Well I'm a bit late to the party here (and just FYI I didn't actually read the last ~third of this thread) but I have some ideas. And by some I mean lots. It's kind of what I do. Also I can do the writing for this if you want.

Psijics: Judging by the CoW questline in Skyrim, it's pretty obvious they're opposing the Thalmor. So they should be a key faction forming the core of the Altmeri resistance, and a major group of allies for the player.

Dragons: There should be a number of factions of dragons: Paarthurnaax's dragons, and Paarthurnaax is alive because that was a stupid quest anyway, traditionalist dragons, who allied with the Thalmor to better KILL EAT PILLAGE BURN things, and other random dragons who just fly around doing whatever. Paarthurnaax's dragons are allied with the Empire/whoever the Tamrielic faction is at this point.

The Dovahkiin: He should either be alive or ascended. There's no way he would just die off. In any case, he should probably be a liason of Hermaeus Mora, given his status as champion as of Dragonborn, and perhaps the one you have to talk to to get Old Mora's support. He'd have his own Apocryphan appearance, of course; no need to clarify what race he (or she) was. It'd also be great if he was sort of Hermaeus's Barbas equivalent: a servant and friend, but also an external conscience, tending to keep him from doing things like tentacle-sniping elderly hippies.

The Falmer: We should see KPG making some progress here. Either helping them regain their civilization, or repopulating the original race with hidden groups of Snow Elf remnants like himself, or both.

Sheogorath: I feel like our good friend Sheo should be one of Jyggalag's allies from the get-go. After all, the HoK was the one who freed Jyggalag, so it makes sense they'd be on good terms despite (or perhaps also because of) their opposing natures. I just love the idea of them being best friends and bickering like an old married couple while they try to save the world.

Orcs: WE NEED MORE ORCS. Seriously, TES orcs are awesome.

Khajiit: WE ALSO NEED MORE KHAJIIT BECAUSE THEY NEVER GET ANY LOVE. Maybe a part of the main quest where you have to liberate Elseweyr from the 3AD?
