During the Oblivion Crisis, the Septim Empire abandoned Morrowind to re-deploy those legions in Cyrodiil. This is what led to House Hlaalu (staunch Empire supporters) being kicked off the Council of Great Houses and having their Great House status revoked. In essence, the Septim Empire abandoned them like the Mede Empire did Hammerfell. Adter the eruption, there is not much left of good old "Morrowind" and since they are on the "lame" side of the continent. House Indoril hostility to the Empire doesn't help either. The growing power of Hlaalu and Helseth is in direct contrast to the principles of Indoril. Even House Dres sees which way the wind is blowing after slavery is given up, allying against Indoril with Hlaalu.
