It's Out of Game lore. Most of what they reference is written by Michael Kirkbride, former writer for the Elder Scrolls series. He continues writing even after he left Bethesda. Some view his work outside of Bethesda as canon to the story of Elder Scrolls, others do not.

It all depends on what you believe is considered canon to the lore of Elder Scrolls. And that's as far as I will pursue that topic.
