What would Nirn be like then?

Will be an empire long being collapsed and split apart into
independent countries?

My guess is the empire might not survived that long due to the Thalmor.

I think the Thalmor government will collapse on itself by the people because
of the war waryness. There are alot of humans and beast people than the mer.
The humans could join with the khajiit/argonians to create an underground
alliance to have some sort of guarilla war against the Thalmor. As the war
continues the mer population beginning to start wary and they soon eventually
start rebelling against the Thalmor government.

I thought the khajiit joined up with the Thalmor? Not sure tough, but I thought I read something like that.

Also if the Stormcloak rebellion grows even bigger I am not sure we would see the Nords teaming up with the Imperials anytime soon.
The Redguards and Imperial relations aren't really good friends either, since the Imperials kinda betrayed them during the Great War.

But maybe all this changes in 200 years, who knows?

the independent Hammerfell pushed back the Thalmor on their own, its safe to say that they arent that great.

My guess:
-Empire + Hammerfell destroy the Aldmeri dominion
-Hammerfell stays independent
-Due to the war that has been taking place in Akavir, the Tsaecsi are pushed back to the point of retreat by the alliance between the Tang Mo and Ka Po Tun.
-The Tsaecsi in their desperation to escape decide to come to Tamriel (either landing in the High Rock/Hammerfell region or the Elsweyr/Blackmarsh)

Given the Thalmor are basically the Nazis of Tamriel, I predict that the Thalmor will fall by the hands of the Empire (because I think the Stormcloaks would lose the civil war canonically), Hammerfell, and the Khajiit who finally realize the Thalmor caused the disappearance of the moons in the first place, then the Imperials and the Khajiit occupy Summerset Isles for about a hundred years before the Altmer gain their independence and become politically similar to Germany today. Elsweyr and Hammerfell remain independent of the Empire, but are now allies with them. Vvardenfell will probably become more hospitable over 200 years, so some of the Dunmer in Skyrim will probably move back there.

Thalmor domination.

If everybody united against the Thalmor, they wouldn't stand a chance so I can definitely see the Aldmeri Dominion going away within 50 game years and even quicker if Valenwood rebels and is successful. The Empire though will collapse depending on what happens after Titus Mede II's successor takes the throne.

Dagoth ur has returned and is plotting beneath Red mountin, however much of his power was tied into the heart of Lorkhan, which has been lost. It is found by a bosmer and his friends in High rock. Dagoth ur sends out his eight Ash Vampires, Led by the witch queen of solitude to recover it. Meanwhile, he Instucts the imperial battlemage to build him an army and wipe out whiterun. He sends an agent of his to posion Balgruf Kings mind. Two Bosmer are carrying the heart towards Vardenfell whle the rest of the Company, A ranger, elf and a short Nord are tracking two other Bosmer who were captured by Orc-guys and they're taking the Bosmer to the Imperial guard!
They first get to whiterun with their old, Wizard friend and restore Balgruf kings mind. Fire-mon sends his army of Orc-guys to attack Markarth, an old fortress. The Men there get aid from the Dark elves who renew old alliances. But Fire-mon has made a bomb and blows up the wall of Markarth. Then the wizard arrives with an Army and routs the Orc-guys. Fire-mon's army has been defeated.

The next chapter: Hey, The Emperors back!

I don't want to see into the future... I want to see Tamriel's past.

It's my wish that Bethesda considers going back to the Merethic or 1st Era in one of their future titles. The Lore is ripe with content, and they haven't made a game that's tapped into it yet.

Bring on TES VI: The Merethic Era


But for the OP's question, it's hard to say without seeing what Bethesda has in store with the upcoming DLC's.

I like this idea. So much potential. Bethesda does have two whole Eras they could deck games out of.

I don't think the Thalmor are "Nazis" how you call them. They are more like a world police in Tamriel. They want to control everything and everyone, or if they don't get their will they will attack the opposite.

Did i mention that i hate the word Nazi if compared to germany??

You just described the Schutzstaffel (SS) in detail.

But the Thalmor shouldn't be compaired to real life criminals like that. They're more like The Three Stooges, but with arrogant attitudes and glass axes.

Hmm no not really. The self-acknowledged World Police is the USA. So to me the Thalmor are more the USA of Tamriel.

However Politic shouldn't be discussed here.

My guess is that axes and maces go missing.

You're absolutely right. We shouldn't be the police, we should be mercenaries instead. The next time the world is suffering at the hands of a bad guy and you want them gone... pay us first. Charity is not an option anymore.

