But if they showed up anywhere? Probably Morrowind. The Dwemer history is so tied to Morrowind--it ended there, might have even begun there--that it would be unlikely they would show up anywhere else. After all, the only places that have had Dwemer spirits, the closest we have ever seen to actual Dwemer, were in ruins in Vvardenfell. Dwemer are alien to Tamriel. Explain their advanced technology. Maybe they related to Lorkhan, he was tricked some of the Aedra into creating the material plane, Mundus. During the creation, many of the involved gods backed out or fled, but 8 of them (Stendarr, Julianos, etc.) continued, and Mundus was created.

Many of the gods were angry with Lorkhan, they killed him, tore out his heart, and tossed it into Nirn (the world of Skyrim, Tamriel, etc.). The heart ended up buried deep in what would be known as Red Mountain, the Dwemer lived in Red Mountain discovered the heart of Lorkhan. Something apparently went wrong, possibly due to interference from Azura.
