Anyways, the 20ish years have done little to diminish the great war, which is still fresh on many minds due to the white-gold concordant, and the Thalmor's presence in their everyday lives. Its not like an event that ended 20 years ago, it's still largely going on, albeit in a diminished state.

The Redguard's doing something major in that time would still be big news, given how important the war still is to most people.

And it would still be odd to not hear about it in Skyrim. Like you said earlier, 'most people don't care about the war' why would they care more for a war that isn't being waged so close to their homes?

and those who would care about that war care more about ending the civil war.

and another thing is that skyrim is technically Empire; who's gonna give them the information from the Hammerfell war, Surely not the AD, and Hammerfell is not on good terms with the Empire, so they're not gonna give them detailed information on how they waged war.
