there is no septim dynasty, every single septim died, martin septim was the last one. right now titus mede's "dynasty" is in charge, or at least, figureheading, the empire. ulfric doesnt want the empire, he just wants skyrim free and clear of it. its the thalmor that are really pulling the strings here, no one is really understanding that. black marsh is just not strong enough, they have no standing army and after invading and being pushed out of morrowind, they are weaker than ever.
