“It was unfashionable among the Dwemer to view their spirits as synthetic constructs three, four, or forty creational gradients below the divine. During the Dawn Era they researched the death of the Earth Bones, what we call now the laws of nature, dissecting the process of the sacred willing itself into the profane. I believe their mechanists and tonal architects discovered systematic regression techniques to perform the reverse -- that is, to create the sacred from the deaths of the profane.

As the Dwemer left no corpses or traces of conflict behind, I believe that generations of ritualistic 'anti-creations' resulted in their immediate, but foreseen removal from the Mundus. They retreated behind math, behind color, behind the active principle itself. That the Dwemer vanished during a conflict with Nerevar and the Tribunal is merely coincidence.”"

And where in Skyrim was it confirmed that they were bound to Numidium? Arniel Gane's quest in Skyrim. He forged a mimicry of the heart of Lorkhan, hits it with Keening, and then becomes spiritually merged with you, the player, a Shezzarine, an avatar of Lorkhan, who bears a piece of his, and Aka's soul.

Just as the Dwemer became spiritually bound to Numidium, who was,at the time, powered by the heart of Lorkhan.

The symbolic mimicry is blatant and should not be ignored.
