It belongs only in Zenimax's C0DA, and no where else. It's not part of the single player series, true, but Bethesda hasn't declared it non-canon. They even helped ZOS with the story to ensure it didn't contradict canon in any major way. That's because Zenimax owns Bethesda. And actually, ESO was a complete backstep on lore. It butchered just as much as Daggerfall. Yet Daggerfall is also canon.

That's the thing about TES lore: nearly every game contradicts previously established lore, in ways big or small. But it's still canon.
