First you had Alessia, blessed and favoured by both the Time and Space God, succeeded by Reman, who also had connections to the Divine (although both of those two figures had deeper, creepier connections to the Aedra and other deities). Finally, we all know of Talos' role in reuniting the continent for a Third time, Actually, the first and second Empires of Man never fully united Tamriel.

Despite their attempts to incorporate Elsweyr into the fold, the Dominion seems to have treated the Khajiit better, and viewed them much higher than the Empire did.

Not really, the Dominion purposely caused the Void Nights and assassinated the Mane of Elsweyr. Apparently the Thalmor keep the governments of Valenwood and Elsweyr in line through contingency plans that threaten to ruin their provinces.
