It makes perfect sense when you think about it, but I'm not talking about that right now, what i'm talking about is, could someone please convert this into a fanfiction possible an audio drama? What all of you seem to be forgetting is that Tiber Septim  MURDERED/slaughtered/killed in battle/whatever you want to call it hundreds, maybe even thousands or millions of people, for the sake of uniting Tamriel. Why would the Doctor give a lovely mother f*ck about uniting Tamriel? And even if he did, I doubt it would be enough to go against his fundamental philosophy in order to get it done. Not to mention, TIber Septim has an actual history - he was born in High Rock (I'm pretty certain of that) and studied under the Greybeards as Hjalti Early-beard, which was his birth name. It seems unlikely that he could also be the Doctor, unless he used the Chameleon Arch and opened his "watch" only a short while before he died, in which case Talos wouldn't be the Doctor at all, but himself, only the Doctor in origin. At that point, I am sure the Doctor would hate himelf, the Chameleon Arch, Tiber Septim, and Tamriel. Perhaps he wiped his memory of the episode in an attempt to erase it. I assume this would all be pre-Time War.

Oh, sh*t, I just created the most epic theory.

- WorshipsMeridia What you seem to forget is that the Doctor murdered/slaughtered/killed two entire species during the last great time war: The Daleks and the Time Lords. I don't see why the Doctor couldn't have waged some wars to unite Tamriel. Actually, no, I have not forgotten that nonexistent event. I was, however, aware that the Doctor killed the Daleks and the Time Lords. It is only murder/slaughter if the deaths are for a cause that is unnecessary. As far as I know, there was simply no reason to unite Tamriel, other than Tiber Septim Wanted To. Which doesn't count. In the Time War, however, there was literally no other option. The Doctor did what was neccesary, a totally justified action, and still hates himself for it to this day. I strongly doubt that he would bother to unite Tamriel, especially if he had to sink to such measures as slaughtering folks. And again, why should he care whether Tamriel was united? And don't even try the "It-was-a-fixed-point" thing. Of course it was a fixed point. It happens on its own, in its own universe and timeline. A fixed point should not require outside intervention to exist.

P.S. If you say that my explanations are riddled with plotholes, I apologize. Often, I skip over points in my head that may require explaining to others, but which I don't explain because I take them for granted. However, you'll notice that many 'fixed points in time' require the Doctor to be there in order for them to happen (Pompei being an example of this). Perhaps he united Tamriel because he knew it would stand better against some force yet unknown to us, or an entity lost to time. Maybe he was trying to find the Master somewhere on Tamriel, and he knew the power of the Empire would draw him out. When the Master finally revealed himself late in the Third Era, the Doctor returned as the Eternal Champion, and defeated the Master, who was know at that time as Jagar Tharn...
