I wonder if the fall of Tamrielic Empire would be anything like the fall of Roman Empire (you got to admit, Empire of Tamriel modeled after Roman Empire) and weather there would be part of it that would survive for 1000 more years, like Eastern Roman Empire did. Oh and to add to your point, I wonder if Dunmer would join in on that council, or they would be too proud. Also, I am wondering, weather the goal of Great War for Dominion, actually was to break up the human Empire and set the inhabitants against each other, so that they could sweep in for easy picking later. From the civil war, that was essentialy initiated by Thalmor (outlaw worship of Talos, make Nords angry, Nords rebel) that does not sounds far from truth.

Although maybe, even though that was all part of Thalmor plan all along, they didn't count on the fighting spirits of such races as Nords and Redguards, not to mention beast folks. I am not sure how good Bretons are in fighting, hopefully they are not like French (sorry, no offense, but in recent big wars, France did not do so well. Ever since their loss in Franco-Prussian war they were not great fighters. I mean, who in their right mind makes a gass mask that you have to urinate on first in order for it to work? That was French gas mask in World War I. I am not trying to offend any French here, in fact, my wife actually have French roots.) Anyways, from what we know Redguards as of now, the only people that mannaged to defeat Thalmor. Nords more then likely going to drive Thalmor out of Skyrim together with the Empire. Unless Imperials will get smart and would join Redguards and Nords in fighting true enemy. Imperials are good in terms of them being cosmopolitan, they accept all the races better. Nords seem to be a bit too prejudice by nature. None of the Jarls really say that that what drives them, but many common citizens around Skyrim show distrust towards other races. It could go back to the deeper hatered of mer that started ever since Sartal, but who knows. In anycase, I hope this makes some of my points clearer.
