The Empire of Cyrodiil is very old, dating to the Early First Era; don't think that the Septim was the first to create an Empire of Cyrodiil. Nevertheless the Volkihar Clan is very old, dating to the Merethic Era, most likely before the Dragon War.

Though I still highly doubt the Volkihars will be featured in ESO as the Volkihars were in hiding.
