(Aldmeris for example) In the event of game canon contradicting MK or vise-versa, I consider the MK work non-canon. Or, the author was writting as was simply wrong or lying. in many cases the in game lore contradicts itself. as in the case of a dragon break where it is all right and wrong at the same time, or when the author is just plain wrong. Loose ends and false threads are a big part of the mystery which is TES lore... The thing that WE have to remember is that the in game characters are trying to explain their existence in a world with a fourth wall. It gets complicated. The game designers have come up with some very interesting and actually new or at least novel concepts in a fictional world that interacts with a non fictional world, and seems to be at least somewhat aware of its plight. Vivic for example knows that he is fictional. He advises mass murder as a way to gain the power needed to advace the story, and does so without remorse. Sort of like Jessica Rabbit, he knows that he isn't evil, he is just drawn that way.
