As a sort of "footnote" to why the second edition never came out, it may have been because of the Empress' position. " She is responsible for bringing the  Archmagister  of  Skyrim  to the  Imperial City, and creating the second ever  Imperial Battlemage  position since Tiber Septim's rule."

Additional to authorizing the second edition, I dare to claim she was pretty "daring" and tried to be a unique empress. "S he was assassinated in a plot conceived by the treacherous  Argonian  Elder Council member,  Thoricles Romus  who was furious at her refusal to send troops to the rebellious  Black Marsh ."

She wasn't just "anybody", and I'm guessing the second edition wasn't completed before she died. It was authorized in 331, and she died 339. I'm guessing a pocket guide like this would require several years of research, so...

It still seems sad how little " The  Imperial Geographic Society" has done that we know of..
