Well, we don't need (nor do we have) the Amulet any longer. And now after the great wars, there isn't much use in going back to a Septim. I think we could assume, safely, that Titus Mede II is dead, even if you destroyed the Dark Brotherhood (the man from the Council was rather persistent about it and would possibly find another avenue, plue you don't kill Cicero or Babet(sp?)). So the "empire" is once again thrown into disorder after all is said in done in Skyrim with the dragons and the civil war and the Dark Brotherhood. I imagine there will be seperate factions again well into Mid-4E, but that's just my hypothesis.
