But, it does in fact mean that. All the mede empire have in common with the True Empire is that they are ruled from the same place, and if that is all it takes to be the same empire, then the Septim Empire is the same empire as the Mer empire's ruled from the White-Gold tower before it. Do you know how the first mede became Emperor? He just randomly went in to the capitol and declared himself emperor. If he was of Dragonblood/Dragonborn, I would have applauded it. But he is not, that means him as emperor is illegal, according to the prophecy that says the Emperor's are supposed to be of Dragonblood. That's the criminal usurpating part, as for the warlord part, well that is mostly insult to make him look bad.
