Would anyone else be thrilled per say if in an upcoming game if it took place after the events of Skyrim if Karliah took on the role of Empress? I know the chances of her actually being a heir are slim, but the Elder Council doesn't know that.

It'd be cool, but it's unlikely to happen as, well, she's a thief not royalty. The Elder Council wouldn't believe her so she'd be sent away. Unless they recognised her, in which case she'd be put in prison.
She's not related to the Septim Dynasty, however she does have a claim to the Morrowind throne because of her grandmother being Queen Barenziah. Maybe they will give references to 'a unique Dunmer descending to the throne' or something like that in the next one.
Well, supposedly karliahs ancestor Barenziah had an affair with talos (or tieber septim). But in an attempt to cover his tracks to make sure his wife didint find out, talos planned to have a baby barenziah was pregneat with be aborted. Suposedly Barenziah fled and allowed her baby to be born which went down the line to Karliah, which would make her a descendent to the imperial throne (Since barenziah went pregneat as a result of her affair with talos). But some however fell that tiebers planned parenthood attempt suceeded so its kind of a mystery.
It's said in the lore Barenziah's child with Tiber Septim was aborted and she had her last child with the Nightingale, Karliah's grandfather.
Karliah may be an heir, but she willingly chose a life of thievery.
She's 100% guaranteed to fade into obscurity.
But she will be marked as a legend for us thieves. ;)
