Pardon me, but yes it does. Mede Empire is held seperate from the Septim Empire, besides the difference in dynasties. If you shall pardon the affront, did you even look at the wikia link?

In essence, they may be similar and play all the same roles as in the other Elder Scroll games, they are in fact different if you care enough about the lore to make the distinction.

In the Septim Empire wikia page:

"The Empire went for 15 more years before the death of Chancellor Ocato which cause a brutal civil war in Cyrodiil 'and' ended when the Colovian warlord Titus Mede conquered the Imperial City and took over what was left of the Empire and a new empire was born."

This statement rather clearly indicates a difference between the two empires, is why I spoke out concerning them being the same empire, which has been stated as untrue by the wikia. Actually i was referrin to the original sourcs you used not the new one, but from reading the new one i will stipulate to your argument. However i was still correct when refering to your statment of your source making no mention to a new empire, try clicking on your own hyperlink or on mine here:

Original = Empires

Your new source = Septim Empire
