Yeah it's a good question, some time ago I believe I read somewhere that Vvardenfell is currently a barren wasteland during this period, hence this region being left out in ESO. Now with the rumours that it could actually be coming in ESO, we certainly need our TES Lore Masters out there to come help fill us in

Digging my brains memories here... but weren't the dark elves (Dunmer) originally the Chimer who settled in Morrowind and were at war with the Dwemer? If i remember, when the event happened that wiped out the dwemer, the Chimer turned into the dark skinned Dunmer at that point.
I could be wrong, I seem to remember that though
