I'm currently planning to run an RPG campaign with my friends set in Cyrodiil, after the Great War. I already have some ideas on the politics and shape of life in Cyrodiil after the war and White-Gold concordat, but would love to hear some assumptions and theories on the situation of Cyrodiil. Specifically, what happened to the cities, counties and economy of Cyrodiil.

Here are some of my ideas already.

1. The Great War has left Lewayiin ruined, with most Imperials either dead from Thalmor crackdowns or living elsewhere in Cyrodiil. The Khajit population was forefully deported because of their alignment to the Thalmor (true or not) and only the Argonians remain in a large amount. Imperial power is centered in Lewayiin's castle, but the Empire is entertaining diplomatic talks to turn over Lewayiin county to the Argonians. The Empire aims to gain an ally from the ascending Argonians against the Thalmor, something that the Thalmor vehemently oppose.

2. Cheydinhal becomes the primary magnet for Dunmer refugees, specifically of House Hlaalu. The local Dunmer population grows immensely in size, and many of them gain influential positions as administrators and businessmen. They have no official political power due to being opposed by House Redoran who 'officially' run Morrowind, but they ensure their voices are heard. They are strongly against giving Lewayiin to the Argonians.

3. Due to the southern cities being destroyed or damaged (Bravil is burnt almost to the ground), the northern cities of Cheydinhal, Chorrol and Bruma are now the strongest and most influential cities in the Empire. They have become de-facto capitals of the Empire, and take the resources of other counties in return for funding the rebuilding of souther cities.

Any advice or further ideas on Cyrodill are really helpful!
