I've had this game since launch and I never thought about this until today. 
 
There is Dwarven Armor/Weaponry throughout the world, but where are the Dwarves?  

They're just short people dude, don't be so insensitive.

Morrowind. There is a dwarf in it known as the last living dwarf and he's all bloated and has a disease.  "

How did the rest of the Dwarves die? "

All the dwarven mines in morrowind are abandoned. If I remember correctly, it's because they all just integrated into the other races of the elder scrolls universe. They didn't actually die.
 
I might have just made that up though.

They were heathens and destroyed by the gods for defying them and relying on technology instead.

They're so short that you can't see them.

All these Oblivion kiddies need to go out and play Morrowind. I only kid. But, you should play Morrowind, because it's awesome!

The Dwemer inexplicably disappeared during the Battle of Red Mountain, during the War of the First Council. The Tonal Architect Lord Kagrenac constructed Kagrenac's Tools to harness the powers of the Heart of Lorkhan. His aims remain unclear, but it is believed he sought to heighten his race to Anumidum. The disappearance of a whole race in a flash sparked many theories, but is thought to have followed this attempt to use the tools on the heart, to make a superweapon, or to make their race immortal,  , and simply coincided  with the war. It appears that the Dwemer were inconclusive as to their opinion of using of the Heart. Some, including Bthuand Mzahnch, opposed its use, warning that massive side effects were likely, while the majority of the Tonal Architects, including their chief, Kagrenac, remained unconvinced.

Even Yagrum Bagarn, "the last living Dwarf" (whose existence is owed to the fact that he was in the “Outer Realms” when the event occurred), has no explanation as to what actually transpired. It appears all members of the Dwemer race were simply removed from the world, possibly to an unknown location in the outer realms. In the Dwemer ruins of Bamz-Amschend in Mournhold, Morrowind, there are numerous piles of ashes present next to weapons and armor, on chairs, and in beds. This suggests their physical presences were suddenly reduced to ash in some way.

A theory also exists that their sudden extinction was caused by their reversal of the usual processes involved in the Earth Bones, the laws of nature. Rather than creating profane by commanding the sacred, such as in Conjuration magicks or Daedra worship, they sought to create Anumidium, their own sacred, from the "deaths of the profane."

Vivec, the warrior-poet god of the Dunmer, similarly believes that the disappearance of the Dwemer is in some way owed to their "divine sin" - attempting to create a god for their own purposes from the remains of the godLorkhan. Whether their use of Kagrenac's Tools in this process or simply their intentions resulted in their extinction remains unclear in this theory.

I've always liked Morrowind's storyline. It's far more interesting than Oblivion's.   "

Woah, that is some serious Lovecraftian shit going on there.  
 
Doctor Dwarftapus is pretty cool though.
