I think you're confusing a fun PvP oriented title with direct cannon. The afore mentioned bit about petty warlords is the best reference you'll find to non-Man races being in controll of the "empire". However, you also have to understand that we aren't going to truely rule anything. We'll just be the most powerful person in the area of Cyrodil for that moment, until we are overthrown and somebody else takes our place. So there weren't any official emperors durring this time frame, just large factions with strong and powerful people all trying to get control, and none of them truly succeeding until Tiber Septim steps in. So it is true that anyone strong enough can gain the temporary title of Emperor, but it's not a lasting or official title, thus it isn't bothered to be part of the Empire's History.
