It looks so similar to Cyordiilic cities. That's why I assume that. Skyrim has always had a close connection to the Empire, so it wouldn't be that unlikely they made a city that is a shout out to them. I don't think cities could be modernized to that extent ether, if they could why didn't they modernize Windhelm or Whiterun?

I read the page. It didn't answer anything. You claimed they were from Akavir. Contact with Tamriel and Akavir is rare. I could imagine the time they came was around the time of the Blades in the twenty eighth century First Era. But the Empire is already in Cyrodiil. Which means if she is from this time, she would have to know what the Empire is. So your main argument for why she is from the First Era falls apart, as I said.

Vingalmo isn't like that, and if Serana and her family are from the First Era he should be that old as well. But he's nothing like Garan. Also, Garan is Harkon's second in command, how could he get such a good position if he hasn't been there nearly as long as the others?

Fair enough, but it doesn't mean she was from the First Era, it could've happened at anytime. I don't think it was the that time period for the reasons I listed above.
