ESO is just so weird  that I'd rather ignore it in the singleplayer canon for the rest of time. After all, this entire invasion of Molag Bal didn't happen until someone decided that ESO should be set in the distant past, so they bent the entire lore to it. Including uniting every race to only three factions, and setups like the Khakiit and the High Elves, which they haven't explained for the second era (In the Fourth Era it's a different Dominion and the Khajiit follow the Elves because of the Void Nights and the Dominion's supposed part in ending them). In addition there's the whole Nord/Dunmer/Argonian group. The Nords and the Chimer (Pre-Dunmer Dunmer) fought at Red Mountain in the First Era. The Dunmer enslaved the Argonians at one point or another.

Finally there's the supposed importance of this dead throne of Cyrodiil great enough to force all races of Nirn to make alliances and go to war over the place.

And of course the whole "Molag Bal entering Nirn" is really basically the exact same thing that Mehrunes Dagon tried to do in Oblivion. Just with another Daedric Prince. Much original. Great thought.

(And as an MMO, the game's really not that good - I played the beta and won't be buying it)
