I still don't believe in most of the oversoul theories, but I believe that Tiber Septim (that is, Tiber Septim when he was alive) was a Nord. I haven't found much in game lore claiming that Tiber Septim was a Breton (even the books that state he was born in Alcaire do not claim that he was a Breton). However, I have seen a few sources that say he was a Nord. If you talk to Heimskr, he gives you this tidbit of information:"In mortal life, Talos was a Nord possessed of unmatched tactical skill, limitless wisdom and the power to see into men's hearts. Talos mastered the power of the Voice, and with it he united the lands of men into a great Empire. In southern lands, he was known by the name Tiber Septim. Here in Skyrim, we honor him by his proper Nord name. So great was his reign in life, when he ascended to the heavens he was made lord of the Divines. If you want to know more, I'm sure you can find any number of tomes on the subject"
