into the core of Red Mountain that led to the discovery of the pulsing energies of the Heart of Lorkhan amidst the underlying tonal structure of reality. However, the Heart lacked any physical form, existing purely as an intangible abstraction. So that the Dwemer could harness the Heart's divine potency, Kagrenac developed three legendary Tools that could manipulate mythopoeic forces and archetypes - Keening, Sunder and Wraithguard - and with them gave Lorkhan's Heart a physical form.

Believing that the Numidium was the Crux of Transcendence through which the Dwemer would free themselves from the illusory prison of reality, Kagrenac harnessed the Heart's boundless energies and used them to power the machine into activation. With the Brass God's awakening, Kagrenac proved successful in his ambitions, as every Dwemer on Mundus simultaneously and instantaneously vanished of the face of existence, their spirits merging into a single Oversoul, forever bound to the Prime Gestalt of the Numidium. The Dwemer were gone, having refuted their own existence and removed themselves from the world, and in their place only the Numidium remained, a Brass Tower which wore the Dwemer's collective ideology of nihilism and disbelief on its divine skin, a Brass Tower whose only purpose was to follow the will of its creators, refuting not only itself, but all of existence along with it.
