Seriously dude, get off the thin ice.

You had a good thing going for a second there, stop not making sense.

Or are you intending to provide evidence (for once) that invalidates Serana: to go after another pet theory that you don't even need? Let alone why Harkon would care at all if she knows about the outside world. Especially if he used to be not-so-bad and only pursued Molag Bal after Serana was already born, and your ENTIRE POINT is that the Empire already existed at that time (Solitude and Moth Priest arguments), before he would have had any reason or ability to shut her away. And before you say it, Serana being cut off from the world would only matter if it was necessary to show that she couldn't know about the Empire, so you can't mix this one with your other hypothesis and say "the empire wasn't around before Harkon went crazy," because then WHY WOULD SHE NEED TO BE SHELTERED. You don't need to throw out every crazy idea that comes to mind, especially when they NEGATE YOUR ENTIRE PREMISE, and then defend them until your dying breath when someone says "nah, that one's no good." Stick with the ones that work. Throw this silliness away and go with the theory you already gave that doesn't require it.
 * being to Winterhold
 * knowing what Dwarves are
 * seeing Solitude and knowing its name
 * knowing about Windhelm
 * carrying an Elder Scroll and knowing what it is
 * knowing of the Ancestor Moths
 * being in a crypt miles away from the castle she supposedly never left
 * not caring at all and never once mentioning that she's never seen or heard anything about the outside world
 * EVERY SINGLE DETAIL IN THE GAME

You're committing suicide here with all these bizarre left-field assertions. 95% of the responses on this page are "stop assuming things you can't prove," you wouldn't have all this controversy if you would just stop contradicting canon and making up connections. Provide alternate theories=good. Claim to know more about canon than anyone in the world=bad. Pretend to know more about canon than Bethesda=How About No.

And yes, you are pretending to know more than Bethesda. Saying Harkon's not a king when Bethesda says several times that he is? Did you write the story?
