The Nedes of Atmora were superior human beings

They colonized the world and are the source of all humans

The Nedes were superior the Nords are the same

The nords are no better than others, just all of them tend to be warriors due to distrust of magic

The breton tend to be mages and are half elf

The imperials are humans who are well rounded due to thier position as head of the empire and center of the world

Talos - Tiber Septim used the shout to conquer the races of man, then the Numiden(giant dwarf robot) to crush the elves

The septims were decended from talos and had a claim to divinity and no one wanted to challenge it by killing the decendents of the 9th divine

The empire fell when they died however due to civil war and natural disasters.

Morrowind - Nuked by the meteor/volcano; attacked by the argonians losing the south before gaining thier feet and begin to counter

Blackmarsh - succeeded and attacked morrowind taking a chunk before they began to be pushed back

The Summerset Isles gained the support of Elswyre through solving the missing moon problem then sucker punched Valenwood and hit the empire from both Elswyre and Valenwood.

Cyroddil lost a lot of legions in the first battles till the emperor retook control and gathered the legions and pushed the elves out

After losing so much the empire needing a breather said fine Talos wasnt a god ( why would the medes care as he wasnt related to them anaways ... hence there reasoning i assume)

At the signing they decided to leave the battle lines were they were

A chunk of Hammerfell had already fallen however

Hammerfell was able to push the elves back since the elves were unable to fully commit without the empire hitting them

Hammerfell saw the lack of support as betrayal however and decided to succeed as well
