History says the Dwemer disappeared during the Battle of Red Mountain (year 1E 700). Yet at the dawn of the 4E or fourth age, the character played in the Oblivion game stumbles on the hamlet called Hackdirt, whose people say their forefathers have had run-ins with people called the Deep Ones in the caverns below town. They also convenently left a text behind, now proudly displayed in thier local temple, calle the Bible of the Deep Ones. The text is entirely in runes. You cannot understand them.
Now it's true you can roam far and wide in confidence you'll not run into another Dwemer, unless Yagrum Bagarn is still around somewhere. But if what happened in Hackdirt is indeed Dwemer-related, the race has become quite evil, demanding blood sacrifices and such. I suppose you could expect such, if Kagranac's tools and the heart of Lorkhan influenced their very being when they "disappeared".
How does this "Bible of the Deep Ones" relate the the Dwemer then? Is this a sign the Dwemer are trying to re-enter the world from whatever plane they currently are? Can we be entirely sure all the Dwemer are gone? Exactly how dangerous is that book in the wrong hands?
Is this all merely a strong coincidence? You're thoughts?...
