1: Windhelm was the first Human city on Tamriel, and the Nords have kept it as more of a historical than a city. When talking to your spouse she even says the "the history lies in it's architecture" and the Nords have kept it that way if they wanted to change they would. Solitude IS from the First Era and it was created by the Nords not the Empire the current Solitude is heavily influenced by the Empire but it was not built by it. 2: Moth priests have been around long before the Empire, they were integrated into the Empire later to study the Elder Scrolls, but they were not created by the Empire. 3: Not everyone in Castle Volkihar is as old as Serana and Harkon, especially Vingalmo and Orthjolf, they joined later. It's not like you were born into the castle because you are also able to join the bloodline. 4: I'm going to answer this with a comparrison- The Dwemer were at the top of their power during the First era, their advanced technology and industrial compacity surrpassed all others even those in the Skyrim period. You really think they couldn't wear decent clothes? I think you need to looke some more into the history before you pop up these type of blogs.
