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

    I guess it would like fascists in Europe naming themselves after Sparta, the Praetorian Guard, the Templars, or whatever.

    That's how I see it, too.

    Way I see it, considering how much underhanded bullshit Ayrenn did to become the Le Epic Chosen One Of Epic Destiny backed by intelligence/blackops manipulation (the protagonist included), she's basically :hillary-apartment: complete with the military adventurism and girlboss fandom. Any post-Ayenn legacy of the Thalmor is just the aftermath of her colonialist policies. :die-motherfucker:
