Have anyone considered the possibility that Pelinal Whitestrike wasn't a time-traveler from the far future but instead an escaped Dwemeri experiment?

I mean, it would explain the cyborg parts and his rabid hatred of all elves.

Dwemer ruins are filled with high amounts of radiation

The dwemer were very radiation resistant maybe even immune

The mushrooms the dwemer gave the falmer were highly radioactive which caused not only to physically change but caused them to go feral

Many of the dwemer automatons are highly radioactive as well especially dwemer centurions given that centurion dynamo cores are basically nuclear reactors

There are spells and enchantments that can help adventurers combat the radiation of the dwemer ruins

Other Tolkien debates:

Do Balrogs have wings? Is Legolas golden-haired like his dad? What happened to Thranduil's wife?

My brain at 2am:

Does Gondor have running water? I am certain that Rivendell does given how many Noldor live there and I am convinced that there is no way that the deep elves didn't figure out plumbing before the rising of the sun.

Which leads me to wonder if imperial Númenor did too? Even Rome had aqueducts and since Númenor is sort of Atlantis and also a land that was ruled by Elros at the peak of mankind I imagine that it did. There were probably all kinds of cool technological marvels that died with the island.

Why are there two Legolas Greenleafs but one of every other elf? (Besides Tolkien forgetting about the first one) Is Thranduil part Vanya? Where else would he get golden-hair? Why doesn't Merry have any canonical children? Why did poor Ingwion not get a real name?

Dwemer settlements give me extreme anxiety, period. And if you thrive in that kind of environment; You’re so not human!
