Can't tell you much about Warhammer but I know the Dwemer/Dwarves of Elder Scrolls vanished because they messed with the Heart of Lokran, a Magic MacGuffin from Morrowind and after it was lost so too were the Dwemer because story reasons? They keep specifics purposely vague. There's also the Falmer Rebellions in which the most interesting race in Skyrim for me, the Falmer, took up arms against the Dwemer after generations of slavery.
