what I have done? everyone discussin towns, not story

including Alexander?
The Temple and the 'Lords' of the Castle in Ebonheart are the Imperials - they 'Host' the Dunmer Council there and Duke Vedam Dren is the Imperial representative chosen from amongst the ranks of the Dunmer to oversee the Imperial interests. Please remember that there was a Dunmer Emperor once upon a time. But they have a full, Elite Legion there in the same building. So I see them as providin a 'dunmer neutral' meeting point where they can conveniently keep an eye on much of the goings on.
The 'Lords' in the Imperial built Castle in Caldera are Hlaalu, though the garison is Imperial. Not sure if Imperial slodiers actually have officers of any seniority? It may be that as they are not a Legion they are at the disposal of the Hlaalu. Like I said it is confusin ... and is the perfect demonstration of how deep into Imperial pockets the lapdog Hlaalu are.
Gnisis originally had an ancient outpost - possible Resdanian - then the Redoran evolved or built around it their Temple and Redoran Village,
with a village headman remember? Then The Imperials arrived and built their silly little 'fort' at the other end to prove they have a presence there. And then the Telvanni mage moved into the outpost. So it has become a Town.
Consider that the Senior officer of the Legion in Gnisis has his 'home' in a Redoran Building and the nature of the Imperial Barracks is Redoran and the puzzle is complete. But although many describe it as Imperial I tend to see it as a symbiosis with no clear indicator, so calling it Redoran suggests that your business is with the Redoran, etc?
Just goes to show why the Imperials are so despised by so many Dunmer - and also shows why
Connivers of Bosmora is such a great title for a story!
