''Why didn't the Snow Elves just leave to other parts of Skyrim if Ysgramor did NOT colonize it? It makes no sense, because they went with the Dwemer underground, which wouldn't have been necessary. So, it does contradict lore.''

They did leave to other parts. It took the Nords 13 generations to kill off all the falmer in Skyrim. The last snow-elves were killed in High King Harald's time, they were hiding in Lake Honrich. So like I said this is not a lore contradiction.

''Serana asks who the High King of Skyrim is, implying that she was indeed around when Skyrim was a unified country as it's known as in 4 E 201. Once again, showing she probably was not from the First Era, and that Harkon was not a king of any kind.''

Serana was locked in the ruin years after she was already a vampire. Like I've told you before whatever Harkon and his family were they escaped and hid in Castle Volkihar. For all we know she could have live there for hundreds of years before being locked with the scroll in that ruin. Meaning she would have easily lived through Harald's reign and maybe other High Kings, while still being locked in the ruin before the rise of Allesia's Empire. Because she obviously never heard of an Empire in Cyrodiil, which means she must predate Allesia's Empire.

You keep saying that she must be from the Interregnum but that makes zero sense. By then there were already two different Empires in Cyrodiil, even petty farmers would know about them. So unless she had amnesia there is no way she was from the second era and knew nothing about the Empire in Cyrodiil.

''Also worth noting, a lot of the idea that Skyrim was made up of multiple different kingdoms is conjecture, with little to no lore proof or evidence backing it up. Making me skeptical to believe it...''

This is a theory, that is possible since like I've said we have no idea how the other cities were founded. They could have easily been founded by other nobles that came from Atmora since after the Return of Ysgramor a lot of Atmorans started to come to Skyrim. It is almost assured that other Nobles would have come and would have founded other settlements. It's is only logical, since Ysgramor obviously was not the King of Atmora and as such wouldn't have ruled over all the nobles that came from the continent.
