That has been discussed on this thread already. The liklihood of the start being anywhere on the Summerset Isles is very low as once the protagonist got out of jail they would not be able to blend in as the lore up to now has the Isles inhabited solely by Altmer. (If the game is set far enough in the future from the events in Skyrim, new "lore" could have the Altmer importing other races to be slaves/servents/farm workers.)
