I also selectively ignored things like the destruction of Kvatch and Helgen, or Baar Dau impacting Vivec and Southern Vvardenfell.

Skyrim was a tough one to put together. I could’ve just as easily put Falkreath or Riften in place of Whiterun and kept a geographic balance but Whiterun won out because it was such an important city to all of my playthroughs.

Considering my opinion of Falkreath went from "what a useless city" to "wow this place is actually pretty great" probably about 4 days ago IRL I'll refrain from critiquing it too much, heh. My second favorite city in Skyrim is Morthal though, which even I can admit is an objectively useless city.

Are you going to continue this as a dynasty or just post some information about the leagues and not really post all about them?

From your Dynasty, I can assume you've played most of Bethesda's games, but have you ever dabbled in Paradox Interactive's games? There's a really good Elder Scrolls mod for CK2 (and probably for CK3 in the next 6 months once they finally manage to port it) that let's you be a feudal lord in the Elder Scrolls setting, with the earliest start date being 20 years after the fall of the Second Empire and the playable timeframe being 1600 years from that point, so to roughly 4E 400. The game map is the entirety of Nirn, and has really taught me a lot about lore/ES geography, as it has not just Tamriel, but Akavir, the remnants of where the Redguard came from, and the remnants of where the elves came from.

I like that places like Kvatch are intact or rebuilt. I had to do some of the same in my Fallout leagues to fit what I want to cover.

I also think Kvatch being rebuilt is actually canon too, not sure about the other locations though, but I also don't remember where I got that from. It's a real "blink and you miss it" reference.
