If I remember correctly, Falkreath wasn't even part of Skyrim orriginaly. In Falkreath article on wikia, they state that Falkreath was originally part of Colovian Estates and only later incorporated into Skyrim. Also, three of four existing today human races are descendants of Atmorans, with Nords being their closest descendants. Bretons appeared from what some say hybreeding experiments of Aylids, or other high elf like elvan civilizations. Imperials they became such from those Atmorans who moved sought. Like someone said already, Imperials either descended from or were originally called Nedes, which got split from those that remained in Skyrim. Now, what sort of humans were used to make Bretons? That might not be easy one to answer. It was either Atmorans, or Nord, or Nedes, or even Imperials interbreeding, or hybreeding with mer that made Bretons. I am not sure if the high of Bretons should be taken into consideration in deciding, which sort of humans were selected by mer for  that. And of course, everyone knows that Redguards are separate race of human who came relatively not long ago to Tamriel from the dead continent of Yokuda. In that sense they were like Atmorans who came from Atmora. However, in deciding who could be considered to be as  closely related to Imperials, Redguards cannot be considered. Unless there are evidence showing that perhaps Imperials were formed by interbreeding of Nedes with that new human race. They are closely enough geographically (Cyrodil and Hammerfell) and Imperials do usually have a taned skin color. However, that can be from living in predominantly southern regions of Tamriel. So what kind of character model in ESO would be the closest one to an Imperial, for those who want to feel like they are playing one? I would say one can be either a Nord and pretent that they are a very tall Imperial, or they can be a Breton and pretend that they that they are a short Imperial. Surprisingly, it would seem that the Redguard actually might have a somewhat more optimal height to be an Imperial. If I am not mistaken Imperial and Redguard are same in height. Or maybe Redguards and Bretons are same, I get confused in height comparison. I wish they had an article here, where they would compare the sizes of all races. I know for sure that Altmer are the talest, then come Nords and then Orsimer. After that I tend to get lost, all I know that Imperials and Dunmer are the same high, while Bosmer usually smallest of all mer and Bretons are smalles of all human races. Never sure where exactly Redguards fit in that scale.
