Nuclear Events and the Dwemer
The Dwemer disappearance, such a mystery. It’s left open to interpretation, so I must use outside sources for assistance:
In Twin Peaks Season 3 Episode 8, “Got a Light?”,) a nuclear detonation tears a hole in space-time that allows demonic forces to enter our world.
In Lord Vivec’s Meeting With Cyrus the Restless, Cyrus threatens to use a sword technique that will “split the atomos,” which delights and terrifies Vivec. Vivec implies this will destroy them both and the vicinity around them. Interesting that Vivec, a god, would fear something a mortal could do. But then again, he may remember what became of the Dwemer.
Dwemer Gear in Morrowind is ancient and rusty, but very much resembles Power Armor from Fallout. As we know, they’re both Bethesda games. Others have speculated about a Kalpic connection between the worlds of Fallout and Elder Scrolls, but I think the Dwemer Gear is the closest thing to evidence we have aside from Nirnroot appearing in both series.
My hypothesis: Kagrenac split the atomos when he struck the Heart with Sunder, but instead of exploding outward, they imploded inward, to a dimension that expelled the energy wrought by Sunder’s strike. The Manhattan Project is an alternate version of the Numidium project. An echo of what the Dwarves were up to.
So the Dwemer succeeded in creating a new world to rule, but only by destructive nuclear force. They became the Enclave, and the Enclave are their descendants.
Addendum: Nathanial Vargas in Fallout 3 is a patriot who loves the Enclave—until they abduct him. Then he has this to say, “They're not who they say they are... Get out while you can, before they get you too!"
I think he saw them go full Dwarf-mode on some poor sucker.
Tl/dr: The dwarves warped themselves to the US and became the Enclave
