From what we know about him he lived in Skyrim before he became Emperor & the War that is takeing place in ESO was prolly still going on after 300 years. Unless a Emperor rose up to stop it before Tiber took the Throne but I don't remember there being an Emperor between Varen Aquilarios & Tiber Septim No. That's not a theory. That's probably just your headcanon or something you strew together while playing ESO.

Hjalti Early-Beard was born in 2E 827 on Alcaire, which is in High Rock.

The Ebonheart Pact was formed in 2E 572, roughly 300 years before he was born.

There is no mention at all about an alliance between Morrowind and Black Marsh during Tiber's time. Additionally, the Ebonheart Pact is, by far, the most unstable of all three alliances, considering it consists of three races which absolutely hate each other and have done so constantly in history.

There'd be no logical way for the Ebonheart Pact to survive after the Three Banners War. Tiber Septim/Hjalti Early-Beard was born in High Rock. Skyrim is, logically seen, not allied with Morrowind or Black Marsh as well. Tiber had to (attempt) to conquer Morrowind and Black Marsh. If they were in an alliance which he controls, why would he have to conquer them? When you play through the Pact quests in ESO you realise all that's holding the Pact together are the three leaders; Jorunn, Eyes-Of-Steel, and Noramil. When they die, it'll crumble quickly. I played through the EP in ESO, and all I can say is that the Ebonheart Pact barely holds together, even with the idealistic leaders such as Jorunn. Almost every Dunmer you meet in the game still thinks that Argonians should be enslaved and that Nords are monsters, while almost every Nord you meet thinks that they're superior to the Dunmer and Argonians, while almost every Argonian you meet hates the Dunmer & dislikes the Nords. That's one of the worst predispositions for an alliance possible.
