you got fucking kings, Torygg, Helseth, living gods of the Tribunal.... under an "Emperor"? who puts some garrisons around but does.... what exactly?
theres an "East Empire Trading Company"? whats that do?
it kinda seems like a holy roman empire, kinda seems like a regular roman empire. they've got knights, dukes, but a Legion...
yes i know the answer is technically "these jackoffs just made it up as they went" and don't care a lick about political theory but this is exactly the kind of excercise that makes fun speculative historiography
That's the neat part. It doesn't work :think-mark:
Just about every game takes place during times when the Empire of Tamriel is fractured, threatened, divided, or outright collapsed.
but how do we explain it having so much political authority, multiple times, without some kind of solid, explicable (fanon) economic basis and dynamic political leadership :think-about-it:
Because the magical powers of Akatosh, the eugenics-flavored yet still fractured over and over again imperial line descended from Alessia, and CHIM. :morshupls:
Yeah even as a demigod or whatever I imagine it would be hard to argue against a quirked up Tiber Septim busting it down Akatosh style while he's goated with the CHIM
