Secondly, where does it ever say the 500 split and became the seperate races? There are stories of the early Nords finding Bretons and mistaking them for elves. After the Circle of Captains was formed their split up and each ship captain lead his crew somewhere else. Some travelled to Cyrodiil and later became the Nedes.

Some went to High Rock and became the Bretons after crossbreeding with the local elves.

The ones that stayed in Skyrim became the Nords.
