My thoughts: I'd rather not know. The mystery is better than any answer that any one story could provide.

Its a Bethesda game, so they probably clipped into some object, vibrated violently, and then got thrown out of render distance and disappeared.

they gone i think

Until Bethessda decides to retcon, it's a mystery.

Not exactly. They can bring them back whenever if they wanted to and go from there.

My thoughts are how they disappeared. Arniel Gane is a person in the college of winterhold trying to solve this and at the end of his little questline in solving it, he disappears and becomes a summon in your conjuration tab. I believe that this happened similarly with the dwarves and that maybe, someone out there in tamriel has the ability to summon an entire race of elves, whenever he or she wants to.

Correct. That's what Bethessda did all the time in the TES series and it "just works".

you guys know morrowind somewhat answers this question on what happened during the red moment right?

[alexander_dougherty]

I hope we never find out.

There are all sorts of theories out there, good theories and bad, but the one thing we know for certain is all the theories out there are going to be better than what Bethesda will decide happened.

Thankfully, as long as Todd is there they won’t answer it. He’s stated that he has no intention of ever revealing the truth behind how/why they vanished - he feels that having such unexplained mysteries makes the setting/lore better.

Hopefully his successor post-TESVI will respect that, because at this point no canon explanation will please everybody.

Personally, I always liked the theory that they were transported to another plane of existence outside of Mundus and they’re effectively trapped there. They’re still alive, and maybe even rebuilt a civilization on this other plane, but despite their efforts to return to Mundus, haven’t figured out a way yet.

Dimensional travel by accident. Is my guess.
