The funny thing is that the answer to the question of what happened to the Dwemer is in the username of one of the replies.

The Dwemer didn't just build Numidium, they became Numidium. Their crowning achievement, a verifiable reality in and of itself in contrast to the Aurbis, as what can be more real than what you have made with your own hands? Numidium was their final solution to everything: their apotheosis and final act of refusal of the Dream.
