The lore in Elder Scrolls 6 (and yes, there will one day be an ES 6) will likely be much like the lore for Oblivion in Skyrim - vague. The lore will mention the Dragonborn, and how the Dragonborn defeated Alduin, but won't mention the Dragonborn fighting in the civil war or choosing one side or the other.

It'll be interesting to see how Bethesda deals with the Civil War. My guess is that the lore will describe years of unrest, with the Imperials gaining and losing control several times.
