As of TES VI we will just be told that the Dragonborn led an offensive against the Aldmeri Dominion, had a son, died in the battle, and said son became the new Emperor of Tamriel (Obviously the Aldmeri Dominion being defeated). Titus Mede II will be dead, murdered on his own ship by the Dark Brotherhood. Obviously we will not know WHO exactly from the Dark Brotherhood murdered him, but he will be.

Regarding the Skyrim Civil War, either a Stormcloack victory or an Empire victory is indifferent, the Empire will dissapear either way and a new one will be born, an Empire to which Skyrim belongs once again. So, in short: Dark Brotherhood dissapearing or not doesn't matter, it's a shady organization, history-wise no one knows what happens to it. The Mede Empire dissapears. The Aldmeri Dominion has it's sorry ass whooped hard. A new empire is born, obviously the Dragonborn isn't the emperor since that would bring us to the matter of gender. Having the Dragonborn being the parent to the new Emperor, wouldn't. But that brings us to the matter of race, anyway. And remember, Cicero wasn't killed in destroy the Dark Brotherhood, and the Night Mother is still ok anyway

Maybe you're right about the race, but I don't find it that much of a deal. Let's say: "The Dragonborn had a son with a Dunmer, and said son was born a Dunmer in a result". That wouldn't specify the gender of the Dragonborn's couple at that time (it doesn't really have to be their wife/husband from the actual game, you know) and wouldn't make the son's race random at all.

And regarding the Dark Brotherhood, yes, that's what I had in mind. It can be reborn endless times, in fact. Even if all it's members were to die, make the Night Mother speak to some random murderer, making him her Listener, then make him recruit new members, and voilà, Dark Brotherhood reborn. It's not that easy to be wiped out.
