Just a thought.....

We knowthat the Dwemer were scientist, which means a lot of watching, waiting, note taking, etc. while also working on experiments. We know that they were in conflict/war with the Chimer at the time of their disappearance, and the Chimer were closing in on victory. What if, please bear with me, not all of the Dwemer disappeared. We know of one and his story why he didnt disappear, but what if there are (or were) a few more. They could have potentially shaped the lore (thus why it seems to contadict, depending on the read) intentionally. Heck, how can we be sure that Yagrum is being completly honest? This allows them to go to another plane and observe Nirn, waiting for the perfect time to return. Now, lets move post-Skyrim. The Chimer are no more, having became the Dunmer, scattered throughout Tamriel. Morrowind is a shell of its former glory, the Empire is in Shambles, especially after the events of Skyrim. No Emperor, the counncil temporarily takes over (possibly dissolves the need for an Emperor). This alone can cause the Empire to further break.

Knowing that their "ruins" are still operational, all of these events would make a perfect time for the Dwemer to come back.
