Morrowind was able to resist Tiber Septim for 3 reasons, Vivec, Sotha Sil, and Almalexia

They did not need either the 2nd or 3rd empire of men, however they very much so need help from the outside world. The only home they can call their own was gifted to them by a Nord, their most ancient of enemies. As late as 4E 43 the Argonians still occupy all the way past the remains of Vivec City, now the scathing bay, Vvardenfell.

One thing I always wonder is if the Nerevarine will return to lead Morrowind, he was last seen heading for Akavir, which is interesting because that is where Nerevar and Vivec went to train before he became the great Hortator.

"Soon they were walking across the eastern sea to the land of snakes and snow demons. Vivec wanted to show the Hortator the fighting styles of foreign tongues. They learned the idiom stroke from the pillow book of the Tsaesci king. It is shaped like the insight of this page. The Tsaesci serpents vowed to have their vengeance on the west at least three times." 36 lessons of Vivec, Sermon 12.
