@Tonraa I appreciate the effort in your interpretation there friend, but there is no evidence to support that they were "lovers"

The lore establishes that they were good friends and close allies... they were not lovers, nothing in the in-game lore states that. And before you mention 'Sweet Nerevar,' that line doesn't apply any subtext of romantic nature.

Its more akin to calling someone innocent of violence by saying their outlook on life is sweet. In Dagoth's case, given he's a Dunmer and really insane and weird, 'Sweet Nerevar' is a way of expressing that he could never understand the harsh reality of their destiny.

And again, this lore would be mentioned since we have explicit lore of Vivec's violently romantic dealings with Molag Bal to achieve Chim...

Incredible artwork

^^Loved the dagoth ur dialogue @pussy slayer 69

Nerevar, I sit here before you, not as a god, but as a friend, your friend. Let us be done with it all, go back to, simpler times, before all the fighting and the dying. I just want to live a normal mundane life, but ive seen things, Nerevar, as I'm sure you have too. We can't just go back, we can never go back. The dreamer demands Us to fight, He made me Chim, and he made you reincarnate. So though we cannot go back to good times, let us give each other a release from this pointless destiny. Meet me in the mountain, old friend, and we shall free ourselves.

for some reason i can imagine this being part of the reborn nerevar lowest moments. Trying to decide if everything they done was worth it and all the deaths caused was justified. Just when Nerevar is ready to give up an unexpected visitor comes appears before em. The spirit of dagoth Ur appears but not to torment Nerevar but instead to council and comfort em like he did when they were friends before the events of red mountain, and the corruption that followed.

You know what? This is one of the best artworks I've ever seen.

It reflects their relationship perfectly. The only persons to ever know the lies of Tribunal. The truth beneath the Nerevar's death. They were to be the best of friends, the closest of lovers... but destined to fight until one lies dead.

Morrowind was all about the shackles of destiny. And the inability to truly change things.
Not just a game. Art

Sweet Nerevar

"It is not to late for my mercy, Moon and Star."

Dagoth: "So what ails you?"
