Maybe you cant play an imperial because at this time there is no empire. The amulet of kings lies unclaimed in Sancre Tor, no heir of Alessia or Reman in sight. Basically all the Cyrodiilic people control at this time is the Imperial City making it a weak petty kingdom. Cyrodiil is a fairly desolate and empty land. Controlling the ruby throne doesnt add up to a hill of beans.
