These Dwemer, or Deep Elves, as I know they are called, never wanted to hurt anybody. All they wanted to achieve was immortality, that is the only thing the Deep Elves wanted. Sure, they did some bad things, such as trap the Snow Elves and gouge their eyes out, put them to work in the mines, and then the Snow Elves turned into the Falmer, but all they wanted was immortality. They wanted to rest with the gods. The Heart of Lorkhan could help them do that. They could use it's immense energy to teleport themselves to Sovengard, or outside of Mundus. Or so they thought. The Chimer - the predecessors of the Dunmer, or Dark Elves, - declared war, because they wanted the power of the Heart of Lorkhan. Then, the overlords of the Dwemer, used Keening, Sunder, and Wraithguard on the Heart of Lorkhan, and POOF! They were all gone! We don't know what happened to them when the Heart of Lorkhan was touched by the three artifacts, but I like to think that they just achieved what they had wanted all along. Immortality.
