Bethesda has not and will not do so. ie They are a political party who does not announce there policies. Indeed, there are in-game things which are published by Bethesda but are /not/ canon. IE Sheogorath living in Aetherius, as seen in Daggerfall. There is no real concept of Canon, and definitely no "official canon". I was talking about ideas. Ideas are usually held within a political party, with the major ones being announced. Example: The return of Alduin, which was told in the trailer.

Never heard of Sheogorath living in Aetherius, anything to back this up? http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Journey_to_Aetherius It's in this Daggerfall quest.

And yes, of course there are core things in TES that definitely happened because we witness them in-game. But there are lots of things we don't directly witness (ie stuff we read in books). As a lot of MKs stuff is presented as a book, written by an in-universe author, they too are fallible, just as Pocket Guide to the Empire is. The political party analogy works, but it doesn't invalidate MK's OOG contributions, it just leaves his work open to the same kind of doubt as any other.
