 * A Daedric Invasion (Molag Bal/Mehrunes Dagon)


 * An empire crumbling after their ruling dynasty was killed of (Reman Dynasty and the Tsaesci Ponetates/Septim Dynasty)


 * The blessing from the gods which was perceived no longer in affect becoming moot (Reman perceived as a Dragonborn by the Tsaesci/ The Dragonfires being unlit in both occurrences/Septim Dynasty ending/The ban on Talos worship)


 * An assassination bringing the fall of the Empire (Dark Brotherhood/ Mythic Dawn/Dark Brotherhood again)


 * A war breaking out after the Empire falls (2nd Era Interregnum/Stormcrown Interregnum and other conflict that were happening during this time such as Argonians invading Morrowind and Orsinium being sacked by the combined forces of Hammerfell and High Rock./Great war/Stormcloak rebellion etc.)

There are many parallels here that the comparison is uncanny and it seems history just repeats itself and it seems clinging on to the dying Empire just does more harm to Mundus all together.

Wulf said it best

"The Emperor is getting old. Don't know how much longer he'll hang on. So is the whole Empire, for that matter. Getting old, that is. The Emperor and the legions have held the Empire together for hundreds of years. It's been a good thing, by and large. But maybe it's time for a change. Time for something young and new. What? No idea. Because I'm old. Old dog doesn't get new ideas. But maybe young folks like you should try some new ideas. I don't know. Could be messy. But change is never pretty."
