OK that sounds like the Dwemer would arrive in exactly the same location where they had disappeared. But if that was the case, they would die in the thousands. Some of those ruins are damaged, meaning the spot where they arrive is already occupied by a fallen rock or flooding water, boom, dead. Imagine what it would be like for all of the Dwemer on Vvardenfell considering it erupted. The non-automaton inabitants of the ruins would also attack them(Falmer, Bandits e.t.c) and would be largely successful. Considering the Dwemer would be taken by surprise, with their homes changed over the years and finding new occupants. In the long run, they'd be quickly wiped out by other races. Their strongholds are broken and therefore easy to siege, their clans are scattered and not too likely to cooperate and they wouldn't be able to repair all they needed for war overnight. And even if they did manage to subdue the nords, dunmer and redguards (which of all races won't bow down easily), other races would just sweep in to the dwemer territories with their own armies.(remember the Dwemer only lived in Morrowwind, Skyrim and Hammerfell with the occasional ruin in High rock) They would also be unfamiliar with the tactics of several races(the Empire and Dominion didn't exist during that time.) In the end, should the Dwemer return to Tamriel they would be left in a situation much like the Falmer were in their war with the nords.

Although I am curious as to what would happen in ruins which had new cities built in or on them (Mournhold, Markarth e.t.c)
