There whas 2 races. Chimer (now Dark Elf) and the Dwemer who were at war with eachother. But made peace when the Nords attacked. Later the Dwemer created a New God (Brass Tower) and the Chimer wanted to destroy it and the Dwemer refused. And then they started battling eachother again. The Chimer got into the Red mountain. And took the 3 dwemer tools and did something with them so the Dwemer all turned into ash. Azura punished them for it and turned them into the Dark elf. So the Dark elfs wiped out the Dwemer. True story, it's actully in a book in the Dragonborn DLC. It's called Red mountain something.
