>>13777779I don't really have that much in-depth knowledge about lore, just a rough overview of the races and world building. Lorkhan should have to do something with it. Tamriel as the middle of the ancient world was basically a bridge connecting the vastly different biomes to an intersection. In the future Tamriel has become the heart of world, ironically Lorkhan's heart was located in the Red Mountain, which is still somewhat part of the Tamrielic landmass. Other parts of Lorkhan that can still only be found on Tamriel are Ebony ore. Ebony is Lorkhan's petrified blood. The two moons Secunda and Masser are his physical corpse reshaped. Secunda and Masser are most important for the race of Khajiit.
They are either another native beast race of Tamriel, they could be a strange branch of descendants of the ancient mer/human race Ehlnofey or they are related to Bosmer. Bosmer themselves are offshoots from Aldmeri explorers of Tamriel. Speaking about native races of Nirn. Dragons and Hists are supposed to be the first ones, even before Ehlnofey or beast races.
>>13777982Ulfric has support of literally no one besides Nords. Even commoners in his own city hate him, he is forcing new rules upon the people of Skyrim. Meanwhile the Empire just wants to ban public Talos worship in name of the Thalmor and nothing more for now. From the Empire civil war quest line it's obvious that Rikke believes in Talos and Tullius maybe too. Perhaps even Titus Mede II. There has been a little hoax about Titus Mede II. In the assassination quest, the chests in his room can generate a Talos amulet, this actually means nothing, but imperials know how to privately continue to worship Talos without enraging the Thalmor.
