It looks like an Imperial city, it has a tower for the Emperor. It also was the Capital of Skyrim after the Empire took over, when it used to be Windhelm. These things show that this city does indeed have a connection to the Empire. And since the Legion was garrisoned in the city, my point about all of this is to show that Solitude is not from the First Era therefor if Serana was she shouldn't know what it is.

It says the Cyro-Nords as in Nords that lived in Cyordiil. And it's not even known if that was from the early First Era. The Nords at that time lived in tribes and probably didn't have very much communication with the Nords in Skyrim.

I'm not saying he's better then them, my main point is that he shouldn't be younger then all of them and act like he's older then them. That's why I believe he is, and Serana is not from the First Era. It would take longer for him to build up his powers and for Harkon to trust him enough.

I feel these are legit arguments. They're based off of in game and lore facts which simply don't add up with her or her family being from the First Era.
