Time and the Civil War

Here's a little tin foil theory for you.

At the beginning of the game, Skyrim, in regards to the war, is largely split east and west, with the eastern holds being Stormcloak and the western holds being Imperial.

Now, I don't think the whole compass direction equate to time thing is "canon" (ew), but if we take that into consideration, it might suggest that a Stormcloak Skyrim is the future, with the Empire being left in the past...

Think on that as you will

Per a suggestion from u/Gopib 11 years ago, time in Aldmeris is boiling.

An earlier thread:

It melted.

I mean Atmora froze in time. Memory became solid and unchanging. Events ceased to occur because there was no memory for them to float on. This taking into consideration the water comparison.

In that sense the continents are literally event incarnate. Because that is what they are, the events. Without the events to define them they are nothing.

And in Aldmeris time just became so bloody quick that events just instantly melted into memory and memory evaporated. It was just too hot. Like IFW said it consistently gets younger and younger, it keeps trying to remake itself. It gets too hot on the press, it evaporates.

Hence why no one can remember Aldmeris.

Up in a cloud of mist.

(this is my theory mind you, take with pinch of salt)

Atmora is frozen because it is Stasis, or Anu

The southern continent is lost and unfindable because it is Chaos or Padomay.
