User blog comment:Ghurbulz/ Orsinium - Just a cluster of huts, or a new province of Tamriel?/@comment-1992639-20120714222052

Ofcourse it could become a province. The Empire is very similar to old Rome. There was the Celts, Gauls, Visigoths, they got their cities when the romans conquered them. While the Orcs join willingly instead of being conquered, I can imagine that they may slowly advance when it comes to architecture and what not.

If they make a DLC about Orsinium, I'd love it when we as player can influence wether they turn back to Malacath or become provincial, maybe starting a civil war between the two sides. The fun part there would be that interactions in Skyrim itself could significantly change depending on what side wins out. Heck, the Stormcloaks may support the tribal side of Orsinium to keep the Empire occupied while the Empire supports the provincial side, desperately wanting to conscript the orcs in far larger numbers into the legion.
