Well look at the Council - they are all conniving against each other in accordance with Imperial Policy. The Imperials have been playing them off against each other, undermining and looting Dunmer industry, culture, religion and morality while appearing to be attempting to keep the peace.
Then look at the set ups in Gnisis, Caldera and Ebonheart = perfect representations of this.
Mind you, things have been very differernt in Vivec and Mournhold partly because of the presence of the two Tribunal members ... plus Mournhold is a long way into the east of the Province. So one has to wonder if the Imperial presence is at its strongest on the Western Mainland closest to Cyrodiil?
But now, although the Tribunal is effectively removed, the Emperor is dead, so who knows what will happen next?
There is one Imperial Descendant still living ofc - Helseth. His mum, Barenziah, was Empress and his dad was Emperor ... People seem to have been forgetting this. The Daggerfall books have loads to say about that, right? Barenziah gave up any claim to the Imperial Throne, but her son did not.
