Uh.... no.

The Dwemer found the heart of Lorkhan, and then, once realizing what they had, wanted to use it to build a god for their own purpose, with Kagrenac building three tools in order to controll the heart.

By diverse methods, Lord Kagrenac, High Priest and Magecrafter of the ancient Dwemer, determined that this magical stone was the heart of the god Lorkhan.... Determined to use its divine powers to create a new god for the exclusive benefit of the Dwemer, Kagrenac forged three great enchanted artifacts, which are called "Kagrenac's Tools." ~ Kagrenac's Tools

Nerevar learned from Daogth-Ur that the Dwemer were building Numidium to conquer Morrowind.

"Until Dagoth-Ur arrived. House Dagoth had discovered the source of the profane and secret power of the Dwemer: the legendary Heart of Lorkhan, which Dumac's people had used to make themselves immortal and beyond the measure of the gods. In fact, one of the their high priests, Kagrenac, was building a New God so that the Dwemer could claim Resdayn for their own." ~ Nerevar at Red Mountain

After talking to Azrua, Nerevar decided to go to war wit the Dwemer to prevent them from finishing their god robot and conquering Morrowind.

"Nerevar was troubled again and made pilgrimage to Holamayan, the sacred temple of Azura, who confirmed that all that Dagoth-Ur said was indeed true and that the New God of the Dwemer should be destroyed for the safety of not only Resdayn, but for the whole world." ~ Nerevar at Red Mountain

Numidium was only completed when Kagrenac used the tools to absord all the Dwemer's souls into Numidium to make its brass skin.

"Kagrenac was devoted to his people, and the Dwarves, despite what you may have read, were a pious lot-he would not have sacrificed so many of their golden souls to create Anumidum's metal body if it were all in the name of grand theater. " ~Skeleton Man Interview

True story bro.
