And for a final note, not to hound you. What I met in the Septim Dynasty is that this Mede Dynsasty is no dynasty, it is a continual of the Septim EMPIRE, they may not  but they have the empire forged by Talos, they have the dragon banner, the Red Diamond of the Septim bloodline (seen on his bodyguards), the flag has a dragon in a diamond, that means he still points himself to be of the Septim Dynasty. Civil war has happened before, when the Wolf Queen and her son took over Imperial City in the War of the Diamond, this did not start a new empire, it continued the old one. Dynasties are by definition formed by a line of ruling members by birth OR inheritance, Mede (Titus's grandad) inherited the Empire.
