You hear them talking about all of Uriel's sons being slain in the prison cell. Plus nobody stepped up to grab the throne by right of blood, they all fought over it. This tell me that the Septims are gone, plain and simple. Well, Septims proper are certainly gone, but there's no telling how many Emperors may have fathered illegitimate sons--possibly without even knowing it. And it seems likely that some daughters of the Septim line would have been married off or simply forgotten, which could leave others of the bloodline. And I'd bet good money that, like Martin, they never even knew that they were of royal blood.
