Actually I was referring to the original source you used not the new one, but from reading the new one I will stipulate to your argument. However I was still correct when referring to your statment of your source making no mention to a new empire, try clicking on your own hyperlink or on mine here:

Original = Empires

Your new source = Septim Empire I quoted the Septim Empire wikia page in my second post, but the link was always going to the Empires page.

On said page, it lists the seperate empires, as you know. Underneath the title of each empire it has the link to the main page of said empire. It lists the Mede Empire as an seperate entity from the Septim, or Third, Empire. This theme continues as it describes the Mede Empire as not a true Fourth Empire with no Amulet of Kings to legitimize it, this also indicates that it is a seperate entity from the Third Empire.

The fact that it lists them seperately was the point I was making the first post. I'm not exactly sure why you are trying to use that as a comeback despite my obvious attempts at trying to be gracious and friendly about the discussion.

Now, can we be done with this? Please?

Now, back to the main debate: The current empire is listed as the Mede Empire, and all the actions of said empire in Skyrim are put under the Mede Empire, and just the Mede Empire. With all respect to you, that alone may indicate that it is an seperate entity from the Septim Empire despite the ridiculous amount of things they share. This could be planned or a flaw in the lore on Bethesda's part, I'm not sure.

I won't claim to be a master of the lore, but I'm just inferring from what I know and what the WIkia says, as are we all.