I degress. Politics is a no-no on this board, so let's leave that discussion for a different forum at a different time.

I think the emperor will die, the imperium will fall, Thalmor will make some moves that will fail, and the provinces will join together to form a new country not based on rule by emperor. This is the beginning of the end of royalty.

Well, the way I see it, the Empire is weak and crumbling. Not to mention the Thalmor have the Empire's balls in a vice grip so it is essentially just another Aldmeri puppet. I usually support the Stormcloaks. That being said, both feeling betrayed by the Empire, the great nations of Skyrim and Hammerfell form and alliance, and pressure High Rock to join as well(4E 203). Maybe call it the United Confederacy of the Humans of Tamriel or something like that. Then, the(we'll just call them this for namesake) The Northern Confederacy presents a truce to the Empire(which now is essentially just the Imperial province) in 4 E206. If the Empire does not accept it, it would be destroyed. Cyrodiil eventually join. Around the same-time, there is a rebellion in Elsweyr, a group believing that the Thalmor were responsible for the Void Nights. The Nothern Confederacy assists the rebels in winning their own civil war. 4E 208 Elsweyr joins the cause. The combined forces of Elsweyr, Cyrodiil, and the Northern Confederacy, Valenwood is crushed, and the Aldmeri Dominion offer a peace treaty that is quickly renounced by the invading forces. In 4E 209, a great invasion of Summerset Isle is launched, and the war ends with a Thalmor defeat in 4E 214, as the Thalmor tried to hold out as long as possible. During and even after the second Great War, a mass genocide and several purges are carried out through the Aldmeri Lands, as a good amount of the forces of the Northern Confederacy were either veteran generals or leigionnaries from the first Great War. The result is something similar to the 30 year's war, a severe depopulation of Tamriel, and Tamriel would remain un-united for an unknown period of time.

I think the most of you didn't finished the Civil War so they don't have the infos about the contract between the Empire and the Thalmor which you will hear from General Tullius.

actually they are pretty similar to nazis, you realize their primary goal is to commit mass genocide and wipe out all humans because they think in their heads it'll help them attain god-hood???

The Imperial Empire will most likely crumble and whats left of it will be picked off by the Aldmeri and their allies. Unless the race of man in Tamriel unite, I don't see them standing much of a chance alone if they were to try and rebuild the empire.

There is also the slim possibility as separate nations the Human nations could survive. Hammerfell is, at first glance, a great example. They were able to hold back the Aldmeri. But the Aldmeri were weakened by the defeat in Cyrodil. If a full Aldmeri and it's allies Invasion of Hammerfell happened and they were alone in the conflict from the start. I don't think they would last very long.

In 200 years I can also see some events happening in Akavir. Maybe an invasion from there would be enough to unite Tamriel once again. If you read up on Akavir, there are some stranger land over there and they've invaded before.

Oh and Black Marsh will probably remain separate from the empire / aldmeri and that's my guess as to where TES: VI will take place.

The Aldmeri Dominion is far closer to Nazi Germany than the USA, they were racial supremacists, started wars just for the sake of spreading their idealogical bull**** and making themselves supreme. If the Aldmeri Dominion is similar to the US, which is isn't, they'd be more similiar to the Deep South, Red-state, racist-America who want to start another war, but I digress. History shows us that nations like the Aldmeri Dominion WILL fall because everyone else will never put up with radical ideals that promote racial supremacy.

btw, I mean no offense to modern Germany (I love Germany), but I won't deny history and similarities.

You have no idea what the Nazis where and how Germany is nowadays.

Was going to get involved but somebody had to go with "Nazis" to which someone else responded "no, more like the USA". This thread is as good as dead. Shame since it had potential.

I agree and would love to see this.

-Thalmor lost the war.
-Dovakhiin becamed the emperor,than he resotored it.And then died with exactly 200 years(LOL).
-Deadric Princes are dying of Boredom,they demand an Xbox.
-Dragons living with peace,homever some people will often hunt them even with Dovakhiin not alowing it(but he died...right?)
-Talos worship was fully restored.
-The Falmer are pushed back to the underground.
-Hammerfell becomed independent.
-Well something will happen in 200 years,like in any TES game.I say that:
"The Dragons try to move to other continents such as Akavir and something bad will happen...."

Someone starts messing around with dwemer tech and daedric conjuring at the same time, and boom! we get dwemer-dremora hybrids wandering Tamriel.
