this is precisely the contradiction. how we got an "empire" that seems to have a negligible effect on its subjects that is also omnipresent in the setting?
imagine if jesus was a warlord who conquered europe and called himself the roman emperor. so that even after he was long gone and the empire collapsed there was still a lot of inertia in favor of his empire
its basically that.
Also, he acquired a giant walking brass golem whose skin is made from a dead race that can "NOPE" things into non-existence. Why the tribunal agreed to give it up, I dunno.
so the empire is the caliphate :thonk:
wait unironically this makes the most sense. the emperors are religious authorities. and even deified (this is not okay in islam fyi), but most the continent shares this religion, theres a feudal state attached... Imperial City is Baghdad, the Septims are the Umayyad and the Medes are Abbassid or Fatimid :galaxy-brain:
Skyrim only joined the Septims, the other iterations it was conquered.
also this is a humans-indigenous-to-tamriel thread so dont bring that Septim propaganda in here abt atmorans bringing in all the men.
Drewmora recently did a lore video on Tiber Septim/Talos where he pointed out that the whole "stormcloak"/Thu'um mythos surrounding him may have been a calculated lie:
