I was thinking, if I ever get to play TESO for Ebonheart Pact. I will make a Nord character who I will call Talos or General Talos and attempt to become an Emperor. I doubt I will be that good in competitive mmo like that. I hadn't looked at timeline that closely, but it seems that the events of the Elder Scrolls Online is the point when the destiny of Talos was decided, to be the one who claims the Dragon Throne as Tiber Septim and unifies Tamriel under one rule. However, I fear too many Ebonheart pact fans might get the same idea. At least those who would like to think more of the Lore, Cannon down the road. But then again, Akatosh works in mysterious ways (Remember the impact of Dagerfall on the history of the rest of Elder Scrolls?) So perhaps any outcomes could be possible if you think of it this way. At least in terms of who gets to be a unifying Emperor and goes down into history books. It call all be up to players imagination. However, if that would happen, I wish all the luck to developers to incorporate this possibility into the Lore of some other Elder Scrolls like they had to do before. Imagine explaining, how the heck Tamriel had Emperors and Empresses each of Altmer, Bosmer, Dunmer, Orsimer, Khajit, Argonian, Redguard, Breton, and Nord descent all at the same time! When everyone in Elder Scrolls from first to fifth believed and knew that it was Talos aka Tiber Septim who came out as a unifying Emperor out of the events of TESO. Or perhaps I'm missing some important detail about the lore here. I don't know of any in game text that tells of any other claimants to the Dragon Throne between the Akaviri Potentates and Tiber Septim who actually got the throne. Except maybe for the Under King, but I am not tottaly sure of that either. Perhaps I should pay closer attention to the in game history.

Oh and just to let you know, if I could in TESO, I would choose an Imperial as my first character as I did in Oblivion and Skyrim, but I would go with the closest one to that. The son or daugther of the Old Kingdom, so to speak the cradle of the first human Empire; the Skyrim. Although I really wish that Imperials were a playable race and they would have an opportunity to choose which alliance they want to side with. However, unlike mercinaries, once they would have chosen one, they wouldn't be able to leave it. Oh and they shouldn't be allowed to side with whoever in game Imperials siding with. Those characters should be unique from the rest of the Imperials in what they believe, if that even made any sense.
